GA Reassessment
[edit]Article (edit | visual edit | history) · Article talk (edit | history) · Watch
This article most notably fails section 1(b) by having numerous short sections and long lists, and is weak on 2(c) with 59 out of 143 citations self-sourced. I believe we should remove the version history section as being redundant with the separate article as another editor has already suggested, and improve content/sourcing as needed. I have worked on the OpenBSD article including leading a WP:FAR, and want to get a common consensus for how BSD articles should look. Tonystewart14 (talk) 01:21, 9 April 2020 (UTC)
- I agree, the article needs some improvement. Fixing 1b should be straightforward. 2c Can be improved by changing version history table. I don't think it should be fully removed, but maybe simplified to only contain the major releases and significant changes between them:
Version history version major version release date changes 1.x release date everything what happened between 1.0 and 2.0 2.x release date everything what happened between 2.0 and 3.0
- With link to article with full version history, it shouldn't be confusing and seems to be consistent with WP:NOTCHANGELOG. I also believe that the article goes into too much detail while describing some features, like in FreeBSD#Virtualization. It gives it unnecessary attention. The subsection in question has more content than the main article about the subject. – K4rolB (talk) 09:42, 11 April 2020 (UTC)
