Could be clearer

[edit]

I think the organization could be clearer. For example, MERLIN is mentioned in at least four different paragraphs. In reading it, I found the relationship between this instrument and MERLIN a little confusing. ike9898 16:27, 19 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your comments. I've now rearranged the article to simplify things; MERLIN is now mentioned in only two paragraphs. Is that better? Mike Peel 17:05, 19 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Failed GA

[edit]

Mike Peel listed this article in WP:GAC on 18 December 2006, but there is no {{GA nominee}} template in this talk, so I assumed this article is a GA candidate. Otherwise, please remove this review and the corresponding {{FailedGA}} template.

As of [1], the article during this review, I failed this article for Good Article status. My major concern is the inline citation, per WP:WIAGA criterion 2.c. The nominator alleged that putting inline citation is OTT in this short article, but inline citation is used not based on how long the article is. It is used to to avoid original research, to help its verifiability and to ensure neutral point of view. These are the three pillars of Wikipedia and it should be supported by all WP articles.

Furthermore, I don't see that the article stuck on its current length. The scope of the article can be expanded more. What is the history of the subject? Are there some notable events coming from this place? Who is running it now? Could you pelase elaborate more of its daily usage? And as a layman, please explain more in layman words about the technical details.

Therefore, at the moment, I cannot grant the GA status for this article. Please go dig for more reliable sources and expand this article. Whenever the article is ready and it has fullfil all of the WP:WIAGA requirements, then the editors can renominate it again. As always, if editors feel disagree about my review here, then you can always ask for re-review. — Indon (reply) — 15:10, 21 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move

[edit]

I would like to move this page from Mark II to Mark II (radio telescope) to make it match Mark III (radio telescope) but, more to the point, to make room for the current Mark II page to become a disambiguation page where a number of articles are listed, ones about things that have been referred to as "Mark 2" or "Mark II". A series of such disambiguation pages now exist: Mark I, Mark III, Mark IV, Mark V, Mark VI, Mark VII, Mark VIII, etc. on up to Mark XV. Binksternet (talk) 06:05, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have no objections. Mike Peel (talk) 06:40, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I don't either; this is hardly primary usage for Mark II. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 18:10, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, folks, I'm moving it to Mark II (radio telescope). Thanks for not digging your collective heels in. Binksternet (talk) 18:21, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Wow, that was pretty involved. You folks have managed to put the Mark II on the map. There were links going every which way. :-) Binksternet (talk) 19:16, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
