Template:Maintained Template:0.5 held

Failed GA

The promo pic tag on the main picture is inappropriate - the photo is a commercial product, not a promotional picture. The second picture seems a little dodgy in its fair use claim - how is this any different from recycling the content taken straight from a new site to illustrate articles, for instance? The fact that no specific fair use template is available ought to be ringing alarm bells. However, the article is well-referenced and well-structured, which is a very good start. Please address the comments here, in peer review, and in FAC (some very helpful ones there!), and then renominate it! TheGrappler 03:50, 4 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Now that the pics are removed, should their captions go too? TheGrappler 18:19, 7 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. --Cholmes75 19:08, 7 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Failed GA (2nd)

I've failed the article again, mostly because it fails two criteria for GA:

It has compelling prose, and is readily comprehensible to a non-specialist reader: the text needs a general copyedit, and it is too dependent on the reader knowing details from outside, particularily in the College section. This was brought up on the FAC, and has not been addressed.
It is broad in its coverage: it is missing significant amount of information about the controversy following the Darryl Stingley incident, to the point where it almost seems whitewashed.

Overall, the article is almost good, but is still missing a little bit. Tito xd^{(?!? - help us)} 01:34, 22 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I fixed the college section some, and I added as much infomation about the Stingley controversy in the article. I don't get the almost seems whitewashed Part. I think it's good now. Thanks Jaranda ^{wat's sup} 17:41, 22 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

GA?

Did this article actually pass the GA review? or did someone just add the {{GA}} tag? Isn't the reviewer supposed to add another section which confirms GA status? --ShadowJester07 23:44, 9 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Bias

This article is biased. Only a Raiders fan would refer to the Immaculate Reception as "notorious".
