GA Reassessment

Article (edit | visual edit | history) · Article talk (edit | history) · Watch
There has been a request on WP:GAR to reassess this article since 2015. Looks like adding some references is the biggest thing that needs to occur; I will identify everything during the reassessment, which will be occurring over the next week. Kees08 (Talk) 19:16, 14 December 2017 (UTC)

Grammar

• Rephrase:
  • "an event that the authors put down to the effects of global climate change."

Images

• [[File:Part of Great Barrier Reef from Helecopter.JPG]]
  • I requested a move, so none of you have to deal with that (helicopter is spelled wrong)
• [[File:GreatBarrierReef-EO.JPG]]
  • Please replace with an extracted image from [[File:GreatBarrierReef-PIA03401.jpg]]. The current image says the image is 'probably' this image, but it would be better to properly extract from the source image.
• [[File:Great Barrier Reef (aerial view).JPG]]
  • Can we get this transferred to Commons? Not required for GA, this is just extra credit
• [[File:GBReef_TempChlorophyll_200602.jpg]]
  • Source is a redirect, needs to work

Added archive. Hanif Al Husaini (talk) 17:07, 8 March 2018 (UTC)

• The rest of the images seem to be fine (captions etc)

Citations

• Does not matter for GA, but if the statements are not controversial (like the size of the reef), the citations can just be in the article instead of the intro.
• The management section needs additional citations, I can provide specifics if need be
• Address the citation needed and unreliable source tags
• Expand citations to include at least publisher and access date

I am going to wait on assessing the rest of the article until these have been addressed. Kees08 (Talk) 20:44, 14 December 2017 (UTC)

@Kees08: Just a friendly reminder that this is still open. AIRcorn (talk) 00:19, 26 March 2018 (UTC)

@Hanif Al Husaini: Do you have any interest to work on addressing the GAR comments? Otherwise I will be demoting the article in the near future. Thanks! Kees08 (Talk) 00:20, 26 March 2018 (UTC)

@Kees08: Hanif has been editing since your reminder so it is probably safe to assume they have lost interest. AIRcorn (talk) 00:52, 18 April 2018 (UTC)

If you need a hand to close this let me know and I will help how I can. AIRcorn (talk) 00:53, 18 April 2018 (UTC)

Thanks, I closed it just now. Would be great if we had an assisted way to do that someday, a lot of pages to edit! Kees08 (Talk) 11:12, 19 April 2018 (UTC)

@Kees08: You might want to add your support/comments here. AIRcorn (talk) 20:24, 19 April 2018 (UTC)
