Last assessed in 2009. Multiple areas missing citations and I am concerned about depth and breadth of coverage as well. This exclusively covers WWII troop sleepers but I've found evidence [1] [2] [3] they were used in WW1 as well. Even if they weren't quite the same as the purpose-built WW2 sleepers, there should be at least some basic background information given.

Result: Delisted per consensus. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 13:24, 14 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

For reference, this is how the article looked like when it first passed the GA review. Much of the content remains from the reviewed version, and the review was quite quick, so I have some questions about the GA review itself.

There is a table under each sub-section in Place name changes in Turkey#Notable geographical name changes, showing the changed names supposedly from the listed language. Every table includes the reference to Index Anatolicus, which is not RS, since it can be edited by anyone signed up. Much of the content on the tables are also not found on that site. Sevan Nişanyan, the creator of the site, is also not an established scholar. In all sub-sections except "Georgian", there is another reference to a report by the Turkish state, and there is very little doubt that such a report would not back up non-Turkish spellings and etymological explanations. There is a clear problem regarding verifiability with reliable sources. This doesn't even scratch the tip of the iceberg, because I have not scrutinized most of the remaining sources yet.
- Note: This problem was also present at the time of the GA review this article passed.
Large numbers of references lack page numbers, include dead links such as this and this, which aren't particularly RS as well.
According to Commons, the source for the maps in Place name changes in Turkey#Notable geographical name changes is page 55 of Adını unutan ülke by Sevan Nişanyan, but as far as I can see, that page covers the place names in Bartın, nothing that includes these maps or gives an overview that could back up the maps. These maps were also clumsily drawn and contradict with Index Anatolicus in many instances, which is the updated web version of Nişanyan's book.
- Note: This problem was also present at the time of the GA review this article passed.
One questionable aspect about the article is that in some cases, ancient or alternative names are presented as names that were changed recently. These names are not and should not be this article's focus. Nişanyan's book and Index Anatolicus do not in any way, justify that and distinguish these names as having been changed as part of a deliberate policy. One of the countless examples is Izmir. According to Nişanyan's Index Anatolicus, the name "Izmir" was attested by Ibn Battuta in 1333. A problem with Adını unutan ülke and Index Anatolicus is that it largely lacks commentary and just includes lists of names per a certain year when a particular source used that name. It seems any non-Turkish name/spelling, regardless of its age, was assumed to be changed as part of the campaign of name changes.
- Note: This problem was also present at the time of the GA review this article passed.
There are some excessive citations, many of which do not back up the content. For example, in the lead, this news article was left next to the statement that the languages of origin of the changed names included Syriac, but this article only discusses Yazidis. There are 0 mentions of Syriac or Assyrian.
It's pretty clear that this article needs a good clean up. The earlier reviews have not addressed many valid questions. The first GA review barely discussed the reliability of the sources or confirmed that at least some of the statements were verified by the given sources. Still, the article failed due to lack of action. The first review misled who made the second review so that these points still weren't addressed. A reassessment should not be aimed at delisting an article, but this article is very short of passing a GA. Maybe the standards were much lower in early 2010s. Aintabli (talk) 05:48, 28 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I am worried there may be some original research in the article. For example, see the "Notable name changes of Kurdish geographical locations" section. Prior to Turkey being founded, many of these towns and cities had a multiethnic population with many Turkish, Armenian, Syriac etc. residents. Are all of these names post-1923 coinages or was it a case of adopting a Turkish name when multiple had been in use previously? Kızıltepe is listed here as changed from Kurdish but the pre-1915 name was actually Tell Ermen.

Examples of Assyrian/Syriac names changed are Qudshanis (now officially Konak), Gülgöze, Midyat (formerly Iwardo), and İdil (formerly Azakh). I believe these are genuine name changes but don't have the sources to prove it. (t · c) buidhe 07:57, 28 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I have 0.0 doubts that the article has original research, given that as I listed above, in many cases, references do not back up the content they follow. For example, Index Anatolicus, the reference for the table listing "changed Kurdish names", does not tag "Riha" as a name that was changed to "Urfa" as part of the Turkification policies. There, "Urfa" is shown as an alternative name to "Ruha" from the year 1665. Furthermore, on that site, "Riha" was tagged as an Arabic name from 870, since it was attested in Ibn Khordadbeh's Arabic work Kitabu'l Masalik wa'l Mamalik from 870. Anyone can view it by hovering the mouse on the open book icon next to "A870". This is one of countless obvious cases where "unideal" sources were misrepresented with original research tucked in. Aintabli (talk) 14:00, 28 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Also, for context it should be mentioned the Geographical name changes in Greece and Hebraization of Palestinian place names as, for better or worse, this type of name change is quite common in the region. (t · c) buidhe 18:27, 28 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Tables and maps[edit]

I have removed the tables per the first point I listed above. Anyone disputing their removal feel free to discuss those here, though there isn't much to truly dispute, since the OR is pretty obvious. Best option is to recreate those tables with verifiable examples from RS. Aintabli (talk) 16:15, 28 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed the first table in Place name changes in Turkey#Comparative analysis that showed the number of name changes per province and added those numbers to the map for better readability. Aintabli (talk) 18:29, 28 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Related question but Aintabli do you think the maps are accurate? I used one of them in a FA rated article and if the sourcing isn't good it should be removed there (as well as here). (t · c) buidhe 16:57, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Buidhe, I actually found the sources for these maps. However, much of the declared sources on Commons aren't accurate. For example, the map you shared supposedly comes from Adını unutan ülke: Türkiye'de adı değiştirilen yerler sözlüğü, but I couldn't find that map on the specified page. Another book by Nişanyan, Hayali coğrafyalar: Cumhuriyet döneminde Türkiye'de Değiştirilen Yeradları includes similar maps more or less on the same pages. So, I think if we correct the citations (which I will do in a bit), we should be good. The maps could be more precise, but it's not a major problem for now. Aintabli (talk) 17:16, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Aintabli and Buidhe:, where does this GAR stand in your opinions? ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 18:09, 8 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It needs quite a bit of work. The earlier reviews ignored much of the article. In order to bring this article to the GA level, I would thoroughly check each source and verify the content, tweak the wording, and introduce new sources to make up for the removed content. This is equivalent to a full-on GA review, if not more than that. I will be able to get back to the reassessment a week later, though. Aintabli (talk) 18:22, 8 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

+1, I concur that the article is not close to meeting the criteria and would support delisting unless anyone is planning to make dramatic improvements. (t · c) buidhe 19:47, 8 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Result: Delisted due to sourcing issues. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 13:25, 14 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A 2011 promotion that doesn't meet the modern criteria. Significant uncited text that isn't to the level of WP:BLUE, and some of the sources aren't really all that great. For instance, the Karpowitz source appears to be self-published, and several of the other web sources are dodgy. One footnote commits original research, as " Tutankhamun: Anatomy of an Excavation. (The notes were made in the 1920s and describe composite bows as "compound"; the modern compound bow did not exist at this time.)" is sourced to a source that simply refers to things as compound bows. Will need some work to get back up to the modern standards. Hog Farm _Talk 03:42, 30 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

As noted, there are various issues with citations. For example, one citation is used to cover three volumes of a work published over several years, which rather defeats the object of being able to verify the cited facts. Many others lack page numbers. Some areas are thin on citations - for example there are many definite statements in the modern usage section which ought to be independently cited. The popular culture section seems pointless. That said, if someone is willing to put in the work, the bones of a good article remain. Monstrelet (talk) 15:41, 30 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks to both of you for helpful comments. Before I dig in to the relevant books (in storage, behind twelve years of newer books), a minor point: Karpowicz (Karpowicz, Adam (2008). Ottoman Turkish bows, manufacture & design. ISBN 978-0-9811372-0-9. Archived from the original on 9 August 2017.) is indeed self-published, but he is an established subject-matter expert, whose work in the relevant field has previously been published by reliable, independent publications, e.g. http://www.atarn.org/chinese/Yanghai/Scythian_bow_ATARN.pdf Archived 18 May 2011 at the Wayback Machine. SCYTHIAN BOW FROM XINJANG. Adam Karpowicz and Stephen Selby (first published in the Journal of the Society of Archer-Antiquaries, vol 53, 2010). Would you agree that it's reasonable to use his self-published work? Or not?

