GA Reassessment

This article has been reviewed as part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/Project quality task force in an effort to ensure all listed Good articles continue to meet the Good article criteria. In reviewing the article, I have found that this article has some relatively minor issues that need to be addressed.

• It is reasonably well written.

  a (prose): b (MoS):

The prose is OK, perhaps 6/10. The section on awards is messy and I don't think the part on stock racing really needs all those headings: it would be better in one section. See below regarding problems with the later life sections.

• It is factually accurate and verifiable.

  a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

Some of the online references are improperly formatted.

• It is broad in its coverage.

  a (major aspects): b (focused):

The sections "Elder of Andretti racing family", "Later Life" & "Media appearances" are disjointed and messy. Try to clean them up into organised paragraphs, perhaps merging them into a single section.

• It follows the neutral point of view policy.

  a (fair representation): b (all significant views):

• It is stable.

  

• It contains images, where possible, to illustrate the topic.

  a (tagged and captioned): b (lack of images does not in itself exclude GA): c (non-free images have fair use rationales):

• Overall:

  a Pass/Fail:

I will check back in no less than seven days. If progress is being made, the article will remain listed as a Good article. Otherwise, it may be delisted (such a decision may be challenged through WP:GAR). If improved after it has been delisted, it may be nominated at WP:GAN again. Feel free to drop a message on my talk page if you have any questions, and many thanks for all the hard work that has gone into this article thus far. (If you are really busy, let me know and I'll give more time. I need to know however so I can see that someone is interested in addressing these concerns.)

I think this now passes, good work. I would like to see the media appearances section merged into a single paragraph of readable prose rather than a list though.--Jackyd101 (talk) 10:52, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
