Good article nomination

[edit]

It appears as though article will not pass the GAC at this time (some issues, including sourcing). However, I have contributed to this article, and I am not fluent with the GA criteria, so someone for whom these two conditions are false should feel free to comment.

Coverage - the article is fairly superficial, it hardly mentions history, certainly nothing about the first decoration, who invented it, what company made it. Nothing about the market or size of market. The references are not quality references and would count as primary rather than secondary sources. GB 10:17, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Not comprehensive, unsourced major assertions ("Decorative computer peripherals have been around for a long time, however USB decorations are the most prominently used today.") and a lead that's too short. CloudNine 10:18, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  1. Some Style issues need to be resolved:

aren't - are not, bracketed bits should probably appear as separate sentences.

  1. Other missing bits inlcude technical information, such as how much power do these things use, are they detected by the computer, do they actually use USB protocol and power off when requested, is there a limit to the cable length, can they run off a hub?

It looks like Anonymous dissident beat me to the fail. It is not worth putting on hold as there is too much work to do. GB 11:03, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

GA Review

[edit]

I am sorry to inform you that I am failing this candidate, even though I want to ensure all contributors involved that you have done a good job. The reasons for the failing are:

  1. The length of the article is too short to be of GA standards. It needs major expansion.
  2. There are only five sources used. There needs to be at least a few more sources before this article can pass a GA.
  3. The lead needs expanding in particular.

If there are any questions about why this article has failed, or if there are any questions at all, I'd be glad to answer them if you forwarded them to my talk page. Thanks, and good luck! Anonymous DissidentTalk 10:20, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Source for name?

[edit]

Is there any source or citation which actually uses the term "USB decoration", besides this page? Frankly it sounds like a made-up term, that doesn't warrant an article at all. I don't dispute that there is a category of products that fit this definition. Rather I question who created this definition, and whether it represents any type of standard usage for this category of products. Does anyone know? Tim Bird (talk) 21:08, 29 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
