GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria
I am reading through the article and will do some minor copyediting as I go. I plan to finish the review by Wednesday. Cheers. Artoasis (talk) 15:20, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
- Is it reasonably well written?
- A. Prose quality:
- B. MoS compliance for lead, layout, words to watch, fiction, and lists:
- "Tactics used in this process include formal meetings, lectures, videos, printed materials, or computer-based orientations..." (and would be better here)
- "...because they have (a) a better understanding of their own needs and requirements at work and (b) are more familiar with what is acceptable in the work context." ((a) and (b) are unnecessary)
- "Fixed socialization provides a recruit with the exact knowledge of the time it will take complete a given passage." (...the time it will take to complete...)
- "...whether any given newcomer will be promoted to a higher level or not." (consider removing or not)
- "Ostroff and Kozlowski (1993) discovered that newcomers with mentors become more knowledgeable about the organization than did newcomers without mentors. ("did" unnecessary)
- "It makes logical sense that ... and unsurprisingly ... (consider removing "unsurprisingly" per WP:EDITORIAL)
- ...when they don't have formal onboarding assistance (do not)
- "This is one of ten steps executives can follow to accelerate their onboarding." (Is it really necessary to list the ten steps?)
- A. Prose quality:
- Is it factually accurate and verifiable?
- A. References to sources:
- Per WP:INTEGRITY, a source should be placed close to the material it supports. Several passages in the article, mainly in the "Organization socialization efforts" section, did not follow this rule. I suggest you refine your sources and attribute each paragraph to specific pages. The Van Maanen and Schein (1979) reference would be a good start.
- "Orientation sessions are a frequently used socialization tactic ... nor has any research provided any evidence for their benefits.[35][36][37][38][39]" (Also per WP:INTEGRITY, the five refs need clarification.)
- B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:
- The "Formal orientations" section is unsourced.
- C. No original research:
- A. References to sources:
- Is it broad in its coverage?
- A. Major aspects:
- B. Focused:
- A. Major aspects:
- Is it neutral?
- Fair representation without bias:
- Fair representation without bias:
- Is it stable?
- No edit wars, etc:
- No edit wars, etc:
- Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?
- A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:
- B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:
- A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:
- Overall:
- Pass or Fail:
- I will put the article on hold for now, but I believe it is in very good shape for GA. If you have any problem or need any assistance, you could leave your comments here or on my talk page. --Artoasis (talk) 06:00, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
