Wikipedia's peer review process is a way to receive ideas and feedback from other editors about articles. An article may be nominated by any user, and will appear on the list of all peer reviews. Other users can comment on the review. Peer review may be used for potential good article nominations, potential featured article candidates, or an article of any "grade". Peer review is a useful place to centralise a review from other editors about an article, and may be associated with a WikiProject; and may also be a good place for new Wikipedians to receive feedback on how an article is looking.
Peer reviews are open to any feedback, and users requesting feedback may also request more specific feedback. Unlike formal nominations, editors and nominators may both edit articles during the discussion. Compared to the real world peer review process, where experts themselves take part in reviewing the work of another, majority of the volunteers here, like most editors in Wikipedia, lack expertise in the subject at hand. This is a good thing, it can make technically-worded articles more accessible to the average reader. Those looking for such expert input should consider inviting editors from the subject-wise volunteers list or notifying at relevant WikiProjects.
To request a review, or nominate an article for a review see the instructions page. Users are limited to requesting one review at any one time, and are encouraged to help reduce the backlog by commenting on other articles. Any user may comment on a review, and there is no requirement that any comments may be acted on.
A list of all current peer reviews, with reviewer's comments included, can be found here. For easier navigation, a list of peer reviews, without the reviews themselves included, can be found here. A chronological peer reviews list can be found here.

I've listed this article for peer review because… this article has recently been promoted to a GA and I would like to attempt to promote this to an FA sometime in the future. I would greatly appreciate constructive advice. Thank you in advance! Aoba47 (talk) 18:19, 21 July 2016 (UTC)

Just created this article over the last few weeks and am curious to get an outside opinion on it. Would like to nominate for GA, if others think that it's up to snuff. The article is fairly short, but considering that it's about a short film, length probably isn't much of an issue. The important points are covered. A little more production info would be nice, but I just don't think that are any more readily accessible sources to draw from, so hopefully what's included will suffice.

I've listed this article for peer review because the artist just had a large exhibition in Amsterdam and there was no article yet to be found on Wikipedia about her. So please have a look at it.
Thanks, Kvdstelt (talk) 09:56, 20 July 2016 (UTC)
- One paragraph? The English needs tweaking, but is comprehensible. An image, of a work discussed enough to justify fair use, would help. Johnbod (talk) 13:47, 21 July 2016 (UTC)
- Comments from Aoba47
- @Kvdstelt: First, I would like to say that it is great that you created a page about this artist. I always think it is wonderful to see users expand the content on here. As Johnbod has stated before me, this article requires a rather large amount of expansion. I would highly recommend that you read through the "Tips for writing biographies", which can be found here, and look at other articles about artists for guidance on structure and other matters.
- There should be at least a section covering her "Early life" prior to the start of her artistic career and a section tracking her professional career. A section informing the reader about her artistic style would be helpful if there is enough reliable sources/scholars/art critics that have commented on it to support this. An infobox would also be very help (or just an image of the artist if you are opposed to using infoboxes for whatever reason.) An image of one of her works would also be very helpful. The two things you should focus on is 1) expansion as this article is still in the very early stages of development and 2) look to other articles for guidance on how to expand. Hopefully, you find this helpful. Aoba47 (talk) 20:28, 21 July 2016 (UTC)

