GA Review
[edit]GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria
This article is in decent shape, but it needs more work before it becomes a Good Article.
- Is it well written?
- A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:
- Well done.
- B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:
- In the Development section, it would be best to link "Avi Arad" once, per here. The article tends to have "red links", if they don't have articles, it would be best to un-link them, per here.
- Half-check. Tell me, do the red links in the article link to anything? -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 16:05, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
- Unlinked Morningside Park in Filming. While my philosophy is to let red links lie around to give someone else to prompt them to create an article, I don't think that park will ever deserve one. Alientraveller (talk) 08:52, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
- That's very true, but I'm just going with the MoS. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 17:48, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

- A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:
- Is it verifiable with no original research, as shown by a source spot-check?
- A. It contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline:
- B. Reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose):
- Reference 58 is missing publishing info. Does Reference 41 cover all this ---> "Producer Gale Anne Hurd acknowledged the Hulk, being green, was a popular environmental analogy, and Norton himself was an environmentalist. Hybrid and fuel efficient vehicles were used, with low sulfur diesel as their energy source. The construction department used a sustainably harvested, locally sourced yellow pine instead of lauan for the sets, and also used zero-or low-VOC paint. The wood was generally recycled or given to environmental organizations, and paint cans were handed to waste management. In addition, they used; cloth bags; biodegradable food containers; china and silverware food utensils; a stainless steel mug for each production crew member; a contractor who removed bins; recycled paper; biodegradable soap and cleaners in the trailers and production offices; and the sound department used rechargeable batteries"? In the Marketing section, does Reference 55 cover this ---> "Universal and its promotional partners have tried to position The Incredible Hulk as a franchise reboot similar to Batman Begins"? If not, a source is needed for that statement.
- 'Nother half-check. Is there a source available for the last sentence in the Box office section? -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 16:05, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
- All the article needs, a source for the this ---> "As of June 26, 2008, The Incredible Hulk has grossed $115,037,960 in the United States and Canada, as well as $201,124,524 worldwide". -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 17:48, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Reference 58's information wasn't worth of inclusion: glowing action figures, we're not a depository. And yes, References 41 and 55 do cover all that. I also didn't realise Arad had been overlinked in Development, I fixed that. Alientraveller (talk) 08:50, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

With that being said, congratulations, you know have a GA in your midst. ;) -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 11:05, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
