Hight and Speed[edit]

I can't figure out how to get the hight and speed to show up in the Infobox. As far as I can tell it's never shown up since the new Infobox was put up. Anybody know how to get it to show up? Montu Man 1011 17:24, 14 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Review[edit]

Lead
  • I did a little reorganizement of content in the lead.
  • Maybe the world record will benefit from a citation there.
Done.--Dom497 (talk) 19:55, 14 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
History
  • "One of the billboards said, "SEEKING, One last fling while I've still got it. Sheikra (w/ floor) 1-888-388-3088."" I don't find this encyclopedic, and it also gives a number.
Are phone numbers not allowed (its a toll free one anyway so its not a personal phone number)? Also, its info about a promotion the park used for the attraction.--Dom497 (talk) 19:55, 14 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed, phone numbers are not allowed. WP:DIRECTORY#3: "Contact information such as phone numbers, fax numbers and e-mail addresses are not encyclopedic." — ΛΧΣ21 20:07, 14 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I removed it.--Dom497 (talk) 20:20, 14 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Same for the following sentence.
Ride experience
  • I find the queue section a bit weird and unnecessary.
I'll see if I can re-word it per that I think it should be there. It is the only mention (and most appropriate place) in the article about Quick Queue which there should be info about. It is also briefly mentioned in the infobox.--Dom497 (talk) 19:46, 14 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I find the Quick Queue thing worth a mention, but I think that it is not well written. A rewording may fix this :) — ΛΧΣ21 20:07, 14 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I tried re-wording it. Is it good?--Dom497 (talk) 20:23, 14 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Characteristics
  • "located in Batavia, Ohio" comma needed after Ohio.
Fixed.--Dom497 (talk) 19:37, 14 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Reception
  • The paragraph is way too long. Consider splitting it into shorter ones.
I split it into two paragraph's where the first is from enthusiast's while the other one is from newspapers. Good?--Dom497 (talk) 19:39, 14 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Good. Although, have you checked their reliability no? (Knowing you, I assume you did) — ΛΧΣ21 20:07, 14 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
What do you mean? Their reviews, how can then not be reliable?--Dom497 (talk) 20:18, 14 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I am not saying they arent! I just asked if you checked they were. I just needed a "yes" ;) — ΛΧΣ21 20:28, 14 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I was just asking...--Dom497 (talk) 20:31, 14 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Me too :P — ΛΧΣ21 20:47, 14 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Everything else seems good. Regards. — ΛΧΣ21 17:46, 14 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have addressed all the comments.--Dom497 (talk) 21:34, 14 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Yay, I can promote it now ^_^ — ΛΧΣ21 22:03, 14 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Quotes[edit]

I probably should have mentioned this during the peer review, but I notice some of the quotes are in the Reception section are redundant to what is already said about them. For example: "Jeremy Thompson ... believed that the roller coaster was more of a visual experience whether riding or not, '[...] riding the coaster is all about the visual experience [...]'" In this case, repeating what he said after summarizing it gives undue weight. Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of good quotes here, but I'd suggest some trimming. FallingGravity (talk) 07:11, 18 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I will work on that when I get a chance. :) --Dom497 (talk) 18:47, 18 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Name[edit]

I'm really surprised that the article doesn't address what the name means / in what language / why there's a random capital letter in the middle of it. Please can someone address this? --Dweller (talk) 22:14, 17 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"The name SheiKra is derived from the word "shikra", an Asian-African hawk that is known to dive vertically for its prey." - It is said right in the lead of the article. Why there is a capital K is strictly the way the park decided to spell the name (probably for marketing); however, we can not say that because it would be Original Research.--Dom497 (talk) 22:25, 17 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, yes, I missed that. <smacks forehead> --Dweller (talk) 12:49, 18 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
