Augustin Pyramus de Candolle - GA review

Hi, C1ock122. I've got some comments at Talk:Augustin Pyramus de Candolle/GA1, and would like see what you think before adding further comments. --Philcha (talk) 23:19, 27 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

PS if you are going to anything in your User page User:C1ock122, it would be a good idea to redirct you User page to your Talk page. --Philcha (talk) 23:19, 27 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

PPS welcome to Wikipedia! --Philcha (talk) 23:19, 27 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for reviewing! I glanced over your comments, and they look fair. I'm swamped with a few other things, so I won't get dedicated time for the GAN until Tuesday...I'll try to chip away when I find free time before then though. Feel free to add more comments. Thanks again! C1ock122 (talk) 01:29, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, C1ock122. I realised I'd seen not responses at Talk:Augustin Pyramus de Candolle/GA1. But when I looked at the article's history, you've done a fair amount of work, but not put matching responses at the GA review. In a GA review, changes on the GA review appear in the reviewer's watchlist but changes to the article don't. So please put a response after each comment where you've changed the article or where you see a problem. Then the reviewer can see what's been done and also which comments have not yet have responses. --Philcha (talk) 21:19, 1 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The other edits are from my classmates; the usernames differ by the number at the end. The class has wrapped up the Wikipedia portion, so it'll be more or less stable now. I'll make sure to respond at the GA page once I think I've addressed an issue. I thought I'd get to the GAN today, but I was catching up on other work. I will start on the GAN within the next couple of days. Sorry for the delay. C1ock122 (talk) 06:06, 4 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, C1ock122. I've passed Augustin Pyramus de Candolle as a Good Article - and I've enjoyed the article! Please pass on my congratulations to your classmates who contributed. --Philcha (talk) 09:23, 18 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If you are thinking for going for going for Featured Article status, I think you'd need to improved the writing, which is tricky for science-based subjects, as most FA reviewers are most accustomed to arts and literature topics. In this case I'd suggest Wikipedia:Peer review - but remind anyone who asks that in science writing clarity and conciseness are the priority. You'd also need to check the Featured Article criterion "a thorough and representative survey of the relevant literature", although on your performance so far that should be no great problems for you. --Philcha (talk) 09:23, 18 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Whatever you do, good luck! --Philcha (talk) 09:23, 18 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Excellent, thank you! At this point we're not going for FA, though there's a small chance that might change at some point. Again, thanks for teaching me new things about Wikipedia, and thanks for reviewing! C1ock122 (talk) 13:20, 18 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