I wonder if Tutankhamun's bows being composite and not the modern definition of compound could legitimately be covered by WP:SKYBLUE, since the excavation reports say what they're made of and modern compound bows weren't invented until the 1960s? If so, what would be the appropriate way of saying so? Richard Keatinge (talk) 20:12, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I think there is a degree of subject-specific knowledge required by an ordinary reader about the change in meaning of compound bow that moves this outside WP:SKYBLUE. Monstrelet (talk) 10:01, 2 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, probably best to remove the entire comment then. Richard Keatinge (talk) 11:19, 2 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The citations still need work: some are from unreliable sources such as YouTube, some are inaccessible such as those from olive-drab.com, and some are dubious such as the numerous gun websites; I cannot comment on the reliability of the latter, but I will have to ask for expert opinion if they remain. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 16:41, 8 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi AirshipJungleman29, there are two Youtube videos cited for their visual content only. The first is a cut-away of a Model 12 which clearly shows it has a tilting breechblock. It also show only one slide rail. The second, of a deer combo as supplied by Winchester, with box label and corresponding contents. I would think these are both fit for purpose. Olive Drab is a legacy source which I have retained on face value, in that while it is now dead, it was verifiable. It is used to support that the AR-7 was the first using a rotating bolt and the years that the 1200 was acquired by the army. To the former, that might be removed without detriment to the article (IMHO). There are a number of published sources (google books here) but they cannot be viewed and I do not have access to them. In short, I have tried to do the best I can with what I have. Regards, Cinderella157 (talk) 02:07, 9 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Result: I'm not sure about the need for a "non-tornadic impact section" (see the note in 3a of the GA criteria). As no work has been done for three weeks, closing with no consensus to delist. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 11:52, 15 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This is an older outbreak article with several dead links and no non-tornadic impact section. A review is necessary. ChessEric 06:56, 22 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@ChessEric: The article appears properly cited and 3 dead links, while not ideal, aren't a major issue that would merit a delist on their own in my opinion. Which of the GA criteria do you believe this article fails to meet? Broadness? Trainsandotherthings (talk) 19:28, 22 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

To be honest, I wanted to make sure this article would still meet GA standards. The NWS changed all their links in the mid-2010s and that has left a lot of tornado articles with dead links, so I was just making sure it wasn't a problem. The only thing I think this article needs is a section dedicated to non-tornadic impacts from the storm system. I know this article is about the tornadic supercell that caused the disaster, but I thought that the article could use some more information about what else happened. ChessEric 19:38, 22 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, could you leave a notification at WT:WEATHER? Hopefully we can get some input from editors there. Weather is not an area of expertise for me and I'm not familiar with the general standards for weather event articles. I'd imagine someone would know how to resolve those dead links.

Per precedent when there was a physics GAR glut, it seems that this GAR was opened a bit prematurely. Since GAR nominator has agreed this was premature, this review is put on hold until May 23.

As noted by Kung Fu Man at the article's talkpage. This article shouldn't passed on GAN since 2014, due to lack of significant coverage (not a broad in its coverage) added to the article. The article looks shoort and some important details were not added to the article. Tagging author MoonJet who worked on this article before, zero or poorly worked at the article shall be delisted.

Glator this feels unnecessary. Yes, I said it shouldn't have passed, but at the same time your plate's running over and you know it's already being worked on.

Agreement with Z1720 above on the poor condition of the main article for this important book of papers. The article appears to have suffered significantly from over-edits over the past 15-20 years, when previously it did achieve peer reviewed status.

A GA from 2011 that does not meet current standards. It has a heavy reliance on primary and non-independent sources, which may also be WP:SPS. The prose also has an odd mix of promotional tone and critical tone, rather than integrating all information in a more WP:NPOV appropriate style. CMD (talk) 12:17, 17 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Most of the independent sources are related to the Daniel Lyons business, while most of the core bio uses non-independent sources. Wondering why there is not an article on the book, with that content covered there. Also considering the history of COI/socking at this article, the bio seems unlikely to be brought to GA status, and delisting is probably the best course (along with more eyes going forward).

Examples

see this statement in lead:

Vaishnava scriptures that Vishnu assumed the form of the ferocious Gandabherunda bird-animal to combat Sharabha.

Is this statement, grammatically, correct? I don't think so.

Corrected. --Redtigerxyz ^Talk 16:37, 28 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

2. Then, see following in section Buddhist scriptures:

The King was deeply touched by the compassion shown by the deer and thereafter promulgated a decry stating that hunting was an illegal activity in his country.

This one is also not grammatically correct.

Corrected. --Redtigerxyz ^Talk 16:37, 28 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

3. There are multiple uncited statements:

In Maharashtra the stone cut Sharabha idol is placed on the outer walls of the entrance gate of many historic forts.

Removed. --Redtigerxyz ^Talk 16:37, 28 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

4. See following statement:

It also shows the Narasimha beneath Sharabha's legs as a lion-faced human with anjali (hands folded prayer gesture). (See Infobox image)

Now the attached image does not seem to show Narasimha in anjali mudra.

Narasimha has held his hands in anjali mudra over his head. --Redtigerxyz ^Talk 16:37, 28 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

5. See statement:

The Skanda Purana considers Narasimha as a mere irritation to Hiranyakasipu and not a threat to the world,

Now, when we look in the cited source, the text infers that Narasimha is a nuisance, but not to Hiranyakasipu, but to the Devas. Certainly it can't be inferred that the being who killed Hiranyakashipu is a mere irritation to Hiranyakashipu.

Restored as in GA version.--Redtigerxyz ^Talk

I am nominating this article for GA reassessment. It has been sixteen years since this was promoted, and a lot of issues have accumulated since then. The biggest is a lack of adequate citations, which would be an automatic fail in a GA nomination.

