Talk:Fifth Down Game (1990)/GA1

GA Reassessment

Article (edit | visual edit | history) · Article talk (edit | history) · Watch
I'm reassessing this article for WP:GA Sweeps. After reading it, there's a lot of work that needs to be done on this article. Most of my comments are the same as Pete's in a section above, but I have others as well:

The WP:LEAD needs expansion.
The Background section is both unrefrerenced and needlessly detailed. Since it was a typical college game during the season, not much needs to be here, and only rules that apply need to stand.
The game summary needs expansion. See other college game GAs for good examples, and of course the fifth down part needs to be split off and beefed up a bit. (in fact the background could go in the new fifth down section itself)
A good deal of the National championship section is unsourced, with quite a bit of information that, again, has nothing to do with the 1990 season, let alone this game.
Ref #9 (why can't they win?) is a deadlink.
Nothing mentioned about the ref squad after the original suspension.

I'll put this on hold for five days. If a good deal of progress is not made by then, it fails. If all this is done, I'll do a more detailed review. Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 19:24, 5 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

After mulling it over, I'm actually going to delist it now, because there is a huge amount of work that needs to be done on this article. Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 16:57, 7 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
