  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
  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 and other media, where possible and appropriate.
    a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
  7. Overall:
    Pass/Fail:

First glance it looks good but there are some areas where I think it requires some improvements before GA status.

  • "then-champion Samoa Joe", no need for then in there because he was champion at the time of the event. Same with LAX later in the intro
    • Fixed
  • "Victory Road is remembered for the closing of the 2008 TNA World X Cup Tournament." can we get a source for that in the intro?
    • Not really, just stating what happened at the event that was particularly memorable. Stating the obvious like a title change or a tournament.
  • "beheld", spacing
    • Fixed
  • link 2008 TNA World X Cup Tournament at first mention in the prose
    • I did, in the Background section.
  • "There were four teams each made up of four men, with each team representing a country" TNA is a country? Maybe something like a team representing TNA and three others representing a country
    • TNA always said their team represented the USA and that it was just called Team TNA to not sound confusing. In the past it was called Team USA. Changed anyway.
  • " Yoshino back-first onto the mat" Don't you mean pinned him?
    • He used his move first, then pinned him. It involves falling backwards. Shelley was laying on him afterwards so he could pin him as well.
  • Abyss is linked again in the Miscellaneous section, he only needs to be linked in the intro and first mention in prose
    • Fixed
  • "slamming his leg", a bit unclear as to what he did if you don't follow wrestling
    • Not really a way to make it clearer. He jumped off a 15 foot poll and did a leg drop on a dude hanging from cables. Dropped his leg sounds weird, hit Davari with his leg, etc.
  • Link "Willie Urbina"
    • No page exists.
  • "busted open", that's wrestling slang. I know what it means but others might not so reword and link it
    • Fixed
  • "flipping Sting off", again slang. "gave Sting The Finger" (or words to that effect) would be better
    • Fixed
  • If you're quoting wrestling slang, link it to the respective page so people not into wrestling understand
    • Fixed to the extent possible.
  • In the pictures, overlinking. If it comes after the first mention in prose, no need to link it again in the picture captions
    • I've always understood that photos are quick references and thus an exception to overlinking.

Sources are good and picture licences are fine. Fix these issues and i'll take another look. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 09:31, 8 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
