Result: Speedy keep, GAR rationale badly misunderstands the GACR. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 02:42, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Most of the material in the lead sentence is uncited. failing GA criterion 2b GabrielPenn4223 (talk) 14:52, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@GabrielPenn4223, GA criterion 2B states that reliable sources should be cited inline, but the MOS:LEADCITE policy states (2nd paragraph):

"Because the lead will usually repeat information that is in the body, editors should balance the desire to avoid redundant citations in the lead with the desire to aid readers in locating sources for challengeable material. Although the presence of citations in the lead is neither required in every article nor prohibited in any article, there is no exception to citation requirements specific to leads. Any material challenged or likely to be challenged must have an inline citation or it may be removed. The necessity for citations in a lead should be determined on a case-by-case basis by editorial consensus. Complex, current, or controversial subjects may require many citations; others, few or none."

Nothing in this article's lead can't be found in its body and no statements in the lead is challenged or likely to be challenged. There's one direct quote that is cited. Finally, the subjects and claims made in the lead aren't controversial or complex. Consequently, the lead doesn't fail the GA criteria. Best, Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 21:40, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I would agree with this interpretation of policy. Reviewing the lede section -- not a sentence, as the nomination claims -- there's nothing that isn't echoed and expanded on later in the article. Literally, similar words recur in the lede and body (independent, consensus, richest, difficulty/difficult, partnered, recession.) All you need is a CTRL+F search of the page, you don't even need to read it.

The exception is the Anthony Field quote, which appropriately has a citation.

I've looked at the nominator's talk page. Your welcome message is January 4, and since then you've closed GARs before they should be closed, asked for GARs of articles that aren't GAs, etc.

As has been expressed by Hog Farm on your talk page, GARs are not for minor issues, and even if they were, there are no issues in the lede.

This is a quick close, if that's even a term in GARs. If there are legitimate issues with this article that I haven't noticed, you're welcome to open a new GAR, but I see no obvious issue, and your initial rationale is flawed. -- Zanimum (talk) 00:15, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A 2007 promotion that survived the 2009 sweeps but is listed on the 2023 sweeps listing. Several uncited sections have accreted, and I am also concerned that not all of the various carfan websites cited would meet modern reliability standards. Hog Farm _Talk 21:00, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Couldn't find anything for the Wheels Magazine references [refs: 1, 2, 3, 8, 9]. More citations might be needed and not (too) many unreliable sources.

Result: Delisted. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 16:16, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Article was promoted in 2006 with a very limited review by today's standards. As the article stands today, I have concerns about its compliance with criteria 1b, 2b, and 2d.

1b: The lead of the article is not a summary of the body, as is required by MOS:LEAD. Much of the content of the lead does not appear in the body at all (e.g. the Spartan pyrrhichios is not discussed in the body; the claim that "tribalism ... usually gives rise to such folk dances" does not appear in the body). I also see aesthetic claims about specific dances made in Wikipedia's voice in violation of MOS:WTW, e.g. the sword dance Choliya "has a very beautiful and graceful form"; "The Jerusema ... is an interesting kind of hybrid war dance".

2b: I count fifteen paragraphs in the body which do not end with a citation. At least one specific claim, that Morris dance commemorates battles between Christians and Muslims between the 12th and 15th century, I am actively sceptical of. I also found one claim which does not seem to appear in the cited source: "A sub-type of the Khattak Wal Atanrh known as the Braghoni involves the use of up to three swords and requires great skill to successfully execute".

2d: This from the first source I checked; I would consider this too-close paraphrasing if I found it when reviewing an article:

Article	Source
In a few isolated sections of Europe, a rather savage male combat dance survives. In the villages of the Transylvania Alps and Carpathian mountains, before Twelfth Night and Whitsunday, nine men from nine villages assemble for the Joc de căluşari or căluş, a rite of initiation. The men engage in fierce battle with sticks, which used to be bloody and sometimes fatal.	Another kind of round dance survives in a few isolated sections of Mid-Europe and is gradually disappearing. It forms a part of the magic rites of brotherhoods who have gone through an ordeal of initiation. The most savage of these is the Roumanian Joe de Calusari 'horse-play' in villages of the Transylvania Alps and Carpathian mountains. Before Twelfth Night and Whitsunday nine men assemble from nine neighboring villages. They are initiated by a leader into the mystical gestures and figures of their dance; and they put on belled boots and ribboned hats and take an oath under a sword. In some villages they blacken their faces. Their troop includes a masked fool, a goat-masker, a transvestite, and a standard-bearer with a decorated pole surmounted by a horse's head. The men leap about wildly in a circle around the fool or lean on the sticks in their hands. With the sticks they engage in fierce battle, formerly bloody and even fatal.

I have notified the nominator, reviewer, main article contributor, and GA sweeps reviewer, but none are currently active. Also notified the relevant wikiprojects Caeciliusinhorto (talk) 19:53, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

certainly below standards in its current state; improvement is urgently required. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 20:12, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Every paragraph needs to be checked against its citation because most of the text appears to be unrelated fluffing the editor did to call whatever it is specifically a "weapon dance", which the lede seems to want to define as combat-oriented or combat-derived, but then most of the examples are anything but. It may just need WP:TNT if there's no actual scholarly/encyclopedic "thing" that is a "weapon dance" (as opposed to, say, a sword dance, which is an actual cohesive topic.) Since some of the dances here don't have their own article, then failing finding an RS giving a cohesive definition, this article article would be better reformed as a "List of martial dances" or something like that (the Talk page notes someone added Capoeira, which notably generally has no weapons, so clearly the article does not have any cohesive scope as-is).

This 2007 listing contains significant uncited material and thus does not meet GA criterion 2b); at well over 11,000 words, it is likely also excessively detailed and violating criterion 3b). ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 16:14, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well, as things go in the 2020s, you're correct. I've just had a good look at the article and for the record, it is remarkably clear and well-written, and admirably illustrated with math, diagrams, photos, and examples, to the extent that a biologist can read it with ease and pleasure: quite the engineering accomplishment. This was, in fact, a well-deserved GA back in the day. As for its length, it would be very difficult to split or condense as it is coherently written, and all the sections are at a similar level of detail. As for citing it to today's standards, that would require highly specific expertise; and the question of how to cite the "illustrations" in the broad sense I've used is a thorny one which I don't believe Wikipedia has adequately thought through.

Result: Delisted as not meeting GA criterion 3a). ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 02:41, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This article is just 193 words long, making it the shortest GA by word count.

