I am nominating this for featured article because...because I'd like to get it to FA status. This is the third nomination for this article, mainly because it hasn't gotten that many reviews in the past and no supports nor opposes.--WillC 00:55, 4 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Source review - spotchecks not done. Nikkimaria (talk) 03:07, 4 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • What makes this a high-quality reliable source?
  • Check for minor inconsistencies like doubled periods
  • What is the editorial policy of this site?
  • No need to have complete bibliographic info in both footnotes and bibliography
  • Don't repeat cited sources in External links. Nikkimaria (talk) 03:07, 4 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Haven't I went through this with the past two reviews? Nothing has changed since.--WillC 08:01, 4 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Images look fine; most are free, the lead image is non-free but seems appropriate. J Milburn (talk) 20:27, 4 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Copyscape review - No issues were revealed by Copyscape searches. Graham Colm (talk) 17:11, 6 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Just noting that I'll give this article a prose review tomorrow. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 21:47, 22 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • Good, I'm glad. Been wanting one badly.--WillC 13:48, 23 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Here's what I found:

  • "but TNA moved the event to November in late 2008, for an unknown reason." this comma doesn't seem necessary.
  • "Another featured match was Kevin Nash versus Samoa Joe, which Nash won. Kurt Angle defeated Abyss in a Falls Count Anywhere match." combining these two sentences into one, since both were featured matches, would help the article flow better.
  • "Sting then defeated Joe, an ally of Styles'," I don't think the apostrophe is needed there since it's not possessive.
  • "Hall has a history to not show up to events for either being intoxicated on drugs or on alcohol." while true perhaps, can it be reworded? Have it start with "Hall has a history of not showing up for..." and I could see others being iffy on the sentence, though it's ok for me.
    • Done, cut it up some.--WillC 06:10, 24 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • "A tag team match between the teams of Roxxi and Taylor Wilde and Awesome Kong and Raisha Saeed," clarify which two teams were against each other a bit better (i.e. ..Wilde against Awesome..)
  • "good drama", "with a big game veteran vs. a big game "Young Lion" in a compelling match-up. Joe losing should be treated as a huge deal with proper follow-up to move Joe up to the next level. If he's losing, it needs to mean something for his overall growth." Could the quotes be combined, since it seems like they are already.
    • Its actually two different quotes, so I separated them a bit more.--WillC 06:10, 24 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Not too much to fix, the prose is solid enough as can be expected without getting repetitive. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 02:45, 24 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
