GA Review

[edit]
GA review (see here for criteria)
  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose): b (MoS):
    The lead states that Hogan and Savage were teammates in the main event, then says that they "continued" their feud into Wrestlemania. These two statements are incongruous and lead to confusion. It is stated later on that they started a feud shortly after, not continued one.
     Done - Reworded Nikki311 16:53, 26 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    "As a result, both companies began bringing in hundreds of millions of dollars of revenue." (Development) - Wording; They did not continuously begin to bring in revenue.
     Done - Reworded. Nikki311 16:53, 26 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    "After performing slamming him to the mat, The Ultimate Warrior climbed to the top rope and landed stomach-first on The Honky Tonk Man, who was lying below him, by using his signature move, the Warrior Splash." (event) - The first part of this sentence makes no sense, while it is rather obvious that HTM would be below the Ultimate Warrior if he's jumping from the top rope. It is also mentioned in the lead that Ultimate warrior ended HTM's reign as the longest intercontinental champion in history, but not the body. It should be stated in this section as well.
     Done - Clarified the first part. The info about HTM's reign is in the article (the first sentence in the background). Do you think it should be listed in the event section too, or would that be too repetitive? Nikki311 20:03, 26 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    Under aftermath, the second paragraph is quite thin. Is there a synopsis of what happened with the Ultimate Warrior (as the third champion coming out of this event) in the wake of Summerslam? It strikes me that a newcomer who wins that fast would have gotten a pretty good push. This might be interesting info, if available.
     Done - Fleshed it out a bit. Nikki311 01:11, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
    Citation 8 is a dead link, probably moved by WWE. If you can't find it elsewhere on the WWE website, perhaps it will be found at at archive.org?
     Done - Replaced. Nikki311 23:45, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  3. It is broad in its coverage.
    a (major aspects): b (focused):
    Is there any information about TV audience/ratings that could be included?
     Done - I did happen to find the buyrate information, so I included that. Nikki311 01:53, 26 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  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:
    It is a pretty good article overall. A little bit of prose cleanup, and I think this is a good article. Regards, Resolute 23:33, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. I will let you know when I have completed everything. Nikki311 23:45, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Excellent work. I am now prepared to pass this as a GA. Congratulations! Resolute 03:19, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