Problems I noted with this article include but are not limited to:

There is uncited text in the lede which is nowhere else in the body.
The last sentence is uncited.
One of the sources is WP:GOOGLEMAPS, which is not forbidden but is still problematic. Schierbecker (talk) 05:05, 18 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delist GabrielPenn4223 (talk) 17:37, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delist and redirect the article to List of state trunkline highways in Michigan. There's nothing in the article that says why the highway was built or why it was decommissioned, so it fails criteria 3a. Regarding Google Maps, my view is you can use it to cite an existence of a building or a street intersection, but it doesn't contribute at all to notability. Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 14:46, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Concur with Ritchie333, I think there are just certain articles that, even if they reasonably fully cover the subject, are so short that they fail the broadness criterion and you can't do anything about it. By using WP:DYKCRIT criteria, it would not pass DYK because it has fewer than 1,500 bytes in readable prose, so it's likely a stub, but then WP:STUBDEF says that articles with little inherent notability can be merged. I think doing that by blocks of, say, 25 articles, can be more useful than scattering barely notable articles around the encyclopedia, let alone maintain we have enough confidence to show this as "good quality" stuff.

Just in case anyone is unaware, GAR is not AfD; this discussion is only about whether an article meets the GA criteria.

@AirshipJungleman29: wouldn't needing a notability tag fall under #3 in immediate failures? It seems relevant, surely if a topic is not notable its not eligible for GA or FA. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 08:35, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:Horse Eye's Back, a notability banner is not a cleanup banner. There are quite a few FAs/GAs that have been deleted as non-notable (I have nominated two myself: Keith Miller in the 1946–47 Australian cricket season and Keith Miller with the Australian cricket team in England in 1956; there has also been e.g. ANAK Society). The non-correlation between the two processes is delineated at the top of WP:GAR. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 09:06, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If an article falls below the long-established "stub" threshold for DYK, then in my view it walks like a stub, talks like a stub, and acts like a stub. And the GA criteria explicitly says stubs cannot be GAs. Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 11:21, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ritchie333, per WP:STUBDEF, a "stub" is defined as "an article that, although lacking the breadth of coverage expected from an encyclopedia, provides some useful information and is capable of expansion." If an article such as this is not capable of expansion, but is still very short, it is not defined as a stub, and is thus eligible to be a GA. I repeat, questions of notability are not within GAR's purview—if you wish to invoke WP:ATD or WP:NOPAGE, AfD is the place to go. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 11:41, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think you can make arguments like these though. If it's not capable of expansion because there's little to tell, is it broad? I mean it fails 3a at least because there are supposed to be main aspects, and you can't really say there are aspects (plural) to talk about, maybe one or two at most

Ideally though, I'd merge with other similar articles because the main claim to notability here is that it existed because MIDoT said it did and I-94 was then built built nearby... which kinda is too little to justify a standalone article IMHO. You know, we grade GAs above B-class articles. Will you give it a B? I'd say it's start-class. Probably an example of what a small article should look like, but still start-class. Szmenderowiecki (talk) 12:17, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Szmenderowiecki, I am, in fact, aware we grade GAs above B-class articles, having delisted hundreds in the past year. Taking the only WikiProject for which B-class assessment is still a thing, we find the following criteria: referenced

Done, not containing obvious omissions/inaccuracies

Done, a defined structure with a lead and sections

Done, no grammatical errors

Done, and an infobox/images/diagrams if necessary

Done. I do not know where you are getting your definitions of "B-class" and "start-class" from, but I would appreciate your opinion on which two of these B-class criteria the article does not meet, or an example of alternative B-class criteria this article fails.

As far as I can see, the article discusses three main aspects—the route itself, its history, and its intersections—if you feel that something is missing, feel free to say. Again, if you want a discussion on notability, please start a merge discussion or an AfD. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 12:31, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"at the time it was created, it was fully paved" appears to be OR. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 12:45, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"After removal from the state highway system, the roadway is now simply known as Dexter–Ann Arbor Road" is also unsourced. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 12:47, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am not necessarily saying anything is missing. I am saying that there's just really too little to tell and it's fine for an article but falls short of GA.

Intersections is in fact just another way to describe the route, which I can read from a map conveniently provided in an infobox. The history is literally 3 (three) sentences long: commissioning, decomissioning, and current name. And that's it.

Now imagine stripping it of the route description. It's OK to describe it in an article, but since the only source is a map, it doesn't really give anything new to the reader, unlike, let's say, a newspaper article about the local importance for ranch farmers or whoever lobbied MIDoT to build it. Still giving a GA? For me, there should also be some astonishment from reading the article, and restating a map gives me none of it. Szmenderowiecki (talk) 12:50, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's fine. Sometimes a topic doesn't need to have 70 paragraphs written about it. I have driven on this road; it's pretty nice. But it's not that long. What, specifically, are we demanding be added to this article? jp×g 🗯️ 12:08, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think my real problem is the article doesn't tell me anything I can't get from a map, and where I'd understand the map better. Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 12:22, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delist I get that we've got a gamut of ideas about what the broadness coverage means; whether it's just "we cover everything reasonable about this topic and that's enough" or if there's a particular floor every article needs to get to. Reading this, I definitely end up on the latter side. There's basically nothing here that actually educates me on why this is a topic that matters. Ritchie's point that it can be replaced by a map and you lose almost nothing is I think a fair one to make. These probably should get merged together if all that can be said is in a paragraph or two, but that's not really the purview of GAR. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs ^talk 15:06, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Speaking with the coord hat on, it is true that notability is not considered part of the GA criteria. If you think an article fails GNG and shouldn't exist, the venue is AfD, not GAR. With that said, speaking from my own perspective, the severe lack of substantial secondary sources (that say more than just maps) is a problem for meeting comprehensiveness requirements. If we can't find a single source besides a map that discusses this highway within the last 60 years, I'm not convinced the article can meet the GA criteria. I fully agree with Ritchie's comment that I think my real problem is the article doesn't tell me anything I can't get from a map, and where I'd understand the map better. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 16:16, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This article was made a GA in 2007 and was reassessed in 2009. It is bot up to standard for a modern GA article which is a shame as the film in my opinion deserves to be Featured!

I started trying to fix things but as I go on I see more and more.

There are unfrerenced points throughout (accolades table for example), a lack of images, it doesn't follow MoS, sources in lead. I'm happy to do the work on it but I need help and as such think this needs to be delisted and go through a GAN again. It hasn't aged well this article.

"This 2009 addition" is the date the GA was listed.

Spinixster (chat!) 11:50, 24 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I went through all the citations and cleaned them up. If dead-urls, then I added archive-urls. Military-topic single-use citations were brought up from the sources section to the references. Changed the messy harvnb citations with ref names to simpler Sfn style (which automatically combines citations which use the same page numbers). Did some verifying of content and adding page numbers. Fixed a few bits of content as I was verifying sources. Standardized the short-form citations to use Sfn with a year instead of an internal wikilink style reference (most of which didn't have the year in the short form). Found some URLs for citations that didn't have them. Added Open Library links when a book was available online. Did some other bits too numerous to recall, and some minor format cleanup. ▶ I am Grorp ◀ 10:48, 24 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This 2007 listing contains significant uncited material, including whole subsections, which means that GA criterion 2, which requires nearly everything to be cited, is not met.

I also think that this article could perhaps use more detail (Pi is around 4x the length) but I am not an expert. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 19:13, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Three things.

1) The assertion that "whole subsections" are uncited is untrue: every subsection has at least one citation inline.

