GA Review

This review is transcluded from Talk:Arrow (missile)/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

Hi! I'll be reviewing this article for GA status, and should have the full review up shortly.

GA review (see here for criteria)

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose): b (MoS):
In the lead, "drawing some debatable criticism." What is meant by "debatable criticism"? Please reword to make clearer. —— ("contested" looks better? Flayer (talk) 00:15, 9 October 2009 (UTC))[reply]

In the Arrow 1 subsection, it says "The Arrow 1 was reportedly a two stage solid propellant missile". Why "reportedly"? —— (no reason, removed. Flayer (talk) 00:15, 9 October 2009 (UTC))[reply]
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
Current ref #22 is to another Wikipedia page, which is not considered a reliable ref, especially when discussing "controversial performance" issues.
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:
It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Overall:
Pass/Fail:

This article looks really nice, but there are a couple of small issues that need to be addressed. Once these are taken care of, the article should be good to go for GA status. Please let me know if you have any questions. Dana boomer (talk) 23:49, 8 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you much, I've been waiting quite long for a GA Review! I'll change this ref #22 tomorrow. Flayer (talk) 00:15, 9 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed! Flayer (talk) 08:54, 9 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Everything looks good, so I'm going to pass this article to GA status. Nice work! Dana boomer (talk) 17:30, 9 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

missing references to MDA

This page lacks any reference to the U.S. Missile Defense Agency's role in the program (MDA oversees the U.S. funding for Arrow as part of its broader missile defense portfolio). This is a major oversight and should be corrected. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.35.35.34 (talk) 18:22, 20 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Corrected. Flayer (talk) 20:31, 21 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
