Wikipedia:Peer review/Headlamp/archive1

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  • I made a small contribution to this page a year or so ago and I have recently checked the article. Because the subject matter is familiar to many people, and yet there is a lot of interesting information that is not generally known, I think it would make a good Wikipedia:Featured Article. I have never nominated an article for FA status before, and so I am unsure whether this article is worthy. I think it is, but I am interested in input from others. The only deficiencies I noticed is some inconsistency regarding headlamp styling versus aerodynamics in the different desings. --Lenehey 15:21, 2 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
That's incredible. Two gripes, regarding pictures: one, it seems a bit Saab-heavy; and two, the flip-up headlamp pictures should be swapped, to give a better sense of motion. Other than that, I'm shocked that something so (seemingly) trivial can have so much work and research done on it. Bravo! Seegoon 17:13, 2 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • My gripe: the intro talks a tiny bit about personal headlamps used in mining and caving. The rest of the article doesn't really tlak about them. It's a bit too car-heavy. A picture of a mining headlamp would do wonders. --198.185.18.207 21:24, 2 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, it's not ready for FA yet—I have on my desk the immense stack of sources which for various not-very good reasons did not get cited when I was posting swaths of this article. I will add citations as rapidly as I am able. Good comment on the Saab-heaviness of the photos. I think non-automotive headlamp information would be a distraction in this already-large article; they should have their own article. --Scheinwerfermann 03:13, 6 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