2) On the question of detail, the article seems to cover "the main points" as required by GACR; comparison with the massive topic of Pi is inapposite, in the manner of OTHERSTUFFEXISTS.

3) On the unstated issue of whether and how "math" – mathematical working – should be cited, I think that before every single math GA is dragged to GAR, the question should be fully aired on an appropriate Wikipedia forum to obtain consensus. The principle that we don't cite "The sky is blue.[21][22][23]" should hold here, as "all the truths of mathematics are tautologies" (Wittgenstein). In other words, any piece of correct mathematical working, like "6/3 = 2" says no more than "A = A", which is about as "the sky is blue" as it is possible to get. If working is to be disallowed, then it is hard to see how even the best, clearest, and most helpful all-math articles can meeat the criteria. Chiswick Chap (talk) 11:42, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Chiswick Chap, the reason every subsection has an inline citation is that substantial work has been done over the past few weeks by editors such as XOR'easter and Dedhert.Jr; this was the article's previous state. WP:CALC, which I am fully in agreement with, covers your third point.

I wholly believe maths articles can meet the criteria—see Derivative, which the same two users recently kept at GA standard. The subsection "computational example" there is uncited and allowed per WP:CALC. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 18:03, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The article has numerous uncited statements. The reception section is quite short, considering the amount of literature that has been written about it. I am also surprised there isn't a legacy section, considering that this is the first in a very successful video game franchise. Z1720 (talk) 16:12, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Upon performing my own quick look at this article,

Release date is sourced in lead, but not in the actual article?
Reception is too short to conclude anything of how critics felt.
No legacy section, per above, which could easily be made even if it just goes over the sequels established by it. A start could be seeing if this games competitive scene has SIGCOV to warrant placement in this article, or even including some parts about the Smash Remix mod.
A lot of gameplay is unsourced.
Development seems to be okay?

If someone took the time to address the issues mentioned here and above I'm willing to change my stance but in my opinion this is a very clear Delist. λ NegativeMP1 17:16, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I had boldly removed the legacy section because it merely lists all the sequels, which functionally makes it no different than the Super Smash Bros. series article and is thus redundant. It did not cover this particular game's legacy in the same way that Melee's Legacy section does with the its still active competitive scene. I had previously brought this up at WP:VG and the consensus seemed to agree. ThomasO1989 (talk) 17:21, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

While that seems fair and I agree that it's pointless if it only lists sequels, a substantial Legacy section should still at least mention them. I do think however that it should go more into detail about other things of the games legacy, and contain the sequels to a small bit. λ NegativeMP1 17:31, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A legacy section can probably include the sequels to the game, its impact on the fighting genre, its impact on sales for the N64, and its use in tournaments, among other topics. Z1720 (talk) 18:07, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think a legacy section could be created with its use in tournaments and mods like Smash Remix. (Oinkers42) (talk) 20:49, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It appears that lot of reliable sources exist for Smash 64's esports coverage, and a pretty decently-sized reliable source exists for Smash Remix [1]. Both are definitely material that can be included in a Legacy section. λ NegativeMP1 20:54, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A lot of legacy sections on a first work in a franchise seem to just turn into redundancy with the series article, so I agree with the axing. But aside from the listing of sequels the relevance on the fighting game community and such does seem reasonable to include. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs ^talk 20:57, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I feel like the screenshot does not really do a good job at showcasing the gameplay of the series. I think a better screenshot showing 4 players actively fighting on a fairly complex stage like Hyrule Castle or Saffron City would be good. (Oinkers42) (talk) 21:01, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delist. For the breadth criterion, Reception should be greatly expanded from contemporaneous and retrospective reviews. A Legacy section is currently unhandled, per above. And the Gameplay section should be easily sourced to reliable, secondary sources. czar 15:35, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this article for reassessment predominantly over prose concerns. Specifically, the massive overuse and misuse of the word "would". Would is a future tense word, yet it is frequently misused to describe past tense actions. Sentences such as The tavern, being popular with politicians while campaigning or traveling across the country, would provide heated encounters with political rivals who would stay at the tavern as well. and The Peavine Railroad would end service in 1928, and the lines would be either demolished or washed out following the inundation of the Holston River by the Tennessee Valley Authority in 1942. are exceptionally poorly written and do not meet GA standards as I understand them. Consider also the extreme example of The accident is considered one of the deadliest and worst traffic collisions in the history of the state of Tennessee. The collision, the deadliest in state history... It is clear to me this article needs a fundamental rewrite. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 01:12, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

- " "Private Acts: Highways & Roads". Grainger County Genealogy & History. May 9, 2011. Retrieved May 5, 2021." - local genealogy website; this sort of source usually is not RS
- " "Bean Station, TN to Tazewell, TN". Walk Over States." - wordpress, no reason to think this blog would be RS
- " "Bean Station, TN". DataUSA.io. Retrieved May 18, 2020." - I don't know what this is, but I doubt it is RS

GA from 2007. Contains significant uncited material. Onegreatjoke (talk) 16:23, 24 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Easy delist. I added the citations needed tag. Numerous uncited areas. Though we unfortunately have just lost another Automobile good article, I hope we can bring more to GAN soon. However, this is just not a very interesting place that I would want to work in. Additionally, the Ambulette section is very short, among other things that might need checking. However sourcing is the main concern.

A recurring issue in multiple writings in and outside of Wikipedia that always gets my attention is the incorrect use of apostrophes in plurals. For instance, the term "Physician Assistants" is erroneously presented as "PA's." It is imperative to adhere to grammatical conventions and replace such instances with the correct form, "PAs." For instance, the passage could be revised as follows:

"Physician Assistants are found predominantly in English-speaking countries and may also be known as physician associates in some countries. PAs mirror the practice of a physician and are capable of providing the range of medical skills a physician provides. They generally work in collaboration with a physician, although in an ambulance environment, this may not be possible. Instead, advanced directives or electronic communication are available to PAs to consult with physicians when required." 750h+ (talk) 17:35, 24 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Result: Delisted. Real4jyy (talk) 13:04, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This article has been expanded a lot in the past year with a lot of useful information, but also a lot of fancruft, a lot of messy inconsistent style usage, and ultimately all this information in presented in subpar prose that does very little to actually inform the average reader. tens of hours would likely be required to get this back to a GA status. I might even start with a revert to a previous version of the article and readd information as justified, but I don't have the time for that right now. Remsense留 15:18, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delist A few notes: The "Scriptures" section has been vastly expanded into the current "Texts" section. A lot of this expansion is written in a way that does not provide a clear understanding of the significance or relationship between the texts mentioned. Some of them seem irrelevant just based on the article's own writing. The "Chinese classics" subsection begins "Taoism draws on numerous Chinese classics that are not themselves "Taoist" texts but that remain important sources for Taoists." and ends with an embedded list of seemingly non-Taoist writing.

A brief note from old GA version about pronunciation (The character Tao 道 (or Dao, depending on the romanisation scheme)) has been expanded into an entire section that is not clear and seems to indicate the pronunciation provided on the first line of the article is incorrect.

