Random article link

Per WP:SELFREF, should the text "'random article'" not link externally to the Special:Random function? Skomorokh 18:36, 15 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe, do you think I should remove the link altogether? ISD (talk) 18:49, 15 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it should not be wikilinked, but following the rule of thumb of "would we link to this if it were a page on another website", I think it ought be externally linked here as 'random article'. Cheers, Skomorokh 18:56, 15 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

OK, cheers. ISD (talk) 19:04, 15 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

GA Review

This review is transcluded from Talk:Bigipedia/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

Reviewer: Wizardman 18:09, 8 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Pretty much my only main concern (rather major) is that the reception section is basically just a bunch of quotes in their own paragraphs. Like ideas could probably be combined into their own paragraph(s), and it would be better served not just being a list of quotes about the show. I'll put this on hold and pass when the section is modified. Wizardman 18:09, 8 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've tried to improve the section like you asked. ISD (talk) 21:44, 8 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The information in the quotes that were removed I would like to see added in, though perhaps not in blockquote form, and maybe just a small part of the quote itself. It's better like this than before, but maybe not perfect. Granted, I'll still pass the article as a GA; just tweak the removed quotes to how you think they'd be best shown with the information given.
