• Featured list candidates/List of Mercedes-EQ vehicles/archive1

Nominator(s): 750h+ 17:25, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

This is my first featured list nomination. This is a list of all the Mercedes-EQ models, including the production and concept models. If this gets promoted, it will be the first automobile featured list. Thanks, and enjoy the read! 750h+ 17:25, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

Hey man im josh

I'll do a larger review later on, but for now I want to point out some accessibility issues.

• You used ! rowspan="1" when you should have used ! scope="row". For instances where a row span would only be 1, do not use the rowspan parameter. For instances where you do need to specify a rowspan, you would do ! scope="rowgroup" rowspan="2".
• Add column scopes
• Tables needs a title

Again, I'll be back to a larger review later on. Hey man im josh (talk) 17:35, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

those should be addressed now 750h+ 17:51, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

Much thanks for the review! 750h+ 15:15, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

Commentd

• "which was to be launched a few years later" - a bit vague....?
• There's three consecutive sentences that basically all start "They unveiled...." - any chance you can vary this a bit?
• "produced several concept cars, such include" - wording's a bit mangled here, I think
• The headings that include "(cal. year)" look a little odd. Why not just "(year)"?
• Is "SIP" a standard/well-known abbreviation in the motor trade? If not, I would write it in full or even use a {{N/A}} template -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 18:55, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

  All have been addressed. Thanks for reviewing! 750h+ 02:47, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

Comments from Steelkamp

• Should the last sentence of the lead have a reference?

added

• Is it necessary to include "where various other electric cars—including the Opel Ampera-e and a redesigned Renault Zoe—debuted"? This article should really be focusing on Mercedes-EQ, and not feature unrelated cars prominently in the lead.

removed

• Why does the concept vehicles table not have a body style row?

I couldn't find any good references for some of the classes, so I just didn't add them

• Some websites in the citations aren't wikilinked. E.g. two instances of CNET and three instances of The Verge. There might be some others I haven't noticed.

added

• Specifying a px size for images should generally not be done as per MOS:IMGSIZE. It's fine for the images in the table (which is given as an exception in MOS:IMGSIZE), but for the lead image, the fixed px size (340px) should be replaced with upright=1.5.

done

That's all. Steelkamp (talk) 08:48, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

All have been addressed. Thanks for the review, @Steelkamp:. 750h+ 10:21, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

Thank you so much! 750h+ 15:01, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

@FLC director and delegates: hope this isn't bugging but will there be an image review? 750h+ 05:33, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

Featured list candidates don't strictly need an image review, unlike FAC, although someone can do an image review if they so choose. (not a FLC director or delegate) Steelkamp (talk) 11:44, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

Oh ok. 750h+ 12:35, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

That said, this is pretty image-heavy in an area that I'm not well familiar with, so I'd prefer one. The reason it's not "required" is due to a lack of people actually doing them. I'd give this a pass on the image review though- all commons, all self-uploads by... 3 people? Looks like a whole world of car photography I didn't know we had people doing. --PresN 22:47, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for the pass! 750h+ 23:47, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