I started looking at the "Classification" section initially because of prose issues. The two bullets about translation would be so much clearer if they began with the words "dàojiào" and "dàojiā", rather than phrasing like "Firstly, a term encompassing a family of". I checked the first source online[2] and I don't see those quotes ("religion proper", "the teachings of the Tao") within the cited text. Also, that first cited text really deemphasizes the division noted in the Wikipedia article (The same quandary surrounds the related issue of daojia versus daojiao, the two terms to which the first entries in this book are devoted. Even though the origins of these terms may lie in mere bibliographic categories, Taoists have sometimes used them interchangeably to denote what we call “Taoism,” and sometimes separately to distinguish the teachings of the Daode jing (and a few other works including the Zhuangzi) from “all the rest.” While these terms do not seem to have raised major issues at any time in the history of Taoism, the questions that they have generated in the scholarly realm are largely products of their early flawed translation, or rather interpretation, as “philosophical Taoism” and “religious Taoism,” respectively. Based on the way of seeing outlined above, Taoism is not exactly either a philosophy or a religion, but rather a set of consistent doctrinal notions that have taken many forms and given rise to a large variety of individual and collective practices throughout the history of the tradition.) That division is highlighted again in the next prose section, "The distinction between Taoist philosophy and Taoist religion is an ancient, deeply-rooted one." and again cited to a source that does not seem to put weight on it (‘Taoism’ encompasses thought and practice as a ‘philosophy’, ‘religion’, or a combination of both.[3]). Rjjⁱⁱⁱ (talk) 13:23, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Do you think it may be viable to revert the article to an early 2023 revision? Remsense留 06:33, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I pulled up the first version from 2023[4] and checked to see how the issues I noted looked a year ago:

Chinese classics: This is just the I Ching at this point and the connection to Taoism is more clear.
Classification/Categorization: More of an issue than the prose, is that the dichotomy expressed in the article wasn't backed up by the sources. I think that religion v. philosophy view is even more present here.

I wouldn't say that a revert to this version would fix all the issues, Rjjⁱⁱⁱ (talk) 01:12, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Rjjiii, would it be a good start, in your mind? One that would turn this from probably just delisting, to a project that one or two people (including me, likely) could tackle to keep that from happening? Remsense留 06:19, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It'll depend on the section. Reverting Chinese classics back to I Ching resolves the "fancruft" issue there. The classification section had problems with writing against its cited sources earlier than 2023.[5] Good luck with the article, and if you ping me as you make progress, I'll strike my notes above, Rjjⁱⁱⁱ (talk) 07:00, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

AirshipJungleman29, I am back—apologies. I will provide a substantive assessment shortly. — Remsense诉 00:29, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Okay! I think I have a plan.

Splitting. Taoist ethics, and maybe Taoist schools and Taoist texts should be their own articles, which should be related summary-style in this article. §History is far too in-depth—shuffle to History of Taoism, and summary-style further. I think if any glossary page on the site is justified, we should have a Glossary of Taoism.
Partial reversion (反) – with the early 2023 revision as a baseline, this can now be done section-by-section.
At that point, we can start to tackle some of the (I would say perennial) issues with clarity and definitions brought up by @Rjjiii.

Short GA with uncited sentences and Google Maps as a source, which is problematic. GabrielPenn4223 (talk) 08:21, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@GabrielPenn4223: please tell me which sentences are not cited. The entire route description is cited to the 1919 state map, the appropriate section of which is an illustration in the article. (I added a redundant citation to the current state highway map for good measure.) The entire history section is cited to its several citations. The lead is a summary of the body, thus it doesn't need citations. We might quibble over the last sentence of the lead, but if you would like me to cite every single official state highway map from 1926 to 2023 (yes, I have scanned copies from the Library of Michigan on my hard drive or print copies in notebooks for 1958 to 2023) for the proposition that a number has never been reused in almost a century, then I will. P.S., List of state trunkline highways in Michigan also has every iteration of every highway designation, and M-41 only appears once there.

As for Google Maps, it's only cited for the length of the highway, and that's a fairly common use case for that site for millions of people daily. There is no consensus on the reliability or unreliability of Google Maps generally per WP:GOOGLEMAPS, so we have to judge on a case-by-case basis. Suffice to say, they can get basic lengths correct. Imzadi 1979 → 09:17, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delist and redirect to List of state highways in Michigan. There is no significant coverage in reliable independent sources. The closest is a citation to the The Grand Rapids Press but that talks about highway classification generally, not specifically this topic. The discussion about Google Maps misses the point - of course it can be a reliable source, but it cannot be an independent authoritative one to demonstrate notability. User:Uncle G/On notability is my favourite essay that describes the difference between being reliably sourced and notable in an engaging way. Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 10:59, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Ritchie333, notability is irrelevant in a GAR discussion and discussions about Google Maps' reliability are very relevant; if you have an issue with the article's notability, please take it to AfD. I have taken the liberty of striking the "and redirect to" portion of your !vote, as it is not within GAR's purview. Best, ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 11:34, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  I don't want to AfD the article, because there is a non-deletion alternative per WP:ATD-R. But blanking and redirecting an existing GA might be considered disruptive. Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 11:38, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  Ritchie333, then the GAR discussion will happen, and if it is delisted you can blank and redirect without fear of being called disruptive. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 11:49, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  Correct, and @Ritchie333, it is not disruptive to blank and redirect existing GAs It is not vandalism. GabrielPenn4223 (talk) 11:42, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think this is fine. GAs are not required to be long. If there's some specific thing that isn't in the article, which needs to be added to it, then fine -- but we don't write long articles simply for the thrill of the keyboard. jp×g 🗯️ 12:22, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delist and redirect to List of state highways in Michigan. Another article that was wouldn't pass GA these days, but did over a decade ago. When an article is so short as to almost be a stub and still has multiple statements that are either unsourced or only sourced to maps, there simply isn't enough there for GA. Black Kite (talk) 17:51, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delist but keep FWIW, I believe a GAR (and delisting if necessary) is definitely the way to go, but I don't believe blanking and redirecting is necessary. There are a number of potential citations online and on Wikipedia Library that could be used to help expand the article, and seven citations is pretty decent compared to some stubs which are kept with only three. I don't edit highway articles, but I stumbled across this conversation and thought I'd give my two cents. Cheers! Johnson524 08:25, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
We do not decide on notability here. Take it to AfD if you think this fails GNG. We are looking for arguments on if this meets the GA criteria, and if not, can it be improved to meet them, or should it be delisted. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 16:21, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Concur with Ritchie. Not every topic can have a good article on it; some topics just don't have sufficient coverage in reliable sources. This is one of them. BilledMammal (talk) 16:51, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delist. Agreed that this topic is self-evidently too shallow to qualify for GA, and the weak sourcing confirms it. I would also support redirecting.

