I'd like to introduce myself before I write this review. I'm an undergraduate religious scholar interested in how people make "illegitimate" religions legitimate, and I'm writing a thesis on a case study in this particular field. That being said:
- It is reasonably well written.
- a (prose):
b (MoS):
- This is written like a parody of a Wikipedia article. I could see it as a GA on Uncyclopedia, maybe. It's a list of statements made by unknown individuals ("some Jedi", "About.com")
- a (prose):
- It is factually accurate and verifiable.
- a (references):
b (citations to reliable sources):
c (OR):
- The sourcing of this article is terrible. I don't know what you were thinking putting it up for GA review at this stage. You cite an Internet forum. Are you trying to play a trick on me?
- a (references):
- It is broad in its coverage.
- a (major aspects):
b (focused):
- Insofar as individual forum posters on the Internet have mused about the meaning of this religion, I will give you the benefit of the doubt and say you have accurately summarized the extent of their ponderings. I cannot say that you have come to a reliable consensus about Jediism in any way whatsoever.
- a (major aspects):
- It follows the neutral point of view policy.
- Fair representation without bias:
- Why is one of the articles cited as "The bad publicity given by the BBC"? The sentence which cited this article is blatant OR. Unless if a more reliable source attests that the BBC is biased, then the BBC must be used to show that Jediism is a humorous parody religion.
- Fair representation without bias:
- It is stable.
- No edit wars, etc.:
- No edit wars, etc.:
- 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):
- What the hell is this Jediism "logo"? According to who is it the official logo? I'm twice as skeptical about this as I would be if I saw a "logo" at the top of the Atheism article, because you don't even have a cite for it. The image caption page says that it belongs to the Church of Jediism. Who runs that church and how do they speak for all Jedi?
- a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales):
- Overall:
- Pass/Fail:
- Please come back in the next few days with a promise to completely rewrite this article or else I'll delist it.
- Pass/Fail:
P.S. My favorite part was when you unironically cited The Sun.