This article was reviewed by Jack4576, who has an ongoing AN/I thread about not understanding basic Wikipedia policy, civility and bludgeoning, and reviewed in 20 minutes without any suggestions for improvement. I'm not confident that this is a GA level, as a lot of the article is sourced from the book itself, and in my opinion, the prose could be improved. JML1148 (Talk | Contribs) 22:43, 21 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@JML1148: I understand this is not a place for GANs, but if I was to copyedit this article to a theoretical GA status would its status perhaps be allowed to remain? Or, because of the nature of its passing would its status have to be stripped regardless of quality? I apologise in advance for being unfamiliar with the GA reassessment process, but the last sentence of your above message implies the latter. ツ LunaEatsTuna (💬)— 23:00, 21 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@LunaEatsTuna: I would say the the prose is the main issue. It's in a pretty good state, but I think some things could be improved. I also am somewhat concerned about sourcing, as a lot of the page is sourced from the book, and I'm not certain about some of the sources. Because of a few different issues and the dubious review, I would say that it should go through the whole GAR process, which means it will keep its status for now, but it may be removed if changes aren't made. JML1148 (Talk | Contribs) 23:13, 21 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

For some reason, there's no "official" procedure for quickpassed articles like this. But I think there's agreement that the best case scenario in situations like this is if someone is willing to go in and fix any issues so it can keep its GA status. After all, that's what improves the encyclopedia. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 19:36, 23 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I will defer most to other more experienced GA reviewers, a couple of brief drive-by comments:

The summary of the book is long. Technically, a non-fiction book isn't governed by MOS:FICTION and MOS:FILM, which generally state the maximum length should be 700 words. Still, the summary is way too long and should be condensed.

E.g., the summary repeats the number of pages, how many chapters the book has, the inclusion of referencing etc..., while it might be useful, I think it violates 3b of the GA criteria, if these are removed readers could still obtain the same amount of context without needing these specific sections.

Also, the summary for the ninth chapter is very long compared to that of other chapters, occupying three paragraphs. Is devoting this amount due weight and satisfying summary style? I.e., if the reviews focus on the final chapter it might make sense that this is long, but I think this could be simplified for better compliance with 3b.

Nitpicks:

While saying that a book/film/game received "positive reviews" is fine if other RS or aggregators say so, some editors might consider the statement of receiving "generally positive" and "positive reviews" here violates WP:SYNTH (I personally do this frequently, and maybe wrongly, for stub/start/C-class articles, but for GAs it's best to have a source for the claim or remove it for now.

Very minor nitpick on criteria 1a), there does not seem to be commas preceding "which" for many instances in the content section, e.g., Chapter four is about the Republic of Minerva which built an artificial island in the Minerva Reefs 1972 by importing sand, Next, the authors write about the Republic of Molossia, a satirical benevolent dictatorship run by Kevin Baugh which was created for comedic value. There should be commas as these are nonrestrictive clauses.

Otherwise my main issue is that the length of the content section could be construed as violating criteria 3b, that out of the way, IMO this is a solid article satisfying or close to satisfying other criteria, still, I'd like the community decide. VickKiang (talk) 04:55, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

While the summary is still on the long side at slightly longer than 800 words it's not too bad IMO, and all of my other brief concerns have been addressed, so thanks for making the article significantly better. I will have a look at prose of the new content section tomorrow. VickKiang (talk) 06:45, 24 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies for the delay, I think otherwise the article looks good. I still have a few very minor nitpicks possibly with regards to criteria 1a, but either way I think this should be kept. A few minor notes:

Simon Caterson, writing for the The Sydney Morning Herald's weekly newsletter The Booklist- the is repeated twice here.
its subsequent history including an attempt takeover- shouldn't the correct grammar here be attempted takeover?
Spotchecks:

Ref 4 is fine

Ref 5 also supports the claims

I can't access ref 2, but the material here is quite uncontroversial (mainly just a few quotes) and I am willing to assume that this is accurate.

Ref 10 is fine as well.

Many of the statements were unsourced. The article is outdated and also suffers from WP:PLOT and perhaps out of date reception section. Also, some of the contents from reception isn't talking about her directly. So as per that, I believe the article no longer meets GA standards. GlatorNator (ᴛ) 23:58, 26 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@GlatorNator: I don't disagree with you at all, I just wanted to say I intend to try and fix the issues to prevent de-listing. Can you tag what you'd like sourced? If you can, giving me some more specific examples of what's wrong with other sections would help me fix them quicker too. Damien Linnane (talk) 00:19, 27 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Also what's outdated outside the reception section? She hasn't appeared in any major games since the ones covered. Damien Linnane (talk) 00:21, 27 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I guess it is only unsourced. The reception was also flimsy, it only got big with listciles that doesnt talk directly to her. Thats it. Best of Luck. GlatorNator (ᴛ) 00:24, 27 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

As of now, the article still haven't recieved substantial improvement. The plot still needs to be trimmed (some of them are unsourced) + it is still not broad on its coverage since sources/scholarly books at further reading and more at WP:BEFORE wasnt implemented yet. GlatorNator (ᴛ) 23:06, 3 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@GlatorNator: While I already added citations outside of the plots, it was my understanding that plots don't need to be sourced. I thought this would be unnecessary, but in any case I've now both sourced and trimmed them as well.

Broad statements like "and more at WP:BEFORE" are extremely unhelpful to anyone trying to address issues. I note in your initial nomination you said the article was "outdated" without giving any more context, though then retracted that allegation as soon as more clarification was sought on what the issue was. So considering that, I'm going to have to ask you to be very specific about what is wrong with the article, rather than just saying there are "more" issues without clarifying what they are.

You did point out the sources listed at further reading haven't been integrated into the article. Accordingly, I'll start working on that. Damien Linnane (talk) 02:35, 4 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It is now better unlike before. Thou, I think the only issue might be about broad on its coverage at reception. I think if you implemented the sources from further reading, and reword some of the listicles like "included her or ranked her at the top" then that's it. If you can find more per WP:BEFORE, it'll be better. Regards. GlatorNator (ᴛ) 04:28, 4 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@GlatorNator: I've done my best to improve the reception section. If you think the clean-up tag there can now be removed, please consider doing so. Thanks. Damien Linnane (talk) 06:04, 6 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thou, I was hoping to see your another GA article, Max Payne (character). I think that article still doesn't show that the article passes notability or broad on its coverage at reception seciton. 1st paragraph needed to be rewritten and it mostly contains ranking and listicles, again. It might be nominated at GAR soon if the article hasn't been fixed yet. Thank you. GlatorNator (ᴛ) 11:50, 6 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I definitely don't have time to work on that at the same level as I did on Kerrigan straight away, but thanks for the advanced notice.

Article has had two banners on it for two years, and the raised issues raised on the talk page by @Schazjmd: about content added in 2020 seem to have largely gone unaddressed. Additionally, the majority of revisions since then have been hidden for WP:COPYVIO, from content added in those same series of edits. WP:QF criteria 3, and possibly 2. - car chasm (talk) 06:29, 24 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: The copyvios that have been hidden are not a current issue. The Schazjmd talk page thread mentions a vague feeling of copyvio with precisely no evidence; that is no ground for GAR, especially if the matter has been addressed by removal/hiding since then. On tone, I've fixed a minor issue. I've also removed a small amount of uncited material. On the tag's vague charge of being essay-like (always a personal judgement, very hard to verify), I note that in a philosophy article, it is correct to explain the arguments in plain language, and these naturally appear as descriptions of thought, which will sound to the uninitiated like an editor "thinking aloud", but will not be original research as long as they are properly and genuinely cited to reliable sources. In short, I can find very little wrong with the article as it now stands: that does not mean it did not have problems earlier, but that does not concern us here. Chiswick Chap (talk) 16:32, 2 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for taking a look at this. I agree that it's best to write out the arguments in plain language, but what about, for example, the section on Quining qualia? Dennett certainly meets the criteria for a valid WP:RSOPINION, but almost the entire section is based on his paper "quining qualia" with no other sources outside of the criticism section. Possibly I'm being too nitpicky here? - car chasm (talk) 16:58, 2 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