2008 listing with Google Maps as a source. GabrielPenn4223 (talk) 03:27, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@GabrielPenn4223: not Google Maps, but rather Google Maps' satellite layer for the aerial imagery and only secondarily for some cross-street names. The primary source for the content of that paragraph is MDOT's Truck Operator's Map for the routing. Several dozen Featured Articles use a similar pairing of citations for their route descriptions without issue. If this is the only concern, the citation could be swapped out for the appropriate page in the DeLorme atlas & gazetteer of Michigan in about 30 seconds. Imzadi 1979 → 03:33, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure if it can be swapped out, but is Google Maps reliable in some cases? GabrielPenn4223 (talk) 08:30, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@GabrielPenn4223: yes, actually, it is. WP:GOOGLEMAPS states that there is no consensus on the reliability or the unreliability of the source after 7 linked discussions, so it's context dependent. It adds: "Google Maps and Google Street View may be useful for some purposes, including finding and verifying geographic coordinates and other basic information like street names." Please read the rest of my comments above though. The article uses an official MDOT map, in this case the Truck Operator's Map, which denotes unsigned as well as signed highways, and pairs that with the Google Maps citation for its satellite imagery for basic details. I've added citations to the DeLorme and Rand McNally atlases though, so everything in the route description is cited through that pairing just as it is through the MDOT+satellite footnote pairing. Imzadi 1979 → 08:44, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delist Despite addition of other maps, these do not show any independent coverage explaining why this should have an encyclopedia article, and doesn't expand on the political / engineering reasons for it. I checked some sources and couldn't find a reference to the number or the street names, though I assume I'm looking in the wrong place, so haven't tagged these.

I think the article needs to be reassessed on Good Article status. While the battle is probably notable, the article fails the Good Article criteria of being understandable to a wide audience and balanced in coverage. It cites a single primary source no less than 22 times and goes heavily into the minutia of the battle that is largely relevant to fans. It only has a couple of sentences about the battle's real-world relevance such as making money for CCP Games. It requires major cleanup to stress why the battle does not fail WP:INDISCRIMINATE and had long-term effects. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 18:47, 7 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"goes heavily into the minutia of the battle that is largely relevant to fans." As in, details what transpired in the battle? It's an article about a battle, that's literally going to be part of that. Granted, there's probably been some article creep over the years. I'll take a look through it.--3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 19:14, 7 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Just as an example from one of the initial paragraphs, "An enemy scout discovered Nulli Secunda quietly attempting to regain control with their Territorial Claim Units (TCU). At around 14:00 UTC, with an hour remaining before Nulli Secunda could regain control, the CFC and Russian coalition sent a capital fleet to the station. RAZOR Alliance took the station, and the Russians destroyed the N3/PL Territorial Claim Unit and set up its own TCU in order to establish control". The article doesn't previously explain what Nulli Secunda is besides "a part of the N3/Pandemic Legion coalition", what a Territorial Claim Unit actually is, or what RAZOR Alliance is. It's largely fanspeak that is impenetrable and uninteresting to the layperson. It should be written in the sense of "why would someone who has never played a video game find this particular video game battle interesting", whereas right now it's written in a sense of fans documenting things for other fans. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 19:24, 7 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Zxcvbnm, I've made some changes. What are your thoughts so far?--3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 16:10, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It has definitely been improved. Another thing I am concerned about is the article's use of Infobox Military Conflict to summarize the ingame battle. It is rather blatantly WP:INUNIVERSE. I suggest replacing with Template:Infobox event and moving any info that would not fit the template into the article. If that's also addressed, I will likely be partial to withdrawing the review on account of the issues being fixed. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 17:30, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nine years ago, I proposed the creation of an infobox for fictional and virtual conflicts, and it went nowhere. The military conflict editors said then that there wasn't a consensus that using the military conflict infobox was a problem. Years prior to that an editor had issues with the infobox being used for fictional conflicts in an alternate history book series, but consensus then, too, was that it wasn't actually a problem (I tried to find that discussion, it's buried now). So I'm not against using a different infobox if it's a fictional/virtual conflict, but whenever the issue has been brought up the consensus is that the miltary conflict infobox is fine.--3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 20:49, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, I found that other discussion: Module_talk:Infobox_military_conflict/Archive_3#Infobox_policy_and_fictional_conflicts.--3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 21:16, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well frankly, that's a fairly small WP:LOCALCONSENSUS whereas the general consensus is that in-universe language should be avoided. The military conflict infobox refers to losses as "casualties", which goes directly against the guidance not to refer to fictional characters as "deceased". I agree that an infobox for fictional battles is not necessary, as there are only a few articles on them, but I also don't believe a real-life military infobox should be substituted. Perhaps a "fictional event" box may be merited, but this also happened to be a real-life event, so use of the actual event box is perfectly warranted. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 21:26, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A 2009 promotion on the Sweeps listing that has accreted significant uncited text since promotion, much of which borders on original research. Most of what is cited is only cited to Herodotus, and the modern standard for these articles is to rely less heavily on the ancient sources. Hog Farm _Talk 18:23, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Expanding on this, the Manville section in "significance" is almost totally uncited and smells strongly of WP:UNDUEWEIGHT to me. The same is true of the even longer and highly essayistic Myres section, and the "In modern literature" section (is that really all of the cultural impact of the revolt?). On a less serious note, I am distinctly not wild about Tom Holland as the major secondary source behind Herodotus, nor the fact that the third-most-cited source is over a century old. Major cutting and reworking needed: I don't think it would be particularly difficult (all of the facts here should be easy enough to find in secondary literature), but I would delist in the absence of an editor willing to take that job on any time soon.

This 2010 addition relies on many user-published/unreliable sources. Spinixster (chat!) 10:01, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the notice on my talk page. I was the nominator of, and still am the primary contributor (72%) to this article, but I have not edited it in a number of years and took it off my watchlist and have no desire to return. Most of the article was sourced to newspaper stories and books, but yes I did use a few sources like Brucebase and a Usenet FAQ to fill things in. The irony is that those particular non-RS sites are often more careful and accurate about their subjects than sometimes carelessly-researched RS ones are. I don't know how up-to-date the article is ... besides touring with Bruce, I think he still does his Jukebox thing, but I don't know how many dates he plays, what kind of audience size he draws, what the reviews are like, anything like that. And I think he is still involved in some real estate/investment disputes? Not sure what else he's been involved with. So anyway, that's my perspective.

Are there any actual concerns with the content or writing?

On the worth of the GAR process and participating in it

You are free to jump, or not jump, jacobolus. You have spoken on the worth of the GA process ("Arguing about whether it ticks off some boxes on a made up checklist (a poor proxy for article quality) is a total waste of time.") and on your disinclination to engage with any part of it ("Let the bureaucrats take away the little green badge if they must"), so I really cannot see why you should care if other people decide to jump when I ask. Some have, many won't—life goes on. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 18:33, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This article is objectively "good" compared to the typical for Wikipedia articles. Instead of adding a bunch of perfunctory footnotes to arbitrarily chosen introductory textbooks that any curious reader can find for themself with about 1 minute of effort, it would be much more useful for you to find a currently mediocre article and work to get it to higher quality. The way you're doing this now is inducing a bunch of experienced and careful editors to spend a bunch of work on frankly marginal activities that are a relative waste of time; you and they would be doing more good for the Wikipedia project if they picked something (just about anything) else to work on. As another example, it looks like this kind of thing went a substantial distance toward exhausting User:XOR'easter's motivation; that alone is enough damage to more than counterbalance any good that will come of this whole exercise. –jacobolus (t) 18:54, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for telling me what I like to do with my free time. As it happens, I quite like doing this. I apologise if you find that objectionable jacobolus, but the consensus of the Wikipedia community is that it is a useful activity. If you feel that is not the consensus, you are free to propose deprecating the GA process at WP:VPR.

