Now that this is listed as a good article, I wonder how close it is to featured status.

Brief comment: I gave this article a lengthy peer review in February. Your response was zero, not even an acknowledgement. I hope you will treat your reviewer a little more courteously this time. Brianboulton (talk) 01:03, 7 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I apologize. I must've forgotten to comment. Your peer review helped me get the article to GA, if that's any consolation. – Muboshgu (talk) 02:32, 7 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comments
  • There appears to be a common trend at FAC to not cite the info in the lead at all. After all, it should all appear in the main body and be expanded upon, so that's the best place to reference things.
  • " at the National Mall in Washington, D.C.." avoid those double periods...
  • "New York Magazine", it's actually called New York and is a magazine.
  • Mythbusters are MythBusters.
  • Reddit is called reddit these days.
  • "The rally was produced by Stewart's Busboy Productions." ref?
  • "Colbert followed by announcing the "March to Keep Fear Alive" on the subsequent episode of The Colbert Report." ref?
  • "Stephen Colbert also" no need to repeat his first name this far in.
  • "reached 69,000 on Facebook" does ref 4 or ref 18 back this up?
  • "The rally spawned ..." just before you refer to a different rally, just be clear which rally you're referring to.
  • Don't link Facebook on the second occasion.
  • Wall Street Journal has The as part of its name.
  • "As of October 31, 2010," just a day after the rally. It's now over a year later. Update?
  • "been 6 billion" six.
  • Where is first para of "Setting" referenced?
  • "Thereafter, Colbert challenged Stewart point by point, usually claiming victory." ref?
  • Really do we need to link "faith"?
  • In general, there are many very short paragraphs, almost bordering on bullet point trivia lists.
  • Avoid SHOUTING in the refs.
  • Some of your online links have access dates, others don't, be consistent.
  • Avoid spaced hyphens in the link titles, use an en-dash per WP:DASH.