- Redtigerxyz's comments
Comparing with GA Shahid Kapoor
- This article is a WP:QUOTEFARM. Use the quotes even if the same can not be said by a paraphrase.
- The text is repetitive in some places: "He next starred in Anwar Rasheed's Ustad Hotel (2012) in which he starred alongside Thilakan and Nithya Menen".
- State the following facts about each of his roles: Film name, year, 1-liner summary of his character and the plot, any special efforts to essay the character (e.g. "For the role, he shaved his head and learned to speak in a Kashmiri dialect" from Shahid article), reviews, commercial success/fail, awards.
- "becoming the first ever actor to receive the award two times in the same category" is not supported by the reference.
- Each reference should have this minimum info: Author, date, Web link (if any), Publisher/Newspaper (e.g. The Hindu).
- Example where missing: "Anchu Sundarikal Movie Review". The Times Of India.
- Not sure if filmbeat.com is a RS.--Redtigerxyz Talk 11:25, 19 July 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks for the comment Redtigerxyz! I am working on it. Could you give me other instances where the text is repetitive? Also, I believe Filmibeat is a reliable source. It was used in Loham. Expecting your help further. JosephJames 13:41, 19 July 2016 (UTC)
- Repetitive text examples:
- "Dulquer's performance was appreciated"
- "was a commercial failure/success"
- "The film garnered critical acclaim and became Dulquer's fifth consecutive commercial success in two years"; 2 problems:
- "fifth consecutive commercial success in two years" is not supported by ref
- The ref only talks about week 1 collections, which can be used to proclaim it a hit overall.--Redtigerxyz Talk 17:37, 19 July 2016 (UTC)

- Comments from Laser brain
Lead
- "Moreover, Björk co-produced every song on the album." Suggests she did not do so on previous albums. Is that correct?
- I see a mix of spaced and unspaced em dashes, along with at least one em dash followed by a colon. Please review style guidelines at WP:EMDASH.
- "the album is considered an important exponent of art pop, avant-pop and experimental pop." Art pop seems supported here, but you're suggesting the album is an important exponent of each of these genres. You mention avant-pop only once in the body, and the source given calls the album an "avant-pop wonderland" in the title only. That genre is neither defined nor mentioned in the cited article. I'm not too much of a stickler for genres, but you want to limit the ammunition you give genre warriors to argue with.
- Don't hypenate "fast-pace" unless using it as an adjective like "fast-paced".
- "The clips that accompanied every single heavily aided Björk's success" I'm not sure what you mean here by "clips". Do you mean music videos?
Back with more later. --Laser brain (talk) 17:25, 20 July 2016 (UTC)

My only concern is that the current article uses too many quotes. I have often been criticized for doing that. Also, I would remove Sora's new outfit big quote with another more important for an article.Tintor2 (talk) 02:05, 10 July 2016 (UTC)
- I think that's definitely do-able. If Judge doesn't get to this, I'll definitely work on cutting back the quotes. I also have ideas to remove the Sora's outfit quote and work into the section, outside of using the quote box. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 06:06, 10 July 2016 (UTC)
- I've reduced the amount of quotes in the article. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 04:05, 18 July 2016 (UTC)
- Dev section could have less dateline. Connect the events in narrative form instead of plopping them next to each other in "In year X, happened Y" format czar 04:10, 17 July 2016 (UTC)
- I read through the section and didn't really see a way to avoid that. After the first paragraph, all the content included is important to know when it was said/revealed/announced etc for context on what was being said. I'm open to suggestions for fixing it if you have thoughts. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 03:44, 18 July 2016 (UTC)

This is the second peer review for this article. After the first peer review, I brought the article to FAC—Wikipedia:Featured_article_candidates/Title_TK/archive1—but one editor identified that the article needed more work outside of FAC. I have used that editor's feedback to polish the article as much as possible. Of course, I look forward to all other editors' feedback as well. Thank you very much. Moisejp (talk) 04:45, 23 June 2016 (UTC)
Comments: Sorry for the delay here, I haven't forgotten but life is hectic at the moment!
- Just had another look at the lead and I wonder could the order be changed a little. It reads a little oddly to start with the groups problems. What about a structure that goes more like:
- Paragraph 1: Release, sales, reviews (?), meaning of name
- Paragraph 2: Background and recording (maybe split into two paragraphs?)
- Paragraph 3: Songs
- For me, that would be a more logical order.
- Before, I had a problem with some of the comments on the music from reviewers. We have "stark arrangements and unpredictable musical embellishments, and a relaxed, unpolished feel" in the lead, and this is the kind of thing I had the problem with. My reasons are simply that I think the general reader would find this hard to interpret. It may be common music-speak, but if this made it to the main page, what would someone think when they read it? I'm pretty sure that I know what "stark arrangements" would mean, but it implies some judgement. We need to say something like their wasn't much instrumentation, but in a more elegant way than I just did! Similarly, "unpredictable musical embellishments" reads very vaguely. I'm not too sure what it means, and I have a slight musical background. It sounds like it might be flourishes, or syncopation, or something, but I think we need to be more precise so that there is no doubt. The same for "a relaxed unpolished feel". Again, what does this mean? How can music be relaxed in an encyclopaedic sense? We must remember that we need a professional, encyclopaedic tone, and for me, these kind of comments, even when coming from reviews, doesn't quite hit the mark.
- I will look more when time permits, but I will be back soon! Sarastro1 (talk) 21:03, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
Thank you, Sarastro1. I will see how far I can get with this in the coming days, and let you know if I need further advice on these particular points. Cheers, Moisejp (talk) 06:40, 2 July 2016 (UTC)