Incidentally, XOR was not the only one impacted by that GAR; its proposer was also considerably jaded, and stepped away from the site for a few months. I suspect it was more the peculiarities that discussion, rather than the process as a whole, which caused the casualties. I think we can agree in hoping that sort of thing won't happen again. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 19:08, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The problem is not what you are doing with your free time. The problem is that you are imposing unreasonable demands on other editors, asking them to devote a considerable amount of their own time and effort to cleaning up articles that should not be prioritized. If it is so important to you that these articles get cleaned up, then put some skin into the game. Put a few hours or weeks into sourcing each article yourself, before dragging it to GAR. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:22, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

David Eppstein, I prioritize these articles because they have this little green blob that Wikipedia have decided means the article meets a certain set of criteria, and thus I think (perhaps wrongly) that they should meet said criteria. If you are not willing to devote time and effort to making the articles meet the criteria, because you feel they should not be prioritized, simply let it be delisted. If you feel you don't currently have the time to "jump through made up hoops"—perfectly fair, you have done so 115 times already at WP:GAN—you can simply do so later and renominate it there. I hope you understand my reasoning. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 15:55, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You are entirely welcome to devote your own time to improving GA articles to meet your standards of what GA articles should be. However, what I see you doing instead is making work for other people by nominating article after article for review, without any evidence of putting effort into cleaning up those articles yourself first. It comes across as selfish and thoughtless. And the net effect has already been to drive authors away from the GAR process, as they were previously driven away from the FAR process, because rather than being something that one can do and move on, it turns into a never-ending time sink of pointless re-reviews. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:01, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes they are closely related. The point is that the process of taking a function f and associating to it its derivative (or second derivative etc.) is linear as well, which is why the solution spaces of homogeneous differential equations are vector spaces.

AirshipJungleman29 : please give an update on where specifically you think citations are needed. (I didn't check how many / which ones have been added very recently by Dedhert.Jr and maybe others).

- Hi Jakob.scholbach, the GA criterion 2b) has been modified so that all content that could be challenged and doesn't fall under WP:BLUESKY needs to be cited inline. See e.g. Descartes' theorem, currently at GAN, for something that does this well. I understand that you could see this as tiresome and/or pointless, but that is what the GA criteria ask for, and it is a lot easier than some articles which come to GAR needing to be entirely rewritten. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 12:46, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  @AirshipJungleman29 Correct me if I'm wrong. The GACR2b has been modified, stating that the article has no original research but rather covered with the verifiability in the reliable sources and citation inlines, with the exception that plot summary or explanation do not need to be sourced. However, some of the paragraphs are not plot summaries, or somewhat backgrounds to describe the highly technical topics. Should I added the citation-tag in this case?

  Jakob.scholbach, thanks very much for your work on the article so far. I have tagged a few places where inline citations would be helpful; please let me know if you think any of them fall under WP:CALC. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 22:38, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  I have removed to citation needed tags: in one case I decided to delete the paragraph containing it, because it was out of place there, in the other case (about addition of complex numbers) it was falling under WP:BLUESKY.
  
  For the other tags, I did supply references. Let me, however, state quite clearly that this kind of citation needed request is hardly a service to anyone on Wikipedia: it was in these cases a trivial matter to find the required assertion in the subarticles, or to pull up various sources at once. Notice how the references are often to the very first pages of some book, highlighting how strongly these assertions fall under the rubric "not-challengeable".
  
  AirshipJungleman29, with all respect to your principles about your work on GAN, I can't refrain from reiterating comments made by jacobolus and David Eppstein: I suggest we all spend our time on better things. Jakob.scholbach (talk) 14:14, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  Thank you very much for your work Jakob.scholbach; for myself, I will continue to work at GAR until the community decides to deprecate the process. It is not all I do on Wikipedia—see today's featured article on the main page—but I find this to be worthwhile in itself. You are welcome to decide whether you have better things to do than provide trivial citations in the future. Thank you also for your cordiality in your responses. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 19:57, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to be reviewing this article as part of the reassessment drive of all weather-related good articles.

Well-written/verifiable

The opening sentence could be stronger. Right now it reads as a bit of a run-on, with struck the towns of Windsor, Windsor Locks, and Suffield, Connecticut, and Feeding Hills, Massachusetts, on Wednesday, October 3, 1979. Perhaps one of the tornado's more notable characteristics could be included in the opening, like that it was one of the costliest single tornadoes in the US, or one of three F4's in CT?
In the infobox, the damage is formatted weirdly.
Were there exactly 500 injuries? The article says " Over 400 people were hospitalized", so where did the 500 come from?
You should have some sort of note that all times are in Eastern Daylight Time (presumably). That time zone is only mentioned in the infobox.
I think you should split the storm synopsis and the impact section. Right now, you have material in both sections.
"Eyewitness reports have the tornado ripping the roof off a grocery store in Wethersfield, Connecticut. Trees were uprooted in East Hartford, Connecticut. " - so did the tornado touch down in Wethersfield then?
"Students at a Brownie meeting were led into a hallway just before the auditorium they had been in was destroyed." - the wording could be stronger
The most severe damage occurred along River Road, Hollow Brook Road, Pioneer Drive and Settler Circle, where large frame houses were left "in splinters" - who said the quote "in splinters"?
The tornado moved north into Feeding Hills before dissipating near the Westfield city line, about five miles north of the Massachusetts state line. - source?
The Windsor Locks tornado, with $1.568 billion in damages (when adjusted for inflation) - what about unadjusted for inflation?
Also is the article title the best one? There has never been another tornado to hit Windsor Locks? ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 20:27, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Broad

The lead could be expanded a bit, it's probably too short as it is. Be sure to include damage total, deaths, injuries, and anything else notable about the tornado.
"The storm system that caused the tornado had produced severe weather, including two weak tornadoes, in eastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey that morning." - any way to expand on this? When did the LPA form? Also, since it starts out an entire section, you should probably mention the date.
Any impacts in Massachusetts?
This NY Times article mentions that $50 million in damage occurred to the Connecticut National Guard
Where was the third death?

Neutral/Stable/Illustrated

Definitely neutral/stable
The satellite image is fine, but I'm not sure about the impact picture. There are other images that can be used, say from Monthly Weather Review, to illustrate the path/damage reports. It's not up to Wikipedia to have images of damage from every tornado. So I don't think the fair use claim is valid here.

