A 2007 GA promotion that survived the original late-aughts GA Sweeps project. Sadly, like a lot of the older Georgia Tech-related GAs and FAs (see Wikipedia:Good article reassessment/Traditions of the Georgia Institute of Technology/1, Wikipedia:Featured article review/Tech Tower/archive1, Wikipedia:Featured article review/ANAK Society/archive1, and a few others) this isn't at the modern quality content standards. There is unsourced text, out of date information such as 15 year old circulation figures, an excessive use of non-independent sourcing (a hallmark of the Georgia Tech articles from this era), weighting issue, and some source-text integrity concerns. There is more detail in the concerns I left on the talk page. Hog Farm Talk 03:43, 16 November 2024 (UTC)
- Additionally, it lacks prose quality on a quick first glance:
- Lack of neutrality: The first issue also featured an article by legendary football coach John Heisman
- Weasel wording: Several sources claim that the Technique is among a number of student organizations to be founded by the ANAK Society
- Lack of conciseness: The Technique has been published weekly ever since, except for a brief period that the paper was published twice weekly. This period ran from January 14, 1948, to September 6, 1956.
- Since solving all the issues (esp. sourcing and weighting concerns) would require a substantial rewrite, I think this should be delisted in the near future if no one volunteers. It is a wonderful world (talk) 12:29, 18 November 2024 (UTC)
