Samsung Ativ Tab

(

)

... that the U.S. release of the Samsung Ativ Tab was cancelled due to concerns surrounding the marketability of its Windows RT operating system?

- Article and hook meet all the criteria. James086^Talk 17:01, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

I started reading this article to find out more, and discovered that the second paragraph of the intro ends in the middle of a sentence. The article can't be approved in that state. For me, though, the real problem is that the article is unclear as to whether this device has been released anywhere, and the UK delay, said (in the source) to be from mid-November to mid-December, means that the device was either released over a month ago, or it has been delayed again (or cancelled there too). This needs to be clarified. BlueMoonset (talk) 01:57, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

I tried to fix it to the best I could. How they released it seemed very, let's just say, under the rug. It almost seems like they don't want people to even know it even exists. ViperSnake151 Talk 02:32, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

In its current state I think it's acceptable. Also FWIW the half-sentence wasn't in the article when I approved it (as it was when I passed it). James086^Talk 12:32, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

Odd edits are our bane, when a perfectly good article is rendered problematic by an odd half-sentence addition. Sorry that happened to you here. There's still a bit more work to do: the intro still states that this is an upcoming device, while the body has more recent info. Please have the intro updated with the release status: December 14 in the UK, and cancelled in the US. (Also, I'd take that parenthetical remark out of the intro: it's not good encyclopedic style. I think that detail can be left for the body of the article.) Once that is done, I think this nomination be ready for approval. BlueMoonset (talk) 04:10, 28 January 2013 (UTC)

Looks more or less good to go now. Tick based on above review. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:08, 31 January 2013 (UTC)
