Hello, I am planning on reviewing this article for GA Status, over the next couple of days. Thank you for nominating the article for GA status. I hope I will learn some new information, and that my feedback is helpful.

If nominators or editors could refrain from updating the particular section that I am updating until it is complete, I would appreciate it to remove a edit conflict. Please address concerns in the section that has been completed above (If I've raised concerns up to references, feel free to comment on things like the lede.)

I generally provide an overview of things I read through the article on a first glance. Then do a thorough sweep of the article after the feedback is addressed. After this, I will present the pass/failure. I will use strikethrough tags when concerns are met. Even if something is obvious why my concern is met, please leave a message as courtesy.

Best of luck! you can also use the {{done}} tag to state when something is addressed. Lee Vilenski (talkcontribs)

Please let me know after the review is done, if you were happy with the review! Obviously this is regarding the article's quality, however, I want to be happy and civil to all, so let me know if I have done a good job, regardless of the article's outcome.

  • Automated note - If you fancy returning the favour, I have outstanding GA nominations that require reviewing at WP:GAN. I'd be very grateful if you were to complete one of these, however it's definately not manditory. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talkcontribs)
  • So, from a quick skim, there's quite a lot above. The main ones are:
  • Ref fixes - There seems to be some confusion here as to what a reference and what a note is. This needs to be rearranged.
  • Image captions and tables - There's potentially too many images regardless... But there does need to be a fix to a lot of the captions, which aren't great
  • Citing in general. There's lots of statements that have no citations. At least if they are at the end of the paragraphs it could mean it is citing the whole paragraph.

I'll put this on hold. I'll give it a couple days, and see if enough has changed for a full review. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talkcontribs) 16:33, 23 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Lee Vilenski: Thanks a lot for your comments, you noticed a lot that I've missed. I'll see what I can do to fix these issues. --Cerebellum (talk) 21:57, 23 September 2019 (UTC)--Cerebellum (talk) 21:57, 23 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Lee Vilenski: On second thought, this will take me more than a week. I recommend failing the article, and I'll resubmit when ready. (I'll review one of your articles, do you care which one?) --Cerebellum (talk) 22:40, 23 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I thought I'd leave it open for you to reply. I agree this one isn't quite at the right level (specifically the way some of it is uncited is a big issue, and fixing how the references look could take some time.), so I could have failed it, but I wanted to leave it open in case you thought you were up to the task. I'll close this one as failed.
I think I have three (maybe?) articles nominated at this time - I must get around to promoting more content, it hasn't been easy recently - although once it's copy-edited, I'm nominating Snooker, and the 1985 World Snooker Championship. Take your pick from any unreviewed. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talkcontribs) 06:58, 24 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
