GA Review

[edit]

This review is transcluded from Talk:Hurricane Lester (1998)/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review. GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria


This article is in decent shape, but it needs more work before it becomes a Good Article.

  1. Is it well written?
    A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:
    In the Storm history section, it would be best to add the year the Hurricane took effect.
    B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:
    In the lead, 15th and 12th are mentioned, but then the sentence starts with "eighth", that sorta needs to be fixed. In the Storm history section, it would be best to link "mph" and "km/h" once, per here. The article tends to have "red links", if they don't have articles, it would be best to un-link them, per here.
  2. Is it verifiable with no original research, as shown by a source spot-check?
    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):
    C. It contains no original research:
    D. It contains no copyright violations nor plagiarism:
  3. Is it broad in its coverage?
    A. It addresses the main aspects of the topic:
    B. It stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style):
  4. Is it neutral?
    It represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each:
  5. Is it stable?
    It does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute:
  6. Is it illustrated, if possible, by images?
    A. Images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content:
    B. Images are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions:
  7. Overall:
    Pass or Fail:
    If the above statement can be answered, I will pass the article. Good luck with improving this article! Also, contact me if the above statements are answered.

Fixed most of the issues. WP:MOSNUM says numbers under 10 should be spelled out, hence why 8th is spelled out. Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 18:53, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, my bad on that part. I swore I read something about that and forgot about it. Thanks for catching that for me Julian. ;) Anyways, congrats you know have a GA in your midst. ;) --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 19:08, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
