GA Review

[edit]
This review is transcluded from Talk:Waking Up the Neighbours/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

This article is in decent shape, but it needs more work before it becomes a Good Article.

  1. Is it well written?
    A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:
    In the Songs section, it would be best if the short sentences be combined together in a paragraph, as the short sentences look dull in the article. In the Canadian content section, add a period after this sentence ---> "The album made much controversy in Canada concerning the system of Canadian Content". Done
    Check. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 18:57, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:
    In the Recording and production section, it would be best to link "Kamen" to ---> "Michael Kamen", I mean I was wondering who "Kamen" was, until I read the source. Also, this would help out a reader who reads this article. Same section, link "Beauty in the Beast" and if your talking about the film, italicize per here, but if your talking about the theme leave it with quotations. Same section, it would be best to introduce names first instead of introducing them afterwards; Link "Robert John "Mutt" Lange" after the mention of Adams in the first paragraph, do the same with "Michael Kamen" introduce the full name first and then add the last name afterwards. Same section, link "Kevin Costner" and italicize "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves". In the Songs section, it would be best if "(Everything I Do) I Do It for You", "Bryan Adams", "Billboard", "Grammy Awards of 1992", and "Billboard Hot 100" once, per here. In the Release and reception section, un-link "Mutt Lange", and mention "Mutt Lange" in the Canadian content section instead of adding his full name, and italicize "Billboard 200" and "Billboard 100". Again, link "(Everything I Do) I Do It for You" just once. Also, link "Canadian content" once. In the Waking Up the World tour section, fix the dates correctly, per here. Done
    Check. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 18:57, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Is it verifiable with no original research, as shown by a source spot-check?
    A. It contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline:
    B. Reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose):
    C. It contains no original research:
    D. It contains no copyright violations nor plagiarism:
  3. Is it broad in its coverage?
    A. It addresses the main aspects of the topic:
    B. It stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style):
  4. Is it neutral?
    It represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each:
    In the Release and reception section, this ---> "One of Adams' most successful albums", sounds like POV, it might be best to re-word it. Done
    Check. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 18:57, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  5. Is it stable?
    It does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute:
  6. Is it illustrated, if possible, by images?
    A. Images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content:
    Image:Bryan Adams WUTN.jpg is missing a FUR. Done
    Check. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 18:57, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    B. Images are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions:
  7. Overall:
    Pass or Fail:
    If the statements above can be answered, I will pass the article. Good luck with improving this article!

No longer GA

[edit]

It's been a long time since the article was assessed (2008), but in my opinion it no longer meets the GA criteria. The sections are a bit of a mess. One section (Release and Reception) repeats the content of other sections and does not cover critical reception at all. The sub-section entitled Songs reads more like Singles and should be part of a larger section titled Release and Promotion. Any suggestions / ideas? Leoseliv (talk) 14:39, 31 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

GA re-assessment

The article no longer meets the criteria for GA since being listed in 2008, particularly points 1, 3 and 6. Article is no longer well-written by GA standards, and will require heavy cleanup to meet GA criteria again. Article is also very brief and not broad in its coverage.
