Opening statement

[edit]

Over the coming days I will review this nomination against Wikipedia's good article criteria. All interested participants are invited to provide their constructive input. Please comment under specific bullets if your comment relates, or initiate a comment in the appropriate section so it too can be considered.

Initial read

[edit]

By my initial read, I do find the article well written. I am optimistic that this review can conclude with the article being assessed to "GA" class. To the extent I believe improvements should be considered, I will provide specific examples in the comments section. I generally do not edit an article I review for "GA", until after the close, unless asked. If you prefer, simply make a good faith correction. If you rather, rebut any suggestion with valid mitigation. My76Strat (talk) 06:29, 25 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Feel free to edit the article. I need all the help I can get.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 02:29, 26 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I do consider myself free to edit the article. It is more of a personal protocol that I do not, rather allowing the contributors to decide if a suggestion is appropriate. I would of certainty correct an issue that was directly related to a violation. My76Strat (talk) 20:40, 27 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comments initiated by reviewer

[edit]
  • Because this article has a section called 'Productions', each time the word 'production' appears in the prose it is subconsciously presumed to relate to that section. There are times when I believe the generic use of production should be replaced with a variety of other terms which can also add information. For example, as it relates to my earlier comment regarding ballet, perhaps at some point simply replacing 'the production' with 'the ballet' would satisfy both elements simultaneously. Other suggestions to consider in lieu of 'the production' 'The dance adaptation', 'the presentation', 'the show', or others in similar vein. My76Strat (talk) 20:51, 27 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Preliminary findings

[edit]

I find this article meets the criteria for assessment to "GA" class. I will leave this review open for a short period while I formulate a final disposition. Absent any mitigation of consequence, I intend to soon close this review as successful. My76Strat (talk) 22:15, 28 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

What I have found

[edit]

Edward Scissorhands (dance) is a good article because—

  1. It is Well-written to wit:
  2. (a) the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct; and
    (b) it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation.[1]
  3. It is Verifiable with no original research. It has been reviewed, and found compliant to the following standards:
  4. (a) it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline;
    (b) reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose);[2] and
    (c) it contains no original research.
  5. The article is Broad in its coverage and has shown that:
  6. (a) it addresses the main aspects of the topic;[3] and
    (b) it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style).
  7. It is Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.
  8. The article is Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute and it does:
  9. [4]
  10. Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio, and the specific examples within the article have shown:
  11. [5]
    (a) media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content; and
    (b) media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions.[6]
    Well done! My76Strat (talk) 23:14, 28 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    Footnotes

    [edit]
    1. ^ Compliance with other aspects of the Manual of Style, or the Manual of Style mainpage or subpages of the guides listed, is not required for good articles.
    2. ^ Either parenthetical references or footnotes can be used for in-line citations, but not both in the same article.
    3. ^ This requirement is significantly weaker than the "comprehensiveness" required of featured articles; it allows shorter articles, articles that do not cover every major fact or detail, and overviews of large topics.
    4. ^ Vandalism reversions, proposals to split or merge content, good faith improvements to the page (such as copy editing), and changes based on reviewers' suggestions do not apply. Nominations for articles that are unstable because of constructive editing should be placed on hold.
    5. ^ Other media, such as video and sound clips, are also covered by this criterion.
    6. ^ The presence of images is not, in itself, a requirement. However, if images (or other media) with acceptable copyright status are appropriate and readily available, then some such images should be provided.
