I've listed this article for peer review because I'd like to get a GAN later this year.
Thanks, moɳo 04:30, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
- Expand the lede per WP:LEDE; perhaps link/elaborate on "ultraportable" in the lede (if there's no link, try "ultraportable laptop" or something to that effect)
Done--moɳo 03:41, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
- Add more info to the refs--some missing publishers, etc.
- Refs 6 and 8 should be in the "Notes" section instead
Done: There have been additions to the references; numbers are screwed up.--moɳo 03:41, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
- Move the ones about GB counts to notes. —fetch·comms 15:07, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
Done
- The "Overview" jumps in a bit too quickly; add an intro sentence about its design or something
Not done--moɳo 02:25, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
- Watch for unreferenced paragraphs throughout (for example, paragraph 2 of "Overview")
- Found diagram at this page; see here. I'll continue to look; is that acceptable?--moɳo 03:41, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
- Anything other than their site? Otherwise, it'll work, I suppose. —fetch·comms 15:07, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
Not sure Slim pickins. Found a different Apple ref here.--moɳo 16:37, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
Done: added ref from Apple.
- "The current model has a low voltage, small form factor Core 2 Duo "Penryn" with 6MB of cache, running on a 1066 MHz bus."--any way to link the last bit, or elaborate on cache/bus, etc. I understand it, but some may not.
Not done--moɳo 02:25, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
- "Unlike the rest of the MacBook family, the MacBook Air has no directly user-replaceable parts."--what does directly mean here, as it seems the battery is replacable, and the HD as well?
Battery cannot be replaced, hard drive upgraded. Will clarify.--moɳo 03:41, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
- I'm sure there's more you can add to "Environmental considerations"
Done with refs.
- Why is "Security" indented?
Done--moɳo 04:24, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
- "The flip-down hatch is a tight fit for some headphone plugs and USB devices, requiring users to purchase an extension cable."--what hatch is this, now?
- See image. Will clarify and reword.--moɳo 03:41, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
- "Several[quantify]"--fix, please.
- Not sure how many; will look up.--moɳo 03:41, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
- "Several[quantify] MacBook Air users[26] since the release of the first-generation product have complained of overheating causing CPU lockup. ." should be "Since the release of the first-generation product, several[quantify] MacBook Air users[26] have complained of overheating that caused CPU lockup."
- Maybe general expansion as you feel necessary.
Doing...--moɳo 03:41, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
—fetch·comms 23:36, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
- deal with the image gallery tag. Please rm the iSight logo, not applicable under fair use here. —fetch·comms 15:07, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
Done--moɳo 16:24, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
- Comments from Airplaneman ✈
These are just some things that would be good to see in a GA that FC might not have touched on already:
- If you could, try to fill out this article with more writing. This can be done by adding reception section(s) and details on each release.
- Generally, a section or subsection is expected to have more than just a meager sentence (such as in MacBook Air#Security). Try filling out or combining extremely short few-sentence paragraphs as they tend to break up the flow of prose. See here as well as here for some more info.
- I believe the lead still needs expansion. Once the article is filled out, you should ideally have two solid paragraphs for the intro. Airplaneman ✈ 03:12, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
Happy editing, Airplaneman ✈ 03:04, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
- More: I'm adding citation needed tags to the article as needed so it doesn't need to happen at during a GAN. I've also cleaned up and used
{{Cite mac}}
in the Specifications section. Airplaneman ✈ 22:57, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
- ref 45 is a blog, please remove/find alternate
Done--mono 22:39, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
- what makes ref 44 reliable, in your opinion?
Done--mono 22:39, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
- make sure refs are consistent (43, for example, needs some periods, maybe use a template?)
Done--mono 22:39, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
- also, what makes macrumors a reliable source? It's mainly speculation to me.
Not done When reporting on announcements from Apple, MacRumors is pretty reliable.--mono 22:39, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
- ref 42 has two periods after Apple Inc, as does 41, 18, 19, 7, 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, and 10. Please check all...
Done--mono 22:39, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
- ref 39 says "Crave" but it seems to me that it's on Cnet? Please list Cnet as the publisher as well.
Done--mono 22:39, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
- per the above, fill in any possible missing ref info (like 35 has an author that could be added)
Not done Couldn't find author.--mono 22:39, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
- It's Rob Beschizza, please look right under the title and to the left. —fetch·comms 20:47, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
- wait, 39 ref = 36 ref, please combine
Done--mono 22:39, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
- 29 and 30 missing ref info. Engadget is technically a blog, not the best source.
Doing...--mono 22:39, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
- ref 28 is in a funky format (needs accessdate, author name should be Last, First--same goes for 33 and 32)
- Eh, AppleInsider (24)... mostly rumors. Anything more reliable?
I have opened a discussion about rumor sites for these articles at Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard#Rumor_sites_such_as_MacRumors_and_AppleInsider.}}--mono 02:35, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
- ref 11 Newsweek should be italicized. Same goes for any publication title (but not the actual publisher)--that's the |work= param in cite web/news
Done--mono 21:05, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
- any real diff. between refs 12 and 13?
Done. combined.--mono 21:05, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
- refs 22/23 wikis, unreliable
Done--mono 21:05, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
- ref 21 needs pub/work, has extra quotation marks
Done--mono 21:05, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
- daring fireball (20) link dead, is unreliable anyhow
Done--mono 21:05, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
- 25, iFixit, not iFixIt
Done--mono 21:05, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
- Bleeding Edge (31) is reliable how? The url says it's in a blog archive
Done
- please get consistency! Especially accessdates--got some 25 May 2010, some 2010-05-25, and some May 25, 2010. Citation templates do the YYYY-MM-DD iirc.
Done as YYYY-MM-DD. --mono 21:05, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
—fetch·comms 02:14, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
- Please provide the revision you used for this. That way, I can actually figure out which ref is which.--mono 03:03, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
- The one with my timestamp, of course. 02:14, 25 May 2010 (UTC). —fetch·comms 23:13, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
- Why are some of the Apple link titles italicized? —fetch·comms 21:06, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