Citations

Is the Tornado Project a reliable enough source?
Several citations are broken.

The article is decent, but it just doesn't quite seem up to the standards of a modern-day GA. I'll leave the review open for a week and notify the GA nominator. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 20:27, 29 January 2024 (UTC) Copied from Talk:Windsor Locks, Connecticut, tornado; Please see that page for attribution.

Comments from WeatherWriter[edit]

I’m leaving two comments for others to reference from.

Related to Is the Tornado Project a reliable enough source? — Yes. Actually, last August during a GA review of Tornado outbreak of February 12, 1945, the exact same question came up. The Tornado Project is cited by the National Weather Service and is linked to by them in a more information page. (Further explanation on that GA review).

Sweet, thanks for verifying that. I'm not as familiar with tornadoes. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 20:20, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Related to the impact (damage) image and about Monthly Weather Review: Actually, I would disagree with the assessment by Hurricanehink on the fair-use image not being valid here. Monthly Weather Review was no longer owned/operated by the US government starting in 1974. Therefore, that article suggested by Hurricanehink from 1987 will not qualify at all for public domain/free-to-use images. Also, it is by the State University of New York, not US government, so that is very clearly not free-to-use images. Currently, there has not been any presentable free-to-use images related directly to the tornado (satellite image is of the supercell, not directly tornado), so the fair-use image claim is, as it stands now, entirely valid and should be treated as such for a GA review, or at least until a directly-related free-to-use image is added.

Result: Kept. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 19:07, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I chose this article since I knew there were issues previously. The article was reviewed in 2011, which was before the Atlantic hurricane reanalysis even reached 1949.

For starters, the article does establish notability, both as a deadly weather event, also as a rare crossover from Atlantic to Pacific, and it being the last hurricane to affect a major U.S. city for 34 years. So that's good. Now applying the GA criteria...

Well-written/verifiable

the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct; and it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation.

The opening sentence is on the bland side.
"$10 million (1949 USD$, 123 million 2024 USD). " - inconsistent formatting
" It is relatively rare for a tropical cyclone to cross from the Pacific into the Atlantic, or vice versa, and this storm is among less than a dozen known to have officially done so." -

That does not appear to be accurate according to the source listed. Even Wikipedia's own article on the crossover cyclones has more than 12.

"equivalent to upper-end Category 2—almost Category 3—intensity" - no mention of Saffir-Simpson scale
There's also no mention of the longstanding belief that the hurricane was originally assessed to have been a Category 4 hurricane, until Atlantic hurricane reanalysis
" The storm is one of a relatively few October hurricanes to either impact or make landfall in Texas." - the total is five, according to List of Atlantic hurricanes, but I don't have a proper source offhand
"Two deaths were attributed to the storm: a resident of Port Neches who was electrocuted, and a young woman who drowned in Matagorda Bay." - this almost feels like an afterthought, being at the end of the impact section, even though that seems like the most significant form of impact.

Broad

There is a lot more from the reanalysis that could help flesh out the MH. For instance, its origins (coming from Hurricane 9's remnants, plus a tropical wave).
The lead, and the article by extension, doesn't talk about the 1949 Eastern Guatemalan floods at all. Considering it was a tropical cyclone while moving through the country from September 28th to the 29th, and that the 1949 Eastern Guatemalan floods has sources mentioning that time period as the start of a period of heavy rainfall leading to deadly floods, then I think we can word something in the impact section that avoids being original research, while also mentioning the storm's role. That would also cut down on US-bias by mentioning more impacts out of the country.
Texas seems to have a fair amount of information, although there isn't much depth. There weren't even any mentions of power outages or damaged houses.
Also, there isn't anything outside of Texas, as far as impact. Anything in Louisiana where there was heavy rainfall? Illinois NWS mentions heavy rainfall in the southern portion of the state, and WPC has a rainfall map for the hurricane. There was a lot of rainfall in Arkansas, so there could've been effects there.
Following the storm, thousands of automobiles in six states were affected by widespread peeling and blistering paint. The blisters, usually concentrated on the hoods, fenders and tops of vehicles, contained a small amount of water, and peeling paint was also reported on one Shreveport home. Most of the cars damaged were parked outside, and sheltered automobiles were unaffected. Although total damage from the phenomenon may have reached thousands of dollars, experts were unable to identify its cause immediately following the storm.

That seems like excessive detail, relative to other material that seems to be missing.

Neutral/Stable/Illustrated

Yup. The article doesn't present any signficant bias.
The article has been around for quite some time, it is stable.
The article has two images, both are in the public domain. I don't believe the track map has been updated with the new colors, however.

Citations

They look good. The only small thing is that the Hydrometeorological Prediction Center is now the Weather Prediction Center.

Hi, AirshipJungleman29, thanks for the politely written nudge and good you did so because tbh I got a bit frustrated not being able to find sources for the remaining citations needed a few days ago and had given up. This evening though, using different search terms has, I hope you agree, proved productive. The only one remaining is Beacon Hill Cemetery — I've added two citations to the first paragraph which support the specific Lundy content but the last bit kind of draws parallels and I can't locate a specific source, so haven't removed the citation needed tag but will leave to your discretion as to whether it is still required.

While this article isn't in the worst state ever, I've questioned the GA status on it for a while now. My issues with the article include the Gameplay section consisting of some pretty faulty sourcing, the Plot section having weird writing, a completely separate section for a seemingly trivial advertisement controversy, and several smaller bits of the article not having any sourcing at all (ex. nothing in the article verifies the game as being considered one of the best of all time, and sourcing the Wikipedia list isn't an acceptable means of verification.)

I personally feel this article to fall more in line with a C-Class article than a GA at this current point in time, though I do think that if someone were to really put in the effort, it could be whipped into shape. λ NegativeMP1 05:51, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Uncited prose, including the entire "Painting" and most of the "Literature" sections. It has a good structure, but it needs a topic-subject expert to go through to cite or remove the uncited sections. Z1720 (talk) 14:22, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Adding to this, a few scattered thoughts:

The "Fall in the West" section is very out of step with a complex and fast-moving scholarly field. It's been decades since one could respectably write a narrative that begins and ends with invasions of nasty foreigners with beards.
The same is true of the article as a whole, I'd suggest: it reads like it was written by "fans" of the empire rather than people with a real background in its academic study.
The Languages section is also pretty outdated in its treatment of "vulgar Latin" and non-treatment of other Italic languages.
The "Society" section is pretty rose-tinted, put mildly. Again, most treatments of Roman society in the last few decades have not shied away from the general brutality and unpleasantness of it.
The article seems chronologically confused: it's theoretically about Rome post 27 BCE or so, but occasionally lapses into talking about the mid Republic, centuries earlier.
The Freedmen section needs to at least acknowledge the existence of women.
The "census rank" section gets bogged down in the idea of the ordines (which included only a minute fraction of the population), and then tries, not very successfully, to talk more broadly about social class and mobility. There's also a lot of chronological confusion and imprecision, where situations that changed over time (such as labels like honestiores or conversion to Christianity) are presented as if always part of Roman life.
This thing is a monster! I know it's a big topic, but it definitely needs hacking up and shrinking down.
There are a number of points where complex debates are reduced to one side of them, and cited to a single source. The Empire is best thought of as a network of regional economies, based on a form of "political capitalism" in which the state regulated commerce to assure its own revenues (cited to Potter) sticks out: it's not necessarily wrong, but at the moment the article is far too confident in its conclusions and often badly devoid of nuance, and will give the reader a false impression that ancient history is nicely settled and clear-cut.
The "Legacy" section makes some rather odd choices as to what to focus on and leave out.
More generally, and related: I don't think this article really knows what sets it apart from Ancient Rome: there's a lot here that's really about "the Romans" in general, rather than the specific material the article claims to cover.
Citing Luttwak makes me sad.