- Hi Sarastro1, I have made changes based on your suggestions for far, including reorganizing the lead, and rewording "stark arrangements" and "unpredictable musical embellishments" (in both the lead and the main text). I ended up just removing "relaxed, unpolished feel" for now. The phrase had been meant to encompass some slightly different concepts by a couple of writers, but for at least one of them, I think there is overlap with the ideas of "minimal instrumentation" and "All Wave" ideals, which are already covered in the article. Let me know if any of my changes don't wok for you, and I look forward to your next batch of suggestions. Cheers, Moisejp (talk) 11:34, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
More: Sorry for the long delay. The lead looks much, much better to me. I've done another copy-edit on it, but please revert anything you don't like. I've also done some copy-editing later on as far as the end of "subsequent recording". I'll stop there and see what you think. Feel free to shout at me and revert anything you don't like. It's looking good overall so far. Sarastro1 (talk) 13:05, 20 July 2016 (UTC)
Hi Sarastro1. Thank you very much for the copy-edit. I was really happy with most of your changes. I made some minor changes to your edits that I hope are acceptable to you (let me know if any aren't, and we can discuss these bits more). Besides these, there were two or three sentences that were nice edits but that unfortunately don't match the sources perfectly. I would like to think about these for a couple of days and try to come back to you with some good alternatives. Thanks again! Moisejp (talk) 05:36, 21 July 2016 (UTC)

- Passing Comment
As much as I would have liked to help review this I don't seem to have the time currently. As it stands at present, it is way too detailed and trivial in places. I'll see if I can help with certain sections, but you could try inviting editors who are familiar with editing related articles to help in PR. NumerounovedantTalk 07:31, 24 June 2016 (UTC)
- General comments from DAP
The skeleton is certainly there. Balanced POV, references are correctly formatted, and the prose is tight and polished. Certainly very near GA quality if not at it, and not too far off from satisfying the FA criteria. Well done on that note!
With that being said, I echo Numerounovedant's sentiments. The most glaring issue facing this article is its size. At over 193 KB, it is much too big. There's too much trivia and it looks more like an attempt at completeness, which Wikipedia articles should not aim to do. The article needs a good trim, and especially so if you intend on prepping it for an FA review. Unfortunately I do not have the time to complete a comprehensive review, but hopefully these general comments will get you somewhere to start. At first glance:
-
- By far most of the trivia I've observed in the article is the "Personal life" section. Individual subsections about Ben's rehab stints, ancestry, and so forth are completely unnecessary. The only things of note in that section should be about his family, relationships, and religion, and perhaps gambling since he played professionally. You could perhaps mention his ancestry in the "Early life" section, in no more than a sentence or two.
- Much of the article's immense size is due to its 527 references. Not even the longest featured article has that many references. Not every possible referenced fact needs to be in the parent article.
- Likewise, there is a lot of irrelevant information in the "Early life" section that detracts from the subject matter. There's no reason to go in depth about Affleck's grandfather or dedicate an entire paragraph to his father.
@Popeye191: I hope I was able to help. Feel free to ask me any questions. Good luck! DAP 💅 23:43, 17 July 2016 (UTC)

