Geo Storm

[edit]

I have tried to make all the changes recommended below by ApolloBoy. I have also taken new photos which can be uploaded to the "year to year changes" as was recommended by Maclean25. Please continue offering advice on how to improve this article Evenprime 06:28, 5 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This article is just about ready to become featured in my openion, and peer reviewing it to point out the flaws will just edge it closer! --Karrmann

  • Featured? Far from it. For starters, there are a bit too many pictures, and it seems to focus too much on the motorsports aspect of the Storm. Sorry, but I think this article needs some work before it can become a featured article. --ApolloBoy 23:54, 4 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • I don't think so, I re read the atrticle from top to bottom, and I barely found any aspects of motorsports, it focus pretty much on the car. --Karrmann
What do you mean? Look at the sections "Performance", "Reviews" and "Current use"; all of them mention motorsports or racing. All I'm saying is this article needs to cut back on the performance aspects if it's going to become featured. --ApolloBoy 05:37, 5 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Wtf? So it has a sentance mentioning performance, so what? --Karrmann
A sentence? If you look more closely, you'll see it has more than just a sentence about performance. --ApolloBoy 02:31, 15 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • If you plan to nominate it for featured status, first compare it to other similarFAs. More importantly compare it to similar failed FAs and avoid those mistakes. Some comments:
    • Unlink "Geo" in the title, it is already linked further down in the sentence (keep the title black in the first sentence).
    • "small car" - this is a minor thing but is there a more specific, less subjective term than "small" that could be used?
    • remove the external links from the body. Keep them all in the "References" and "External links/Further Reading" sections.
    • "1992 to 1993 GSis..." avoid beginning a sentece with a number -> "The 1992 and 1993 GSis..."
    • The bit about drag racing seem awkward. I do not see what the point being made there is.
      • The external links have been turned into references, the sentence rewritten to avoid starting with a number, drag racing comments have been minimized, and all motorsports references have been moved to the performance section. Other users have made the other changes described above. Evenprime 21:17, 8 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • "Year to year changes" has the potential to be a great illustrative section. Try experimenting with tables and lists formats. --maclean25 17:03, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • I have uploaded additional pictures in an effort to make an illustrated guide to different storm variants. I am looking for 1990 Base and wagonback models to take photographs of in order to complete the table. Evenprime 21:17, 8 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Good article that gives a concise overview of the car. Cedars 00:36, 9 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