UndercoverClassicist ^T·C 17:34, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with all of these comments, except as to the size of the article. There's no just way to cover everything that is relevant with the Roman empire without it being very long. Ifly6 (talk) 20:41, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I feel paring it down to focus on the Empire as opposed to Ancient Rome in general will solve the length problem. Generalissima (talk) 21:22, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

All good observations. This article deserves not just an general update, but for someone to drive it to FA status.

If any one decides to take on this challenge and upgrade this article I'll support you. I intend on spending most of this year reading sources as I work on the FAR of the Byzantine Empire and can offer my (unprofessional) perspective on modern scholarship where it overlaps. Biz (talk) 07:00, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have long said that the Roman Empire article is impossible to write within the parameters of Wikipedia. Here are some thoughts from a long-time contributor who worked on an overhaul ten years ago (at that time, the key was to get a more comprehensive outline structure) and whose doctoral work is in classical studies.

Length. The current article is indeed too long. Most sections that have their own main article, such as "Languages", are far too long and detailed. When some of the sections were sketched in ten years ago, there were no main articles for those topics. It's a harder writing task than you might think to offer both clear broad statements that are useful to the wide range of visitors to this article in combination with some concrete details that bring those to life. Maybe we should just link them to the Jason Momoa SNL video and be done with it.
The dangers of recentism. Classical studies is not a field in which older work is discarded. It isn't like either the sciences (where older ideas are actually proven wrong and progress is made) or, say, literary studies (the latter meant to continually renew the vitality of texts for current readers). What you find in classics, because it's inherently multidisciplinary, is that areas of focus within the field change over time, so that research on some topics may be concentrated during certain decades, like republican prosopography in the Ronald Syme era. All that work is still valuable and perceptive; classicists took up other questions and other approaches. I have read some awfully lightweight published articles lately by newborn classicists in which I could immediately spot internal contradictions and research gaps that make me wonder what's happening in the field—support for the humanities in the US is drying up, of course. Still good work in English from the UK but more so from younger multilingual European scholars. Anyway, in classical studies the date of publication is not a measure of the depth or value of research, though archaeology and text retrieval (as of Philodemus from Herculaneum) continually provide new resources to build on.
Neutrality. Neither rosy nor brutal should be the aim. If you go in thinking "my job is to show just how nasty the Roman Empire really was," then that's as detrimental a mindset as wanting to wear a toga and lie about on couches eating grapes. Scholarship is about trying to understand what the Romans were about in relation to their own time and to the world as they received, entered, and reshaped it. If anything, scholarship in the last decade has moved away from the "Romans bad" agenda.
Audience. This article gets high traffic. What do visitors come for? My occupation IRL is book editing. At least half of all compositional problems in nonfiction can be solved by putting yourself in the shoes of the average reader.

This 2007 Good article has multiple unsourced statements (failing criteria 2) and prose issues, such as puffery, which means this article does not meet WP:NPOV. Spinixster (chat!) 10:09, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Result: Overwhelming consensus to delist. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 21:31, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This 2009 listing contains significant uncited material, meaning it does not meet GA criterion 2b). There are also problems with criterion 3b), as the article doesn't know what it is about and is overloaded with tangents on the lives of individual Hispanic Marines, and criterion 4), as the wikivoice tone is distinctly non-neutral.

I am additionally unsure whether the article really meets the notability criteria, but that is not within the purview of GAR. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 19:23, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Many of these articles are essentially train wrecks. I've been involved with a few, and there's always a great deal of work involved getting them into shape. Typically you have to check every citation and source, since they are often either misused or misrepresented. Here's an example of one that's similar. Getting this to GAR will take some serious work.

Delist per nom. Schierbecker (talk) 01:04, 14 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as is - This is a Good article which has 156 reliable sources to back up it's content. The article in itself is important to the Hispanic community whose contributions to the United States and the world in general have often been overlooked or ignored in the history books and so on. Tony the Marine (talk) 02:13, 14 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delist per nom and my earlier note. Getting this article up to standard will take a great deal of work, and if past experience is any indicator that work won't get done. I don't disagree about the importance of the subject itself, but the topic deserves much better than what we see here. Intothat darkness 12:55, 14 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delist lead isn't written in an encyclopaedic manner. Traumnovelle (talk) 04:46, 16 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delist per nom and Into the Darkness. Neither I nor anyone else who has comment is suggesting that the article be removed, only that the classification be lowered unless more work than is likely to be done is both promised and done promptly. If one or more editors want to put in the work to fix the apparent problems after delisting, and maybe to split it into more than one article, it can be nominated for another GA assessment. Donner60 (talk) 08:27, 16 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delist as per previous noms. This article may have been deemed GA back in 2009, but GA criteria has tightened up considerably since then. It is now a long way from current GA standards and a lot of work is needed to bring it up to scratch. Zawed (talk) 09:29, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This 2007 listing contains significant uncited material near the start and end of the body, meaning it does not meet GA criterion 2b); it is also overloaded by images (and tagged accordingly) but that is not part of the GA criteria. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 19:40, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think that the article is quite sufficient and don't think it should be removed, but hey, I might be wrong.

Cheers, Arotparaarms (talk) 22:05, 14 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well it should be. Many, many dead/unreliable links. The History section is nearly entirely unsourced. However, I did notice that the generation sections (eg #VS (1995–1997)) were nearly fully sourced (however, are the sources reliable? No. Arotparaarms, could you read the GA criteria please? I realised you randomly listed Chevrolet Volt (first generation) as a GA when I nominated it without even taking a look. Please take some time. 750h+ (talk) 00:45, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Though I am not well-informed on this particular topic, it is obvious that this article needs work to remain a good article. There are several uncited paragraphs in the article and some of the information is out-of-date. However, it should be relatively easy to restore the article to good article status in the near future.

A 2009 GA promotion on the new Sweeps listing, this older good article has had uncited text creep in the Transport and Sports sections. In addition, chunks of the article has become out of date, such as the demographics section being reliant on the 2001 census when two censuses have been done since then and references to changes in housing prices as of 2005.

Many uncited paragraphs and an uncited "Concerts" section (which I think can be removed). Also, there is disorganised structuring with information about architecture in the "History" section and the "Stadium usage" section should probably be merged with "History".
