GA Review

[edit]

The article is quite good, though on this one I found a couple issues:

  • "Her total earnings on the racetrack were $32,836 ($267,806." <-- I tried fixing that but can't seem to figure out why it's showing like that.
Gary fixed it before I could, thanks Gary! Ealdgyth - Talk 14:42, 25 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • I assume the broodmare second paragraph all uses the same ref, hence just one at the end? (just making sure)
Yes, you are indeed correct. Ealdgyth - Talk 14:42, 25 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Barbara L's 1968 foal did not start a race" Is there a name for the foal?
There is, but it was actually a 1969 foal (typo that I've corrected). I threw the name in, but I was trying to avoid name overload a bit. This foal didn't do anything, and I'm not sure that she ever produced anything either. Anyway, name's in there now.

I'll put it on hold then pass when it's taken care of. Wizardman 02:22, 25 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think I might have fixed the first point. I noticed, though, that the infobox and "Racing career" sections give the total earnings as $32,836, but the lead gives a total of $32,834. GaryColemanFan (talk) 02:35, 25 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Official record gives 32,836. So I've standardized on that. (I suspect the 834 figure's from an article or something else.) Ealdgyth - Talk 14:42, 25 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Everything looks good now, so I'll pass the article. Wizardman 22:31, 25 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