We have Dennett stating a view, and a criticism section attempting a rebuttal of that view. I'd say, what's not to like, really. It's certainly fair. Chiswick Chap (talk) 16:59, 2 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

GA from 2013. Article tagged for needing additional citations because this article is very poorly cited. Onegreatjoke (talk) 05:02, 31 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delist per nom, tried my best fixing it up once before and I really don't think this now supports GA status. Heck, by today's standards, I'm not entirely sure if it constituted it in the first place. Thank you for tagging it, anyway, as I'd planned on doing it about a year ago, but could never wrap my head around the system. Hullian111 (talk) 05:32, 31 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delist. This article was poorly referenced when it was originally nominated for GA assessment in 2013. Re-reading my review, a huge amount of work went into ensuring that all of the article was properly referenced. In my opinion, it met the requirements for GA at the time, but at that time it was only about 44kB. It is now up to 62kB, and it appears that very few of the subsequent additions have been adequately referenced. (This seems to be an issue with quite a lot of GA articles that were reviewed a long time ago.) I think I agree that it is not at GA status in its present state, so would support delisting it.

That is a reason because that would fail the broadness aspect of a GA. Onegreatjoke (talk) 03:11, 5 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The "broad in its coverage" criterion is significantly weaker than the "comprehensiveness" required of featured articles. It allows shorter articles, articles that do not cover every major fact or detail, and overviews of large topics. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 05:04, 5 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but that doesn't mean that you can ignore a whole decade of a person's life? Onegreatjoke (talk) 14:44, 5 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Can we actually verify that anything noteworthy happened after where the article leaves off, though? It's not uncommon for sportspeople to return to private life and stay out of the public eye. "The team of seventeen players will be cut to thirteen before the team departs for the Olympic games,[23] with the announcement being made on 13 June." needs updated, but it's quite possible that she didn't make the list of 13 and then nothing noteworthy happened after that. That there's actually noteworthy information missing needs verified before taking to GAR. Hog Farm _Talk 15:24, 5 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I can confirm she competed in the 2016 Olympics https://olympics.com/en/athletes/glencora-ralph so the article is missing her water polo career between 2012 and 2016. And is she still working as a dental therapist? If not, the article is factually incorrect. LibStar (talk) 16:14, 5 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to be blunt here. Commenting "Not a reason for GAR. WP:SOFIXIT applies." on a bunch of GARs is pointless and unhelpful. The whole purpose of GAR is to fix articles so they don't need to be delisted, ideally. It's not an attack, it's flagging concerns about the article potentially not meeting the GA criteria to a wider audience, improving the chances the issues are rectified.

Not everyone has the time, expertise, or energy to fix every article they find. That doesn't mean they're forbidden from bringing articles to GAR. I'm not a fan of how a bunch of these athletes were brought here at the same time, but posting the same comment on a whole bunch of these is no better, quite frankly. If there are indeed major aspects of these athletes' careers in the decade since their promotion that are not discussed, that would be an issue for broadness. Nobody is arguing for FA standards here.

This article has an unresolved update tag from August 2017, and upon some digging I see Glencora Ralph was a member of the Australian team at Rio in 2016, which placed sixth [4] in water polo. The article completely neglecting this is absolutely a concern for comprehensiveness. Even more concerning, the prose also fails to give any attention to her participation in the 2012 Olympics competition, instead giving us the 11 years out of date sentence "The team of seventeen players will be cut to thirteen before the team departs for the Olympic games, with the announcement being made on 13 June.". Ralph did compete as part of the 2012 team which won bronze, according to the Olympics website. Aside from the infobox, there's zero mention of her involvement with the 2013 FINA World Aquatics Championships, either. There are obviously major gaps in this article's coverage. Quite frankly Hawkeye, I'd expect better from someone with such a track record of quality content than coming in and denying any issue exists. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 02:48, 12 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks @Trainsandotherthings:, you put it better than I can say it. Good articles are a mark of quality, and if for a BLP significant gaps in their career are missing, it doesn't deserve to be a GA, if we keep such GAs it devalues the concept of GA. It can lose the GA status and re-assessed once updated info is provided. LibStar (talk) 03:01, 12 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If they don't have the time, expertise, or energy to work on the articles, then they should not be bringing them to GAR, especially masses of them at once solely in order to minimise the prospect of their being worked on. There is near zero chance of an article being re-assessed. I am not denying that the articles have not been worked on since 2012, but if the whole purpose of GAR is to fix articles so they don't need to be delisted, then Libstar should step up and work on the articles. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 20:07, 12 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It sounds like your issue is more to do with GAR as a process, Hawkeye7. If the only people who can bring articles to GAR are those who are going to fix them, then there's no point in GAR at all. To me, your attitude's a bit like saying "what's the point of doing GA reviews? If there are problems with the article, WP:SOFIXIT. If there aren't, award the GA status". ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 18:08, 14 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. There is no point in GAR at all. The original idea was to workshop articles to keep them up to standard. The nominator was expected to participate in the process. This is the way FAR works. What we have here is mass nomination of dozens of articles with no actionable work items solely in order to delist them. By mass nominating you can minimise the prospect of their being worked on. In future, we can expect hundreds of articles to be nominated at once, with little or no rationale. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 18:19, 14 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nope, sorry. Any articles of similar topic that come to GAR at the same time are kept for longer to allow people to work on them. See for example Albert Einstein, which was kept on hold for two months so that physics-related GARs for Universe, Astronomy, and Electricity could be finished first. The GAR talk archives hold further discussion of this topic. None of this present glut of Australian water polo-playing women are very long articles, or require that much in the way of WP:SOFIXIT, so they'll be given a month in total, instead of the usual week. Anything else, Hawkeye7? ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 18:33, 14 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What we have here is mass nomination of dozens of articles with no actionable work items solely in order to delist them We have exactly 12 articles at GAR right now, so this is patently false. I said previously that I don't approve of them being listed all at once, and they don't have to be closed after 1 week. You are implicitly accusing people participating in GAR of acting in bad faith without evidence. If nobody wants to work on them after we've kept them open for a while, the long and short of it is they have to eventually be delisted. You seem to think that everyone has to fix any problems they identify themselves, which is not how a volunteer project works. In future, we can expect hundreds of articles to be nominated at once, with little or no rationale is actually complete bullshit, quite frankly, and you need to stop with the theatrics and absurd slippery-slope analogy that has no connection to reality. Obviously we would reject nominating that many at once as out of process. Your participation in this space is turning into a negative, and I'm asking you to reconsider your approach. You are doing nothing to help these articles while demanding others do so for you. Are you really surprised that you're not being seen as reasonable right now? Based on my comprehensive analysis, which you haven't disputed, the bringing of this article to GAR was 100% proper and I would have done the same had I come across it.

