Details to find

[edit]

I am almost certain that the unsourced dimensions given in the Korean Wikipedia are rounded to 100 mm. However, I found more precise sources only for the non-extreme intermediate cars, and one for the power cars. But I am not sure I can trust the last one: the length given is identical to the HSR-350x's, despite the different front design; and the height is identical to that of the KTX-I, despite the slightly decreased height of the HSR-350x relative to the KTX-I. For now the Infobox uses this data and assumes that the extreme intermediate cars continue to keep to the TGV dimensions.

Another info to find: maximum speed achieved in tests. A user who uploaded a video on several sites claims 384 km/h, but I couldn't find another source for the claim, and it's close enough to be a corrupted reference to the planned but never realised HSR-350x test speed of 385 km/h. (Also, the design speed, which is pretty much what you are supposed to barely surpass in tests, is 330 km/h.) --Rontombontom (talk) 00:17, 24 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

GA review (see here for criteria)
  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
    fails lead. Lead should be at least three concise paragraphs, summerising the article.
  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
    Since half the references are in Korean I'm going to have to assume good faith.
  3. It is broad in its coverage.
    a (major aspects): b (focused):
  4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.
    Fair representation without bias:
  5. It is stable.
    No edit wars, etc.:
  6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
    a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
  7. Overall:
    Pass/Fail:

When did Korea start its high speed project

Already before HSR-350x was finished Should be before then HSR

Links to techie words or explaination needed. Should have links all over the place here to be fair. Hardly any techie words explained

only pressure isolation as in the KTX-I. Need was requiered or something at the end

The view that shorter trains have to be added to the KTX rolling stock for operational flexibility was reinforced by the actual Honam KTX seat occupation trends after the launch of KTX services on April 1, 2004 with the 20-car KTX-I trains. Stupidly long sentence and seems to be quiet a bit of POV within it.m rephrasing needed.

In October 2005, however, Korail called competitive bids. Who. This has not been explained nor is the oraginsation/person linked, they haven't been mentioned before

Hyundai Rotem also offered the KTX-II in the competition to supply rolling stock for Brazil's Rio–São Paulo project.[22]. Merge can't have one sentence paragraph

After a naming competition held in the next ten days,. Over the next 10 days

Since the first reviewer was indef-blocked, I'll review this and will post my comments shortly. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 15:57, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Aside from the issues above which haven't been resolved,, I found these issues:

  • "To increase the domestic added value," of? that's a bit confusing as written
  • "the carbody of intermediate cars is made of aluminum" it could probably just say "the body of.."
  • All refs in Korean need to be noted as such. Many are but some are not.

As a result of the findings combined with it being a week without work done, I am failing the article as a GA. It can be re-nominated when all issues are fixed. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 03:13, 30 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