I've listed this article for peer review because… I have been re-writing the article for months now (since Nov 2015) and I'd like suggestions for further improvement to possibly get the article to GA status.
Thanks, κατάσταση 23:21, 3 June 2016 (UTC)
- Good use of general audience tone, overall, but why is the plot twice the length of the gameplay? Should be put into proportion. Also the reviews should be paraphrased—they should include quotations only when the language cannot possibly be put adequately in your own words. You can probably find more historic reviews in an academic/newspaper database. Watch for consistency in CyberFlix CamelCase. Publications and works in citations should be wikilinked whenever possible. Might do well to get a WP:GOCE copyedit. czar 18:09, 4 June 2016 (UTC)
- @Czar: Thanks for the details. Any suggestions of a database to find more historic reviews? I always have a difficult time locating sources in print. If you could also suggest an academic database to find more sources on the development, that would be much appreciated. CyberFlix (with capital F) seems to be the correct form from sources and the game itself. About the plot, the game has a lengthy and relatively complex storyline, so I doubt it's possible to keep it as short as the Gameplay section. I'll try to trim as much as possible, but some significant details might be left out. κατάσταση 18:17, 4 June 2016 (UTC)
- There's no one-stop shop for reviews of older games, but you'll want to check the PC/Mac mags of the day, wherever they are archived and/or indexed. MobyGames is generally the place to start for older reviews. If none are listed, you can try searching the OCR'd magazines uploaded to the Internet Archive. Then you hit the academic databases (use the fire hose)—LexisNexis, EBSCOhost, ProQuest—especially for historical newspapers, to see what kind of coverage it got in papers outside of dedicated magazines. czar 19:33, 6 July 2016 (UTC)
- @Czar: Currently using HighBeam to find newspaper coverage. I searched gaming mags at archive.org but I haven't found significant reviews so far. Will continue looking though. Thanks for the tips. κατάσταση 20:04, 18 July 2016 (UTC)

This project took about a few years in the making (with some breaks due to real-life situations) and the first peer review was withdrawn because of that Richard Wagner PR for FA. Now, I've listed this article for peer review again because I am planning to take the article to FAC and would appreciate comments to improve it further.

Has the literature been re-consulted since the last review? I note that FAC requires a "thorough and representative survey of the relevant literature". The French article (promoted to FA in early 2016) seems much more comprehensive than this article at present, and seems to have some English-language sources that this article does not, such as "Heart of Japaneseness". --211.30.17.74 (talk) 22:43, 3 June 2016 (UTC)
- Not yet, as I was busy with other things actually. Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 13:41, 4 June 2016 (UTC)
Thanks. The citation style varies widely in the article, and images do not have Wikipedia:Alternative text for images. What makes the HSC source a reliable source? At present, the article needs more depth - for example, there is no section on the music album associated with Spirited Away, although it has apparently attracted some critical attention in the British Film Institute's film classics entry on Spirited Away. --211.30.17.74 (talk) 08:31, 5 June 2016 (UTC)

One comment: why is there a picture of a place that has been proven not to have been an inspiration for the film? Perhaps it deserves a brief mention in the prose if this is a common misconception, but showing an image of something that has nothing to do with the film seems inappropriate to say the least.