Again, we are all volunteers and there's not enough volunteer time and energy to save every single article. That's just how things are. You don't have to like it (and quite frankly, I don't either) but that's the state of this project and that means some articles will end up being delisted. If you don't like the process so much, you're free not to participate, but we do not need you coming in here and attacking other editors. I've lost a lot of respect for you after seeing your behavior here, Hawkeye. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 22:56, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. This seems like it'd be a better fit for the GAR talk page than this specific reassessment, but I would like to concur with Hog Farm that it would have made things a lot easier if the GAR nominator had gone into a little more detail in the nomination statement, and the same in the other nominations. If the complaint is comprehensiveness, the nominator doesn't necessarily have to fix the article, but the nominator absolutely should verify that encyclopedically relevant events have happened in the subject's life since the article stopped being updated. If updates have slowed to a trickle, that might be because the article is out of date, but it might be because the person has semi-retired, or is simply way more low-profile now. In the latter case, then an article that "stops" in 2010 might still be comprehensive. It sounds like that in this specific biography, there are indeed some events that need inclusion, but the existence of such events should be stated either on the talk page or in the nomination statement, ideally with links showing this to be true. SnowFire (talk) 02:06, 15 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I make a point to highlight exactly what the deficiencies in an article are when I nominate it, which really should be expected from listings. At least for this article there were serious problems but the barebones listing statement didn't make it obvious. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 23:02, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The water polo articles were created by myself and another Wikipedian in 2012 as Wikipedians in Residence with the Australian Olympic Committee but we were transferred to the History of the Paralympics in Australia (HOPAU) project, which is why they stop in 2012. I am the only one left now. I came here because the articles were still on my watch list. I am very busy at present but will have a look at this article. A list of deficiencies would be useful. I would ask that only one water polo article be processed at a time to give me the time to work on them. I note that I have an articles sitting in the GAN queue for up to six months. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 10:48, 18 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

GARs are kept open as long as someone has worked in them in the past two weeks, for a limit of three months in total, Hawkeye7. All have the same deficiencies—all the athletes competed at Rio 2016, and some even in Tokyo, but there is little to no information about their careers provided on the respective page. If you are unable to work on them, they will have to be delisted, as the GA status is public-facing and should be kept as reliable as possible. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 13:20, 19 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough. Speaking of collaboration, even though I've already notified RALFFPL on their talk page, I thought it best to do so again, so any undiscussed reversions become a conduct issue. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 20:10, 20 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I've been working through the article in sequence, and had made it to the last album section before the reassessment was launched. During that time users have been continually adding content of uneven quality to the Image and Legacy section (cruft, stuff with grammar and spelling issues, and so on). I'd suggest everyone STOP adding content until we determine a way forward here. For my part, I think most of the Image and Legacy section should either be moved to its own article or deleted. You don't need to list everyone who's ever worn a Maiden T-shirt or listened to one of their songs. Intothat darkness 20:01, 20 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A lot of it is pretty obvious WP:TRIVIA. I think I'll remove the section about celebrities who wore t-shirts if I don't see a policy-backed response in 24 hours or so. ~UN6892 ^t_c 23:07, 20 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have begun removing huge amounts of cruft and trivia, in addition to unused references. Just wanted to note that if anyone worries about those comments which say that "these figures have been agreed on the talk page, don't change them" or some such ~~bullshit~~ nonsense, it turns out that RALFFPL added them in edits like this without any talk page discussion at all. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 14:39, 21 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You might want to moderate your language a bit. Intothat darkness 16:41, 21 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to stop making grammar and language corrections until there's a stable version of the article in place. It's annoying to fix stuff in a section and then come back and find it's been removed. That's part of the reason I stayed away from the Image and Legacy section...it's such a dumpster fire I didn't want to waste time on it until something had been decided. Intothat darkness 16:46, 21 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I think I've used enough of the chainsaws and hedge trimmers on the article, Intothatdarkness if you want to start fixing/copyediting. I apologise for the language, but fabricating consensus or the words of other editors is one of the worst things you can do on Wikipedia, and were it not for the fact that I think the editor is just about acting in good faith, I would have called in an administrator immediately. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 15:54, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'll start back in within the next couple of days, just in case there's another flurry of activity. And to be clear, I don't think the other editor was fabricating consensus as much as they misunderstood the difference between talk page discussion and notes added to reverts. There was a flurry of these maybe a year or so ago, and the majority as I recall related to album sales figures. For some reason that seems to be a hot button thing in this article.

Keep. The nomination is making a notability argument for delisting but notability is explicitly not a GA criterion.

It's a different case than say Kefka or Terra, where with those weak/bad sources are being used, and we're aware of not only good sources existing but broader coverage.

GA from 2014. While there are some citation needed tags, what shocked me was how much "nothing" there was. The article has ZERO information on the actual tournament. It's genuinely astonishing how much this fails broadness. Onegreatjoke (talk) 01:12, 8 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

De-list it quick fails good article criterion 3a, as it's not broad enough in its scope. At a minimum, I'd expect some sort of tournament summary for each phase, like in 2022 FIFA World Cup#Group stage. The "Background" section is about different tournaments and so is barely relevant, and thus falls foul of criterion 3b. There's also almost no referencing, the whole set of stats is sourced to one article (which doesn't verify some of the tables), thus it also fails criteria 2b and 2c. Can't believe it was ever listed as a GA in the first place, the standards in 2014 must have been ridiculously low back then for this to be considered good.

Keep. I restored the FFVI section to the version that passed GAN, which had since ballooned due to an overenthusiastic editor. No paragraphs are currently unsourced. Notability is not a GA criterion. The internet barely existed when this game was published so almost all internet-based coverage is necessarily retrospective. Japanese Culture Through Videogames (2019) is a published book that carries the section. Axem Titanium (talk) 14:44, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Axem Titanium: Notability isn't an issue, we both know she's notable. It's some of the material used i.e. Michael Rougeau of Complex barely saying anything, and Tom's Guide which is just being cited for her being on there. There isn't more than that or better sourcing?-- Kung Fu Man (talk) 14:51, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The Complex article says that Terra paved the way for characters like Yuna and Aerith. The Tom's Guide article says she's an interesting protagonist because she isn't a natural-born leader but becomes one over time, and that her arc is a mark of the series' maturing storytelling. We agree that she's notable but she falls in a dead zone in terms of coverage because her main appearance came before the internet and people weren't really writing books about video game characters at the time. So we work with the best sources that are available. These are good sources relative to what's even possible (cf. WP:CONTEXTMATTERS). As long as they're from RS, Top X lists can be used and Complex is on WP:VG/S. Axem Titanium (talk) 15:16, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Top X lists can be used but if they're not saying anything meaningful. Simply being on a list isn't reception, we already went around that rabbit hole with quite a few other articles thanks to Niemti and trying to clean up the sheer mess he left behind. There's seriously nothing on Google Books, Scholar, even searching through wayback's magazines that discusses her? Not a single significant mention on any gaming website? Like I know there are sources to completely rewrite Kefka with a meaningful reception section, so there should be here. "It's from an old game" isn't really much of an excuse when it's one as popular and as re-released as this one.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 19:35, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I'm just seeing this GAR today so I haven't spent any time looking for sources yet. On the first page of google books: [5] [6]; from google scholar: [7].

