Wikipedia:Peer review/Lewis Hamilton/archive1
This article underwent a peer review a couple of months ago, resulting in its promotion to GA. I'm looking for assistance from experienced editors as to what further needs to be done in order to achieve FA status. Specific areas of concern are:
- The length of the lead section. During GA myself and other regular contributors reached consensus that the lead was of acceptable length for the overall article's length, whilst the reviewer commented that it "would need be doubled or tripled in length to reach FA." Specifically are there any areas that appear to be sparsely covered in the lead, or any topics which should be given an extra sentence or two?
* Stability. A quick glance at the edit history would seem to suggest that the article is unstable. However the high volume of edits immediately after a Grand Prix are necessary to ensure that recent events (i.e. the last race) are covered in the same manner as the rest of the article and not given undue weight.
Resolved, subject to a current event template being added to this page during grand prix weekends and a thorough check of the prose afterwards.
- Reliability of a specific source: see recent edit history and talk page relating to the f1fanatic site.
Please feel free to make additional comments and suggestions on any other areas of the article.
Thanks in advance. BeL1EveR 00:29, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
Automated Peer Review
[edit]The following suggestions were generated by a semi-automatic javascript program, and might not be applicable for the article in question.
- Please expand the lead to conform with guidelines at Wikipedia:Lead. The article should have an appropriate number of paragraphs as is shown on WP:LEAD, and should adequately summarize the article.[?]
Not Done. Agree that this needs to be done, will make an attempt later this evening. Further suggestions as to what is required welcome.
*Per Wikipedia:Context and Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates), months and days of the week generally should not be linked. Years, decades, and centuries can be linked if they provide context for the article.[?]
Done. As per this section, this article either conforms to the agreed standard, or there is no consensus objecting to the date linking currently applied. BeL1EveR 20:59, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
*Per Wikipedia:What is a featured article?, Images should have concise captions.[?]
*There may be an applicable infobox for this article. For example, see Template:Infobox Biography, Template:Infobox School, or Template:Infobox City.[?] (Note that there might not be an applicable infobox; remember that these suggestions are not generated manually)
- Done already BeL1EveR 20:59, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
*If this article is about a person, please add
{{persondata|PLEASE SEE [[WP:PDATA]]!}} along with the required parameters to the article - see Wikipedia:Persondata for more information.[?]
*Per Wikipedia:Context and Wikipedia:Build the web, years with full dates should be linked; for example, link January 15, 2006.[?]
- Done already. BeL1EveR 20:59, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
*The script has spotted the following contractions: don't, won't, if these are outside of quotations, they should be expanded.
- Believe to be done. The only instances I could find of these contractions were within <!-- ... --> tags, and are both appropriate and necessary. BeL1EveR 20:59, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
- Please ensure that the article has gone through a thorough copyediting so that it exemplifies some of Wikipedia's best work. See also User:Tony1/How to satisfy Criterion 1a.[?]
- You may wish to browse through User:AndyZ/Suggestions for further ideas. Thanks, Davnel03 20:52, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
- Not Fully Done. I think the prose is of a good standard. However in response I will give article a thorough copyedit after the Hungarian Grand Prix and attempt to reduce redundant terms. I shall leave it for now as there is a grand prix weekend approaching and it would be more prudent to wait until the page is no longer documenting a current event. Thanks for the response!

Due to a number of factors, but primarily unforseen circumstances in the last race, some of these points will need to be put on hold until consensus is reached on how his F1 career should be covered. BeL1EveR 01:07, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