A setting of Japanese poetry to modernist French music.
I've just made a translation of this article from the French FA. I don't pretend I have a native-level undertanding of French, nor expertise in classical music terminology, and would appreciate help cleaning things up. I probably won't nominate the article for FA, but still aim to bring it to that level of quality.
I've also corrected a couple of errors in the original, removed some PEACOCKery, and have tried to track down the original Japanese versions of the poems—I haven't had luck with threetwo of them, one of which (purportedly by Matsuo Bashō) has stumped others looking for it as well.
Thanks, Curly Turkey 🍁 ¡gobble! 03:29, 26 May 2016 (UTC)
Hi CT. I wanted to help you find the one of the missing Akiko Yosano poem but unfortunately was unsuccessful. At first I thought this [[1]] was her complete works, and searched it for key words such as 秋 and 月 but unfortunately no poems came up that seemed to match the French. (Now looking at the title more closely, I think it may only be her complete "psalms", not necessarily her complete works, and from skimming the introduction I think it says poems were selected for the book—hence, again, not her complete works I guess.) I'm including the link here in case the poem actually is in there and I just missed it. But my other suggestion is, I see you live in Japan, have you tried your library system there for other of her poetry compilations that you could look for the poem in (i.e., even if not in your local library, maybe you can order some of her books from other libraries). That's what I would try if I were in your shoes. Good luck! Moisejp (talk) 05:10, 6 July 2016 (UTC)
- Moisejp: Sorry, somehow I missed your comment until just now. Thanks for looking! I think I'll have to look into inter-library loans (never done one in Japan before). Curly Turkey 🍁 ¡gobble! 23:12, 19 July 2016 (UTC)

My first FAC attempt on an American actress. Would be glad to receive constructive criticism on how to strengthen the article. Thanks, Krimuk|90 (talk) 04:01, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
I know nothing about Jessica Chastain, so these will probably be mainly comments on style/prose.
Lead:
- "Chastain is reticent to publicly discuss aspects of her troubled childhood.": I can't explain why, but this sounds wrong. "Chastain is reticent about aspects of her troubled childhood" or "Chastain is reluctant to publicly discuss aspects of her troubled childhood" would both be OK, but "reticent to discuss" just sounds incorrect.
- "gained her an Academy Award for Best Actress nomination": per WP:SURPRISE I would reword this to "gained her a nomination for Best Actress at the 2012 Academy Awards". As it is, I thought on my initial reading that she had won the Oscar until I got to the word "nomination", which is jarring.
- "Chastain is the recipient of several accolades, including a Golden Globe Award and has been nominated for two Academy Awards and two British Academy Film Awards.": Too much "and"ing here. I would write something like "Chastain is the recipient of several accolades including a Golden Globe; she has also been nominated for two Academy Awards and two British Academy Film Awards" to avoid the repetition of "and".
Early life and background:
- "Her parents were both teenagers when she was born, and while reticent to publicly discuss this aspect of her childhood, was estranged from Monasterio and has claimed that no father is listed on her birth certificate." A few things here:
-
- this "reticent to" construction again.
- we know from the lead that it is Chastain who is reticent about this, but in this sentence it is unclear who "reticent" is referring to.
- There are two sources given for this sentence. One is cited to the Telegraph, but is actually in the Independent, and doesn't appear to back up any of the sentence whatsoever; the other supports that no father is listed on her birth certificate ("has claimed" seems to me to imply a doubt (see WP:CLAIM) which is not backed up by the source, however. "has said" would be more neutral.). Neither support the claim that she is reluctant to discuss her biological father.
Career:
- "Having struggled for a breakthrough in film for a number of years, the year 2011 was noteworthy for Chastain. She had six film releases that year and gained wide acclaim and recognition for her roles in several of them." This can just be one sentence, something like "After struggling for a breakthrough in film for a number of years, in 2011 Chastain had six releases, gaining widespread aclaim and recognition for her roles in several of them." The "the year was noteworthy" is just unnecessary editorialising.
- "which she filmed back in 2008." this reads as colloquial/informal to my ear; I would put "which she had filmed in 2008" or "which had been filmed in 2008".
- "the film premiered at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival to a polarizing reception from the audience". I suspect it was the film which was polarizing; the reception would have been polarized (or simply "mixed"!).
- "...and eventually won the Palme d'Or prize." I don't think "eventually" or "prize" are necessary in this sentence. "...and won the Palme d'Or" is fine.
- "which marked the third installment of the lucrative Madagascar franchise". "which marked" is unnecessary, I suspect "lucrative" is too.
- "Zero Dark Thirty received critical acclaim but was controversial for its depiction of enhanced interrogation techniques". "enhanced interrogation techniques" is a non-neutral euphemism. The article also masks the fact that the film was not so much controversial for its depiction of torture per se as the fact that it portrays torture as "valuable in finding Bin Laden" when it wasn't. I suggest something like "was controversial for portraying torture as effectively contributing to the search for Osama Bin Laden, which Glenn Greenwald called a 'false assertion'".
- The subsection on 2014-15 is subtitled "success in science-fiction films", but discusses only two scifi films versus 3 non-scifi films, and the only one of the five films to get an entire paragraph to itself is A Most Violent Year, not one of the scifi films.

