Reviewer: BrandonWu (talk · contribs) 01:10, 8 May 2014 (UTC) This article should be interesting! I will try and finish this article within a 7 day time frame, if you don't mind Dom! (I see that Dom is currently on a wikibreak, so I will not start the review until he is off his break, and I will not be like myself most of the time, quickfailing the article if the nominator doesn't address the comments I make within 7 days) WooHoo! • Talk to me! 01:10, 8 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Review

GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

Is it reasonably well written?
A. Prose is "clear and concise", without copyvios, or spelling and grammar errors:
I will begin a separate prose review.

B. MoS compliance for lead, layout, words to watch, fiction, and lists:
Lead could be longer, but it looks good for GA.
Is it factually accurate and verifiable?
A. Has an appropriate reference section:

B. Citation to reliable sources where necessary:

C. No original research:
Is it broad in its coverage?
A. Major aspects:
Good job!

B. Focused:
Fantastic!
Is it neutral?
Fair representation without bias:
No bias because its a roller coaster :P.
Is it stable?
No edit wars, etc:
Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?
A. Images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid fair use rationales are provided for non-free content:

B. Images are provided if possible and are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions:
~~Unfortunately, there is only 1 image, so I can't pass this criteria.~~

Sorry, rushed through the review. 1 image is okay, as even only no images is okay as of this page.

Overall:
Pass or Fail:
~~See below for a source and prose review.~~ Passed! Great job!

Prose Review

Lead

Could be a bit longer, but it seems good for GA.

History

Good job!

Ride experience

"Once the train is loaded and secured, the steel floor separates drops and the gate in front of the train opens."

Is it supposed to be "...the steel floor separates and drops..." or something else, because I unfortunately know nothing about roller coasters. :P

"The train then makes a banked turn the left leading into the first of the interlocking corkscrews. After a banked to the right and slight turn to the left, the train goes through the second corkscrew."

Shouldn't this be "...the train then makes a banked turn to the left..." and "After a banked turn to the right..."

Characteristics

Good job!

Reception

Looks good, but is there any awards like on this page?

Nope, roller coaster is brand new so it has not been ranked yet.--Dom497 (talk) 03:09, 17 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Overall great job!

Source Review

After spotchecking the sources, they are good on my terms.

The only worry I have is the YouTube video, as per Wikipedia:YOUTUBE#Linking_to_user-submitted_video_sites, they should be in an External Links section, not a reference. WooHoo! • Talk to me! 01:38, 23 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Per the first two paragraphs under the "References" section here, YouTube videos can be used a references case-by-case. Videos by Theme Park Review are generally reliable because all he does is sticks a camera on the roller coaster and records...nothing unreliable about that! You should also take note that almost all roller coaster GA's use YouTube as a reference for the purpose on describing the layout (as well as RCDB). YouTube is even included in a Featured Article, SheiKra.--Dom497 (talk) 11:19, 23 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Okay! Will pass the article in about 2 or so hours! Great job on the article! WooHoo! • Talk to me! 22:21, 23 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

@BrandonWu: Ok, I understand that your fresh out of the gates with GA reviews so I'll help you out a bit. I'm going to recommend you read this essay as it will really help create an understanding for what the criteria is and what it isn't. In this case, criteria 6b should be a pass. Just because there is one picture, it doesn't mean the article can't become a GA. An article with NO photos can still be promoted to GA. As long as someone has made an attempt to find pictures (searching for pictures under a free license) it's a pass.--Dom497 (talk) 23:25, 14 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Dom497:Oh, I'm sorry. I was rushing to write this as I was on the bus to school :P. WooHoo! • Talk to me! 01:25, 16 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Just remember not review article's half fast (You can review articles on the bus just make sure to do it like you've been trained). It will only get you into trouble down the road. As long as you take your time and review the article properly, everyone will love you. :P --Dom497 (talk) 11:15, 16 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comments addressed. :) --Dom497 (talk) 03:05, 17 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry I've been busy in real life studying for tests and taking tests (I'm in Grade 7), so I haven't done much work on this review. Hopefully I'll continue with the source review on Thursday/Friday. WooHoo! • Talk to me! 21:46, 20 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

No worries. :) --Dom497 (talk) 00:59, 22 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
