GA review (see here for criteria)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

   fails lead. Lead should be at least three concise paragraphs, summerising the article.

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

   Since half the references are in Korean I'm going to have to assume good faith.

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

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):

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

When did Korea start its high speed project

Already before HSR-350x was finished Should be before then HSR

Links to techie words or explaination needed. Should have links all over the place here to be fair. Hardly any techie words explained

only pressure isolation as in the KTX-I. Need was requiered or something at the end

The view that shorter trains have to be added to the KTX rolling stock for operational flexibility was reinforced by the actual Honam KTX seat occupation trends after the launch of KTX services on April 1, 2004 with the 20-car KTX-I trains. Stupidly long sentence and seems to be quiet a bit of POV within it.m rephrasing needed.

In October 2005, however, Korail called competitive bids. Who. This has not been explained nor is the oraginsation/person linked, they haven't been mentioned before

Hyundai Rotem also offered the KTX-II in the competition to supply rolling stock for Brazil's Rio–São Paulo project.[22]. Merge can't have one sentence paragraph

After a naming competition held in the next ten days,. Over the next 10 days

Since the first reviewer was indef-blocked, I'll review this and will post my comments shortly. Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 15:57, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

Aside from the issues above which haven't been resolved,, I found these issues:

• "To increase the domestic added value," of? that's a bit confusing as written
• "the carbody of intermediate cars is made of aluminum" it could probably just say "the body of.."
• All refs in Korean need to be noted as such. Many are but some are not.

As a result of the findings combined with it being a week without work done, I am failing the article as a GA. It can be re-nominated when all issues are fixed. Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 03:13, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
