Failed GAN

[edit]

Sorry, but this article doesn't pass the quick fail-criteria. It is too short, not very well referenced, and altogether not even close to being ready to becoming a good article yet. Thanks for the time, and I hope to see this article expanded into a GA in the future. --Meldshal [Chat] 17:46, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's a small topic with a correspondingly small article. What, precisely, would you recommend adding to the article? As to references, all the content is referenced from reliable sources. In what respect is it not well-referenced?--ragesoss (talk) 17:50, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I meant generally that 3 references (they all should be reliable, anyway) is not enough for a good article, in some cases, that is not even good enough for a B-class article. I would be glad to help you find some references. Why doesn't anyone ask anymore? I'll find some refs. --Meldshal [Chat] 17:55, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I appreciate that. I haven't looked into references since I created this article, and there may be some new useful ones out there. The number of references, per se, however, is not one of the good article criteria. Small articles need correspondingly less referencing; this has one reference per paragraph, which is typical of Good and even many Featured articles.--ragesoss (talk) 18:04, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Here is one: http://www.reno.com/article/20070228/RECREATION10/70228002

You'll have to scroll down a bit for that one.


You can also use other subpages from your first reference. --Meldshal [Chat] 18:26, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
