GA review (see here for criteria)
  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose): b (MoS):
    I'll do a huge copy edit to tweak some of the wording, since a first read through is fine. I believe I can do them because they are extremely minor stylistic/grammatical issues.
    Tweak of infobox & lead (please fact-check the infobox-I got the info from the prose)
    Fixes to "service" section
    Finish copyedit
  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
    Checklinks clean. After reading, I could only find a claim to Color being the first low-cost airline once; the first sentence in the lead. I might have overlooked it, but it should be mentioned in the "Establishment" section as well, with a ref. Otherwise, suitably referenced.
  3. It is broad in its coverage.
    a (major aspects): b (focused):
    Great
  4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.
    Fair representation without bias:
    OK
  5. It is stable.
    No edit wars, etc.:
    OK
  6. 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):
    I like the images :). The only problem is that File:Color Air Logo.png does not contain non-free use rationale, which can be found at WP:FUG.
  7. Overall:
    Pass/Fail:
Additional comments

An enjoyable read. Placing on hold for the two issues (regarding logo and claim to be first low cost Norwegian airline) to be addressed. Airplaneman 20:20, 4 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the review, and not least the extra effort of copyediting; some times articles just don't end up all that well written. The logo has been rationalized [sic]. Imagine—we could get away with those types of fair use rationales a few years ago. I've also found an existing source which claims the article to be the first low-cost carrier, so I added a sentence there. Arsenikk (talk) 09:50, 5 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Alright; looks good, will pass! Airplaneman 21:35, 5 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
