Talk:Rock Lee/GA1

I currently see two problems with this article (1b and 6, specifically) that keep it from meeting the GA criteria, but they're relatively minor fixes, so I'm putting the page on hold.

First, the article would currently be difficult for an outsider to the subject to understand. Series jargon, especially when placed it in the lead section, it should be explained in more universally applicable context where possible. A few that jumped out at me would be "Lee has dedicated himself to using solely taijutsu in battle" (Wouldn't "physical combat" or "martial arts" be a more accessible way of phrasing it for the lead?) Similarly, in the abilities section, "two types of techniques ninja utilize." would be better worded in a manner that made it clear you are speaking of Naruto's ninjas, not real ones, and in the synopsis section describing Tsunade as a surgeon or medical ninja rather than just "a Konohagakure ninja" would make it clearer why she's able to heal him. Lastly, reference number 38 appears to contradict the text that follows it: the reference is to a popularity poll from 2008, but the page then says no popularity polls have run since 2006? One of these is wrong, or at least very unclear.

Second, image usage. I do not believe Image:LeeClashofNinja.jpg meets the WP:NFCC guideline, as it does nothing but illustrate Lee's appearance in the game. Since Lee's appearance is not substantially different in the games than it is in the rest of the franchise, it fails criteria 8, as it does not "significantly increase readers' understanding of the topic." (A more minor note is that the image caption in the infobox is slightly inaccurate, since that picture is not drawn by Kishimoto, but that's a technicality.)

Good work otherwise though. Drop me a line once you've finished making those fixes. --erachima talk 06:23, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Think I've nailed everything. FYI, you're supposed to create a subpage for the GA review, which I did for you here. sephiroth bcr ^(converse) 06:53, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, looks better now, article passed. --erachima talk 15:43, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
