Uranus

[edit]

I dread to ask, what is needed before this article can get an FA nom? Serendipodous 10:13, 28 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • The composition section makes no mention of ammonia, which may form part of the lower cloud layers and be dissolved in the liquid water layer.[1] Otherwise the article seemed fine to me, with perhaps a few minor tweaks needed here and there. — RJH (talk) 20:00, 30 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

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.

  • The lead of this article may be too long, or may contain too many paragraphs. Please follow guidelines at WP:LEAD; be aware that the lead should adequately summarize the article.[?]

 Done Well, I've condensed two paragraphs. Serendipodous 17:53, 29 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • The lead is for summarizing the rest of the article, and should not introduce new topics not discussed in the rest of the article, as per WP:LEAD. Please ensure that the lead adequately summarizes the article.[?]

 Done I've removed some info and placed it in visibility. Serendipodous 17:53, 29 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

 Done Serendipodous 17:53, 29 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (numbers), there should be a non-breaking space -   between a number and the unit of measurement. For example, instead of 500 kilometers, use 500 kilometers, which when you are editing the page, should look like: 500 kilometers.[?]

 Done At least as far as I can tell. Serendipodous 17:53, 29 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

 Done Serendipodous 17:53, 29 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That's a quote. Serendipodous 17:53, 29 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • There are a few occurrences of weasel words in this article- please observe WP:AWT. Certain phrases should specify exactly who supports, considers, believes, etc., such a view.
    • it has been
    • might be weasel words, and should be provided with proper citations (if they already do, or are not weasel terms, please strike this comment).[?]

I'm not sure where they are. Serendipodous 18:26, 29 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Please make the spelling of English words consistent with either American or British spelling, depending upon the subject of the article. Examples include: honour (B) (American: honor), meter (A) (British: metre), recognise (B) (American: recognize), ization (A) (British: isation), analyze (A) (British: analyse), travelled (B) (American: traveled), grey (B) (American: gray).

 Done Took a while. Serendipodous 18:24, 29 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

2nd Automated Peer Review

[edit]

Well done for managing to cover the above. I did the automated peer review again, and these are the results that come back:

  • The lead of this article may be too long, or may contain too many paragraphs. Please follow guidelines at WP:LEAD; be aware that the lead should adequately summarize the article.[?]

I can't make the lead any shorter without removing paragraphs. Serendipodous 11:28, 30 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • The lead is for summarizing the rest of the article, and should not introduce new topics not discussed in the rest of the article, as per WP:LEAD. Please ensure that the lead adequately summarizes the article.[?]

There is no information in the lead that isn't mentioned somewhere else in the article. Serendipodous 11:28, 30 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (numbers), there should be a non-breaking space -   between a number and the unit of measurement. For example, instead of 720 kilometres, use 720 kilometres, which when you are editing the page, should look like: 720 kilometres.[?]

It would help if the program could tell me where they are. Serendipodous 11:28, 30 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Where are the unstandard abbreviations? Serendipodous 11:28, 30 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

As far as I can tell, all the years with full dates are linked. Serendipodous 11:28, 30 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That's in a quote. Shouldn't this program ignore sections in quotes? Serendipodous 11:28, 30 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • There are a few occurrences of weasel words in this article- please observe WP:AWT. Certain phrases should specify exactly who supports, considers, believes, etc., such a view.
    • it has been
    • might be weasel words, and should be provided with proper citations (if they already do, or are not weasel terms, please strike this comment).[?]

Again, please tell me where they are, and I'll get rid of them. Serendipodous 11:28, 30 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Please make the spelling of English words consistent with either American or British spelling, depending upon the subject of the article. Examples include: honour (B) (American: honor), meter (A) (British: metre), metre (B) (American: meter), recognise (B) (American: recognize), ization (A) (British: isation), analyze (A) (British: analyse), travelled (B) (American: traveled), grey (B) (American: gray).

I have gone through this article four times with a British spell checker and there are no US English flags. Serendipodous 11:28, 30 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • As done in WP:FOOTNOTE, footnotes usually are located right after a punctuation mark (as recommended by the CMS, but not mandatory), such that there is no space in between. For example, the sun is larger than the moon [2]. is usually written as the sun is larger than the moon.[2][?]

I've gone through the article and I can't find any examples of that. EDIT: Found an extra full stop. Serendipodous 11:33, 30 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hope this helps you further better the article. Thanks, Davnel03 20:57, 29 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
