GA Review

[edit]

Reviewer: Carbrera (talk · contribs) 00:39, 8 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I am Carbrera, and I'll be reviewing this article for possible good article submission.

Full review coming very soon. Carbrera (talk) 00:39, 8 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Advance notice – Just so you know in advance, when creating and expanding this article, I pretty much "used up" almost all of the reliable source coverage about the topic that is available online. Some sources essentially report the same content in different manners. Additional websites are available, but do not constitute Wikipedia's definition of reliable sources.

Thank you. I appreciate the note. Carbrera (talk) 02:23, 8 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Lead

[edit]

Fantastic work; I enjoy the content (and the food) mentioned in this article. :)

History

[edit]
  • I realize you stated how you can't really expand the article, but this section is awfully short.

Ingredients and preparation

[edit]

Paragraph 1

[edit]
  • Add a topic sentence to this paragraph please; an introduction would be a nice addition to the article
  • I don't understand why allspice is linked and the rest of the ingredients are not
  • I would add 'also' to the sentence discussing how it 'may be served topped with a dusting of confectioner's single'

Paragraph 2

[edit]
  • The last sentence sounds more like poetry than a statement to me. Could this portion be reworded perhaps?

Paragraph 3

[edit]
  • Delete a 'a' from the lead sentence; there are too many in the bundt pan section

Variations

[edit]
  • I think you could list one more fruit if applicable; when you state 'fruits', I think plural, but only one fruit is listed

Notes

[edit]

Nothing to add here...

References

[edit]
  • Make sure all references have access dates formatted in the same way; example: 28 September is preferred, but a few sources read September 28 instead
  • Other than that I am glad to see nothing wrong with the sources :)
  • I don't think this is necessary, because the dish originated in the United States, and the U.S. uses a mdy format. The way the dates are presently written is consistent throughout the article, in which the access dates and publication dates are all in the mdy same style. See also Date format by country.

Further reading

[edit]
  • You could, once again, add more categories to this article; it's not necessarily a must, but I think it is a good thing to have at least 3-4 on each article

End of GA Review:

[edit]

I really enjoyed this article, perhaps that it made my mouth water? However, I'm putting it on hold until you are able to read my suggestions. I have no doubt in my mind that this will be a GA in no time. Thanks, Carbrera (talk) 22:46, 8 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Great job, I'm exceptionally proud of your work on Wikipedia. I definitely look up to you. :) Carbrera (talk) 23:42, 8 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