GA from 2011. Has been tagged for refimprove since 2020. But its main problem is the numerous non-primary source tags on the article. Would like someone to look and see if the primary sources are an issue. Onegreatjoke (talk) 17:08, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I read the introduction of the linked Moore 1850. It seems to be largely a reworking of a 1596 translation of a prior (to 1596) book by Jacques Lavarin (in French). Lavarin's book relies heavily, according to Moore, on a history by Marinus Barletius but is itself constructed from a list of twelve sources. If not largely a mirror of Barletius – a direct comparison with a modern translation of Barletius may be needed to establish whether that is the case – I would think it obsolete. Ifly6 (talk) 19:10, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Many of the tags were added by Phso2 in Special:Diff/813213605. Tagging for possible explanation or context. Ifly6 (talk) 19:15, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Moore says his "business has been to concentrate Lavardin's history" (i.e. to concentrate the 1596 English translation of Lavardin's 1576 book); Lavardin says his book is "drawned for the most part" from Barleti. As noted by Ifly6, if the result of this Latin->French->Bad English->Good English successive translations may not be a mirror of Barletius, I doubt it can be qualified as a reliable source. That doesn't mean that academic modern history differs from this account (perhaps not, since Barleti is perhaps the only primary source - I don't know), but the sourcing is questionable at least.--Phso2 (talk) 20:17, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. Even if modern academic history does not differ from Moore's account, it should the main thing cited regardless; people use Wikipedia's references as a starting place for research. We shouldn't lead them into 19th century dead ends. Ifly6 (talk) 20:32, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This 2007 listing is disproportionately sourced to two millennia-old primary sources such as Suetonius, Philo, and Cassius Dio; this is not GA standard, especially considering the hostility of ancient sources to the emperor. Much of the article thus falls under 2b) of the GA criteria. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 12:47, 11 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. This article should be delisted as it does not fulfil the GA standards. Unlimitedlead (talk) 00:23, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. Two full length modern biographies of Caligula are referenced a single time each; two more are listed in further reading. More recent still is Barrett & Yardley's The Emperor Caligula in the Ancient Sources. The fact that e.g. the section on historiography does not cite a single modern source analysing the historiography is a major concern; other sections could also do with much more secondary source support. There are also a couple of uncited claims which I would ask to be cited were this up for GA today. I'd also expect that the section on cultural depictions should be written in prose: WP:GACR#1b requires compliance with MOS:EMBED, which among other things suggests that Embedded lists should be used only when appropriate; sometimes the information in a list is better presented as prose. A prose discussion of how Caligula has been portrayed in art and literature would be much better than the current list. Caeciliusinhorto-public (talk) 11:17, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If this article was nominated for GA for the first time now and I was the reviewer, I wouldn't pass it until those issues was addressed.

Keep: I've fixed the uncited claims by adding refs and removing text as necessary. Some outdated claims have been removed. Very short paragraphs and sections have been merged.

The broadness question is interesting, it's true the article doesn't have to be comprehensive, but there does seem to be large untouched gaps. There is a Geography section, but it says nothing on urban geography (aside from a tantalising picture of city walls). I don't know quite what is happening in Governance, but it's briefness seems to leave it jumping between topics with no clear structure (speaking of structures, "After it was declared redundant and de-consecrated" presumably refers to some church structure, but it's not apparent in the article). There's a demographics section, but it's so sparse as to not even mention the "substantial student population" seen as important enough for the lead. The lead itself could use expansion, although here to better capture what is in the article rather than what is missing. CMD (talk) 08:10, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Urban geography: added paragraph, refs.

Governance: Named the missing building, added refs.

Demographics: Added details of student population. Chiswick Chap (talk) 10:00, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Lead: Edited the lead slightly. It seems a fair summary of the contents.

Added a little more. I'm really not going to add that the city has a bus station to the lead: every city has one of those, so the wooden "section = mention" equation won't do. Chiswick Chap (talk) 16:10, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I don't believe I've promoted it as a wooden equation, but happy to step away from this.

Result: It's clear that there is no consensus to delist, so let's leave it at that (my own thoughts on the matter align with LEvalyn's below). ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 10:13, 24 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Prose/style issues: Stylistically poor sentences include: "It is exceedingly uncommon for men to self-identify as bugchasers, but among those who do, their behavior does not consistently match this identification; instead, they often seek ambiguous sexual situations, rather than ones in which their partner is known to have HIV."

"But it existed by at least 1997, when Newsweek published an article about the subject, followed by Rolling Stone in 2003."

"However, there are four common motivating explanations."

"It may be a subject of pleasure or the ultimate taboo to overcome."

"But among bugchasers in particular, there remain several common metaphors that distinguish them from other communities among MSM: those of insemination, pregnancy, and paternity."

"But perhaps even more to the point of the metaphor, the physical characteristics of HIV infection are similar to pregnancy, as typically some time passes before either diagnosis could be established."

Overall this article has a persistent problem of presenting the posited analyses and concepts of theorists as fact in wikivoice, leading to sentences like "Since HIV is able to spread and reproduce through the sexual activity belonging to bugchasing, its cultural dimensions—institutions, norms, practices, and forms of kinship that, taken together, form a community situated around HIV status—may be transmitted through viral infection, similar to cultural propagation through birth and paternity"

This article does not meet Good Article criteria, and I think it should be reassessed (and fixed!) Isthistwisted (talk) 02:28, 15 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The GA criteria are lightweight, so an article with problems is perfectly acceptable. Prose issues are only a problem if they make the article not "understandable to an appropriately broad audience", not if it's awkward or amateur.

I am not sure what the supposed style errors are in these quoted sentences; whatever may be stylistically wrong with them, it's certainly not wrong enough that it's GA-disqualifying. I notice the nominator has made 9 edits to this article and 18 to its Talk page (making them the second-most frequent editor, behind only the article creator).

Garcia Iglesias expressed willingness to talk with me, and I presume any Wikipedians, about the topic. I recognize that WP:OR is uncommon but it is within the realm of possibility to have a recorded video chat with the cited expert and post it to clarify anything here. I have said before but the core problem is that this entire conversation has a bias in a bogus Rolling Stone article which spread the misinformation that a large number of bugchasing cases have been identified. This article would benefit from clarification that this is an uncommon practice. There are many really weird fetishes for which Wikipedia has no article but which are more common than this practice. I recognize the problem with the sources but I expect that any expert would say that this article is incorrect, as would anyone with lived experience.

The problem is that no one wants to assign specific numbers to this, but actually, I think they would give comparative frequency info. For example, if we cornered and expert and named a bunch of weird sexual practices that almost no one does, then they would likely say that those practices are more common than bugchasing.

I recognize that Wikipedia needs to build from sources but there is serious disinfo here that I think experts would renounce. Bluerasberry (talk) 14:21, 15 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Is your concern that the article misrepresents the number of people involved in bugchasing? The article is very clear that it is very rare, and explicitly states that the Rolling Stone article was bunk. "rare" is the fourth word of the lede. There are sentences like Bugchasing is a rare sexual taboo. I am not sure what further clarification could be necessary. What disinfo, specifically, is not being renounced here? -- asilvering (talk) 15:36, 15 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That particular issue was fixed a few minutes after you submitted this reassessment, Isthistwisted. Is there any other part of the article you feel violates WP:NPOV? ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 23:46, 21 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yep:

"By 2003, the concept had entered the public consciousness after Rolling Stone published "Bug Chasers: The men who long to be HIV+", an article—since widely disputed for its statistical methods—describing the practice." This seems to be derived from Octavio R. Gonzalez's claim that the article was "perhaps most responsible" for bringing the term bugchasing to the mainstream. I don't think that this sentence should present as fact in wikivoice that the Rolling Stone article brought the subculture into public consciousness, as that's not even Gonzalez's claim—and his real claim is both soft ("perhaps most responsible") and untestable (it's just one scholar's estimate, and if included, it should be presented as one scholar's estimate).

