Talk:Armageddon (2006)/GA1

GA Review

Alright, the article's looking pretty good already but here are a few suggestions for improvement:

The event starred wrestlers from the SmackDown! brand: a storyline expansion of the promotion where employees are assigned to a wrestling brand under the WWE banner - I don't see a need for a colon instead of a comma.
The leading staged rivalry going into the event was between (David Bautista, Jr.) and King Booker (Booker Huffman) - should there be a "Batista" in there?
Then, on the December 15, 2006 edition of SmackDown! - we don't really need the "then" at the beginning.
Cena defeated Finlay in a non-title match after lifting Finlay up on his shoulders and slamming him to the mat, a move dubbed the FU, [10] - ??? End of a sentence missing?
The hearse drove to the ring, appearing to have nobody in the drivers seat to drive the car - "driver's seat".
The Undertaker appeared from the back of the hearse, as Kennedy sprung from the ring, immediately - what's happening immediately? If they're happening at the same time ("as"), then we don't need the "immediately".
On the December 15, 2008 edition of SmackDown! - if this is background, why are we whizzing two years into the future to 2008? ;)
...which ended in neither wrestler winning the match - "neither" refers to only two wrestlers, but there are four in the match. Maybe say "neither team".
He threatened to run him over with a hearse that had appeared again - "the hearse", if it's the same one.
Oleg Prudius defeated Scotty 2 Hotty in a dark match, a non televised match - "non-televised".
The first match to air live was between Kane and Montel Vontavious Porter (MVP) - it's a new section, but it's still been stated above what MVP stands for, I don't think we need to spell it out again.
Same with the image caption. Exclude the "(MVP)" because there isn't any following usage.
The only way to win an Inferno match is by throwing your opponent into a fire that surrounds the ring on all four sides - using "your" is informal; say "by throwing one's opponent".
...the only way to win and capture the titles, was by climbing a ladder - no comma needed.
Both men had different scenes in the match where they were in control - kind of awkward to read; can we reword?
...where the only way to win was by throwing your opponent into a hearse and driving it out of the arena - again, don't use "your".
A back and forth match took place - "back-and-forth".
The Undertaker then opened the hearse door, exposing all the broken glass inside and Kennedy into the car and drove the hearse out of the arena to win the match - this sentence doesn't really make sense to me; maybe check if it's worded correctly.
The host of the contest was Santa Claus (who was portrayed by Big Dick Johnson) - no need for "who was".
Is "diva" capitalised? Main event matches section uses both ways, so pick one and change the other.

That's about it - the article will be on hold for seven days so good luck with the changes until then :) —97198 talk 09:50, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've completed your requests. Also, I'd like to state that sooner rather than later, I plan on adding the event's reception. -- iMatthew _T.C. 11:22, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Could you do that before the GAN hold expires? Because that'd probably be better to satisfy the broadness GA criterion. —97198 talk 06:28, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Awesome. Just a couple more things:

Can we get a source for the statement "The Richmond Coliseum has a maximum capacity of 13,500, but that was reduced for Armageddon (2006)"?
I'm not sure we should use the customer poll from Amazon.com - it's not a reliable or accurate representation of fan opinion or the event's (or even DVD's) popularity.

Well, SummerSlam (2003) just passed it's FAC, and there was a bit about the Amazon reception, so it seems fine. Also, I can't find any sources, but the Wikipedia article for the Richmond Coliseum says it can hold 13,500 people, and all pro-wrestling PPV's are reduced due to the stage. -- iMatthew _T.C. 14:16, 23 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I guess there aren't any Nielsen ratings or other similar figures available to determine popularity with fans, so this is really the closest we can get. And for the unsourced thing, I guess the information's not really controversial but it'd be good if you could find a source outside WP for the usual capicity being 13,500. —97198 (talk) 01:56, 24 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Done. -- iMatthew _T.C. 02:34, 24 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Alrighty, nice work. I'm happy to promote to GA. —97198 (talk) 02:48, 24 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
