GA Review
[edit]GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria
This article is in decent shape, but it needs more work before it becomes a Good Article.
- Is it well written?
- A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:
- Well done.
- B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:
- A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:
- 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:
- Is About.com a reliable source?
- A. It contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline:
- I think it is. Technically, the URL is animatedtv.about.com, albeit Airport '07 got passed with it in, and I think its reliable. However, I must admit that I think (quite sure its not, but I should mention this) if it is about.com that is a mirror site of Wikipedia. I don't think it is, as the site looks different, but I would encourage leaving this up for a few days to get some other comments, and I'll act on them. Qst (talk) 17:25, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
- Alright, no pressure. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 01:47, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
- Just commenting here as I've been asked to provide a second opinion. About.Com is part of the New York Times Company. They have a defined ethics policy, have a set of standards for guides writing on the site and a clear compensation and editorial control policy. In addition, Nancy Basile (the reviewer) has her own bio page detailing her history in journalism. As the article uses the reference to talk about the reviewer's opinion, I'd suggest that it'll be fine. Hope this helps, Gazimoff 13:04, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
