Wikipedia:Peer review/Operation Clambake/archive1

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article was recently successfully nominated and listed as a Good Article. It cites (67) WP:RS sources, and utilizes (5) images - 2 of which the copyright holder has expressly stated can be used on Wikipedia, and 3 of which are free-use images, either from Wikimedia Commons or released to the public domain. I am now looking for feedback and suggestions on how to touch up this article in order to further improve its quality status. Thanks, Cirt 02:11, 11 November 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Addressing points from semi-automated peer review

I will list the points from the semi-automated peer review, and address them side-by-side, here below:

  1. Per Wikipedia:Context and Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates), months and days of the week generally should not be linked. Years, decades, and centuries can be linked if they provide context for the article.[?] --  Done - I looked through the whole article, but could not find any dates linked that were not full dates. Cirt 05:13, 13 November 2007 (UTC).[reply]
  2. Per Wikipedia:Context and Wikipedia:Build the web, years with full dates should be linked; for example, link January 15, 2006.[?] --  Done - I looked through the whole article, but it looks like all years with full dates are wikilinked, and those without full dates are not. Cirt 05:13, 13 November 2007 (UTC).[reply]
  3. Please make the spelling of English words consistent with either American or British spelling, depending upon the subject of the article. Examples include: favorite (A) (British: favourite), meter (A) (British: metre), offense (A) (British: offence), recognize (A) (British: recognise), ization (A) (British: isation), isation (B) (American: ization), program (A) (British: programme), sceptic (B) (American: skeptic). --  Done - Checked this. All usages are American English spelling, unless cited originally with British English, within a quotation or citation. Cirt 05:16, 13 November 2007 (UTC).[reply]
  4. The script has spotted the following contractions: isn't, if these are outside of quotations, they should be expanded. --  Done - Checked this. Only two appearances of "isn't" - and one is inside a quotation and the other is inside a citation. Cirt 05:16, 13 November 2007 (UTC).[reply]
  5. Please ensure that the article has gone through a thorough copyediting so that it exemplifies some of Wikipedia's best work. See also User:Tony1/How to satisfy Criterion 1a.[?] You may wish to browse through User:AndyZ/Suggestions for further ideas. Thanks, APR t 19:45, 12 November 2007 (UTC) -- Thank you for the review, I will make sure the article gets a good copyediting look through. Cirt 05:16, 13 November 2007 (UTC).[reply]