"However, four motivations have been suggested." is an original synthesis of four sources, in violation of WP:OR. The explanatory section that follows doesn't textually attribute the suggested motivations to the theorists with whom they originated. I don't think that "And fourth, bugchasing has been described as a political device and action against social norms (such as those tied to heteronormativity) through transgression of particular ideals, which in this case includes rigid conformity to safe sex practices." should be reported neutrally (that is, as an abstract idea rather than a posited theory by named scholars) (just as one example of a bad sentence in an overall problematic paragraph).

"[Bugchasers'] identities frequently do not align with their actions." is actually not a neutrality issue, but I'll include it here as an inappropriately vague phrase.

"[Barebacking and bugchasing] are not necessarily equivalent activities." erroneously implies (without a citation) that bugchasing and barebacking may be equivalent activities.

Isthistwisted (talk) 22:25, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This seems to be derived from Octavio R. Gonzalez - no, it's from Romero-Paulo & Cuenca-Martínez, who cite Malkowski. It's worth noting that there is no requirement that what our reliable sources state be "testable". is an original synthesis of four sources - no, Romero-Paulo & Cuenca-Martínez, who cite Forsyth, say: "quienes propusieron un total de cuatro explicaciones ... para intentar dar respuesta a qué motiva para llevar a cabo la práctica del bug-chasing". I added "at least" to the qualifier, but the fact that four motivations have been suggested is not only represented in the source, but even if it weren't, it's a routine WP:CALCulation to summarize that which follows. should be reported neutrally - yes, within WP:PROPORTION to what reliable sources say on the subject -- sources generally agree that there is a political element to seroconversion for at least some bugchasers. Romero-Paulo & Cuenca-Martínez don't equivocate here: "Una de las motivaciones del bug-chaser sería la acción política." erroneously implies - does nothing of the sort (an earlier version was about subsets, but the GA reviewer found it confusing, if I remember right, so this was compromise language to get at the same idea) but since you choose to read it that way, I've changed it. I'm not interested in playing whack-a-mole; let's stop stringing this process along. Urve (talk) 02:05, 24 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"I'm not interested in playing whack-a-mole; let's stop stringing this process along."

Is there something you want from me? As long as I'm queried about my problems with the article, I'm going to respond honestly. If you think that engaging with my comments is "playing whack-a-mole", then by all means ignore me. But if you do care: the passages I've identified problems with are specified above :) Isthistwisted (talk) 03:37, 24 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You point out "problems", but I don’t see how any of these are NPOV issues that could merit delisting as a GA. (This is a GAR, not an article Talk page.) What is the editorial bias you see here? What is being given undue weight? All of these sentences (including the one you claim is uncited) are cited to RS and reported on from a reasonable distance based on whether they are facts of behaviour or interpretation/theories. ~ L 🌸 (talk) 06:24, 24 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Result: Lack of improvement of issues with GA criterion 2 below. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 19:05, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

GA from 2007. I want someone to take a look at this considering many section are tagged for either relying mostly on one source or possible factual inaccuracies in the article. Onegreatjoke (talk) 20:46, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I don't have an opinion about factual accuracy yet. I don't love that article relies heavily on a popular book rather than a scholarly one (no real peer review), plus original medieval sources (risky business to cite too credulously). But, I wasn't able to find anything else that I liked much better. We could try this diss on duels? Maybe this article?

Reading this interivew with the book's author offers useful context, I think, for how to interpret his book as a source: it likely represents some of the best research into the events in question, while remaining fundamentally an exercise in storytelling. His examples of 'imaginative' additions are things like 'there was a burst of cold air when the door opened,' which he says is a guess based on the fact that it was January. I don't think the book is inaccurate (or getting undue weight in the article) but I do think as a source it encourages lurid levels of detail. Although there are tags for inaccuracy, almost everything is cited; at most what might be needed is to foreground the specific sources more clearly (e.g., what comes from court records vs what comes from Froissart.)

So, I actually think the main problem with this article has to do with criteria 3b, rather than criteria-2 sourcing problems: that exhaustive blow-by-blow of the duel itself feels like "unnecessary detail" to me. Or maybe it feels off because of neutrality (criteria 4) problems. I think everything related to the duel should be cut down into one section, which takes a more encyclopedic approach of indicating key events (and their sources) more simply. To address all the main areas of its subject (3a) it might also be appropriate to have a set-apart section that describes the "reception" of the duel, aka, the way it was a go-to story of a miscarriage of justice, how it's been relitigated by historians, etc. Setting that section apart would also make it easier for the events of the duel itself to be more matter-of-fact, since the interpretation itself would happen elsewhere.

Overall, I slightly lean toward delisting in its current state, though I also think chopping the article down to something more encyclopedic would not be too onerous an undertaking. ~ L 🌸 (talk) 21:27, 15 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

GA from 2015. Just like the 2000 CECAFA Cup that was recently delisted. This article fails the broadness aspect of a GA because there is practically no prose for any of the matches in the Cup, which is something that you should expect in an article about a sports match. Onegreatjoke (talk) 21:07, 19 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

De-list looks like most of the reasons I voted to de-list the 2000 article also apply here. It quick fails good article criterion 3a, as it's not broad enough in its scope. At a minimum, I'd expect some sort of tournament summary for each phase, like in 2022 FIFA World Cup#Group stage. None of the fixtures/results/tables or the goalscorers list have any sources, which mean it fails criteria 2b and 2c. Whilst this article is slightly better than the 2000 one, it doesn't meet the current standard for a GA. Joseph2302 (talk) 08:40, 21 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delist. I was the GA reviewer and am surprised that I promoted this. I am more concerned about the lack of citations for the tables etc. than about the summaries; I see the argument for more text about each stage, but there's a subarticle for that so only a sentence or two would be enough. But without the citations this can't remain a GA. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 11:37, 21 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It shouldn’t be too hard to salvage - at a minimum, I can add citations for Conway’s All The World’s Fighting Ships.

The major concern is the receotion section where it mostly needed to be rewritten and trim something like, removing listicles that aren't necessary or rewrite it instead of "Nathan Drake was ranked as X" and if multiple sources that amount the same thing should be maybe written like (Magazines have described Nathn Drake as one of the best video game character.[1][2][3] and etc.) + some of the new sources should be implemented to fulfill its GA criteria.

In the honourable tradition of early-Wikipedia articles on mid-century Australian cricketers, this 2009 listing is detailed to the point of insanity, with exhaustive statistics on pretty much every international match Miller ever played.

This leads to a total word count of 14000+ (not counting quotes, image captions, or tables) and a pretty certain failing of GA criterion 3b ("it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail").

GA from 2011. While there are some things that don't have inline citations like

Historian Milton M. Klein proposed that the name may have accompanied the success of the Black Ball Line in 1818 "because of the signal advantage the regularity of shipping gave to New York's merchants over those in other coastal cities." He claims that, by 1820, it was clear that "Empire State" was in wide use, though he is doubtful that a clear origin of the term will ever be determined.

I leave that to Zxcvbnm, since he is more familiar. There a lot of listiciles arent talking to the character directly and is written mostly about rankings, top ten and a passing mention from a game reviews, which isn't a reception at all, like for ex. "A 2000 GameSpot readers' choice poll to determine the top ten video game villains ranked him at #10, and the same site's 2010 All-Time Greatest Game Villain contest included him as one of 64 candidates. He featured in IGN's 2005 Battle of the Badasses, surviving to the "Elite Eight" stage before being eliminated. A 2008 IGN Reader's Choice poll determined that he ranked among ten heroes most desired to appear in a Soulcalibur game, and he appeared in an IGN list of gaming's most notorious anti-heroes, sharing both honors with Raziel. He ranked as #34 in IGN's top 100 videogame villains list, was showcased as #2 on a 1UP.com list of the top five videogame characters named Kain/Kane, and ranked as #4 on the latter site's list of top ten vampires." GreenishPickle! (🔔) 11:13, 24 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I would mostly see the over-emphasis on listicles as going against the "well-written" criteria of Good Articles. An entire paragraph listing one minor award after another pulled from lists would not be of interest to someone who was not a gamer. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 17:29, 24 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If I may, a believe a more succinct way to put things is that the reception doesn't adequately describe how the character is important and relies on weaker sources. While Notability isn't outright covered as part of the GA process, there is a paradox in how can an article be "good" if there's a lack of adequate sourcing to illustrate it should exist separate of the main subject.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 16:06, 25 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Whether a paragraph is of interest to someone who is not a gamer is irrelevant to the GA criteria Zxcvbnm. See this essay—I don't think any non-gamer would find this article incomprehensible. If you feel that the article does not show sufficient notability to stand on its own, nominate it at AfD Kung Fu Man; alternatively, if you feel that it is just this one paragraph that relies on non-RS, why not just delete that paragraph? Would that solve the problem? ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 19:13, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Well, some of those sources talks about detail, but are cited for a ranked entry on a list, while others are bare mentions + needs to be cleaned up/rewritten. GreenishPickle! (🔔) 04:41, 27 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I pushed this to GA status ten years ago. At the time, "listicles" were a nonexistent concern on articles such as these to my knowledge. The reception section was modelled on other articles with GA status. Anyway, I see somebody already dealt with the issue cited. If there are other specific concerns, I'd be interested in looking into cleanup. "I am concerned that almost entire article needs to be rewritten" would not be realistic feedback for me, though.

For example, there are so many lists that praised the character for being the best, we just need to simply wrote "Magazines has described Kain as one of the best video game villain", rather than "Kain was listed as the best villain" or "Kain was ranked as top 9 of the best video game villain" with zero commentary. For other article ex. there are so many lists that praised the sex appeal of Jin Kazama that the user simply wrote "Jin was often praised for his sex appeal regardless of clothes he wore". Right now, the article is not yet broad on its coverage after the removal of the contents, even thou it should be rewritten instead. GreenishPickle! (🔔) 04:36, 30 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Somebody else has attempted an edit in the meantime. There isn't an abundance of usable character feedback to salvage from those listicles. Some, but nothing dramatic. They're primarily used to help establish notability/popularity. I think reintegrating them with what little can be used or doing away with them entirely would be a trivial task with next to no impact on article quality either way.

With listicles included, there were around twelve distinct sources and eighteen different writers cited in that section. If all listicles were completely nuked, still around eight distinct sources. That's on par with e.g. Mr. X (Resident Evil), a GA character who appeared in 1998 and 2019. The almost complete lack of historical coverage of that character was waived at GA review. I think the historical coverage for Kain is far, far stronger here in comparison, but you have to bear in mind this character hasn't been used in twenty years. VG coverage from the turn of the millennium was generally more niche, less rich in character studies, thinkpieces, etc, and probably more rich in shallow lists like those.

You just need reword some of the valuable listicles that was removed here [12] and replaced all the texts "ranked as top X" into a commentary. That's it. GreenishPickle! (🔔) 20:24, 30 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That sentence does not make grammatical sense, Greenish Pickle!. Could you please rephrase? ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 20:31, 30 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Reworded. It happens when you edit at 4am. GreenishPickle! (🔔) 20:36, 30 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Would you mind doing the rewording to your satisfaction, Greenish Pickle!? 20:47, 30 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

lol no. That's why it was sent to GAR. Any Rewording/adding commentary seems fine. If they have time no yet, the GAR could wait until they have fixed it. GreenishPickle! (🔔) 20:57, 30 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

For my POV, read above, i.e. 1) there isn't really too much more commentary to extract from those links and 2) the good article status never hung its hat on that particular section anyway. What I'm asking at this point is, what are we currently identifying as major problems to solve under GAR now that the listicles are resolved, regardless of how they are resolved. LoK Wiki (talk) 22:10, 30 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Reload this page again since I reworded. The only problem is the artucle isnt broad on its coverage after the removal. There are some usable sources that was removed [13].You just need reword some of the valuable listicles that was removed here and replaced all the texts "ranked as top X" into a commentary. I already said this like 3x. it can be reworded like this [14]. There is a conmentary akl of the sources, the irrelevant one shall be discarded. GreenishPickle! (🔔) 22:25, 30 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Just to be clear, Greenish Pickle!, you believe that the article is now in violation of GA criterion 3a ("it addresses the main aspects of the topic"), keeping in mind the note stating "The "broad in its coverage" criterion is significantly weaker than the "comprehensiveness" required of featured articles. It allows shorter articles, articles that do not cover every major fact or detail, and overviews of large topics.", and should be fixed by adding a few paragraphs of extremely obvious close paraphrasing disguised as "commentary"? You will forgive me if I disagree. In any case, I should ping @WP:GAR coordinators: (the GAR coordinators) since I usually close GARs but am obviously now WP:INVOLVED. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 22:46, 30 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Because TNT shouldn't be the option on some of those "listicles" sources. Some of them can be usable and would be again written like this [15]. Folks should go through the sources and seeing what could and couldn't be saved from them. The "can you show me where the policy says not to use listicles?" I mean, can you not see that dude? And the fact your answer was "just delete it" shows even less effort. GreenishPickle! (🔔) 22:54, 30 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Why is it necessary in terms of the GAR criteria to reword and reinsert those listicles? I can't see how this feedback relates to the good article reassessment. Whether they are removed entirely or parts of them are salvaged, it satisfies the issue. Minor improvements like this can be dealt with after GAR. Bear in mind I'm the person who originally put these sources there ten years ago and it makes little difference to me. LoK Wiki (talk) 23:20, 30 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Another user has cleaned up and I added some of the removed content that can be usable. Its not that hard, and it looks like you're using most of time arguing instead of fixing issues. GreenishPickle! (🔔) 00:31, 1 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The article has no setlist, missing outgoing wikilinks where available. Cherrell410 (talk) 01:22, 1 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy keep and close - A setlist is not included because it is not available from any sources. I'm not sure what the nominator wants me to do. I have started an ANI discussion about the nominator's conduct and request this page be deleted and removed from the article's talk history as points 3 and 4 under "Before opening a reassessment" at WP:GAR were not met. A very similar article's GAR was closed as keep two days ago. There is absolutely nothing here requiring a GAR.--N Ø 01:58, 1 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep and close per above. Missing outgoing wikilinks is not enough to delist a GA if that issue can be ameliorated. XtraJovial (talk • contribs) 15:29, 1 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Result: Fails GA criteria 3 and possibly 4. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 22:49, 1 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

GA from 2012. I feel as if this article fails the broadness category since this article has not been updated and fails to mention many important events in the country's political history such as the 2017 Zimbabwe Coup amongst others. Onegreatjoke (talk) 22:44, 21 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately this article has not been updated and it would be a non trivial amount of work in order to bring it up to standard. It is at the edge of my expertise and outside of my time commitments right now and so it would only make sense for it to be reassessed until it can be fixed at a later time.