- Caeciliusinhorto So sorry about this. I was on a long vacation and completely forgot about the peer review. Thank you so much for taking the time out to comment here. I've addressed all your concerns except the last one about the section header. I've named it "success in science-fiction films" because two of her most successful films were of that genre, even though she did gain praise for her dramatic roles. Do you recommend something else?

After four unsuccessful FA nominations, I've decided to list this article for peer review. Although I do think the article is in top shape, feedback was limited in said nominations, and thus I was left unsure of what to do to meet the FA criteria. I would like some feedback and to perhaps build a rapport so as to bring attention to a future FAC.
Thanks in advanced, DAP388 (talk) 03:31, 10 May 2016 (UTC)
- General comments by Aoba47
-
- I am a little uncertain about this statement in the lead: “cited as one of the strongest dramas on television” as it is somewhat ambiguous. This phrasing makes it sound like critics viewed the show as one of the strongest television dramas of all time, but I am not sure if that actually matches the reviews. I would suggest clarifying this by saying: “one of the strongest dramas on the 2014 television season” or something like that.
- I would clarify the “religion” in the phrase “The season explores masculinity and religion” as Christianity just to be clear since the show seems to be referring to one specific type of religion.
- I would suggest turning “Home media release” into its own section as it does not make much sense to place it under the larger “Production” heading. I would advise moving this under the “Reception” section as I have seen done on numerous FA articles about television seasons.
- For the first sentence of the second paragraph in the “Casting and crew” subsection, clarify that Harrelson was brought on to play the role of Martin Hart.
- Add a comma between “by April 2012” and “the network had comissioned”
- For the “Music” section, I would suggest including information about how a soundtrack was released featuring songs from Seasons One and Two.
- The “Themes and influences” section is very strong and informative!
- It may be helpful to expand add a short and concise sentence or addition on how the season finale was inspired by Top 10.
- ”so too did Michael Star” sounds a little awkward to me and I would recommend finding a strong transition or connector, but it may just be me.
- In this phrasing “ an unconventional move given the show's format and fierce competition”, I would suggest clarifying that the format is referring to the show’s structure as an anthology. I was a little confused when first reading this until I read the source.
- I would suggest expanding the second paragraph of the “Accolades” section. The final sentence is not referenced. While the table may support this information, I think you need to add prose to support this as well.
- @DAP388: I have written a few suggestions above. I am not that experienced on Wikipedia so definitely take my comments with a large grain of salt. This article is already very good so I only have minor comments to add here. I am sorry to hear about the lack of participation on your previous FAC attempts and during this peer review. I am honestly surprised as this is a very well done page. Hopefully, it attracts more feedback in the future. Aoba47 (talk) 18:57, 7 July 2016 (UTC)
- @Aoba47: first and foremost thank you for taking the time to provide some feedback. Regardless of being new, any constructive assessment/critique is appreciated! Hopefully come next time, it will pass the FA review. Cheers! DAP388 (talk) 22:25, 7 July 2016 (UTC)
- @DAP388: Thank you for the kind words and good luck with this article in the future! I look forward to seeing be nominated for FAC in the future and I will definitely provide feedback on that as well. Aoba47 (talk) 01:29, 8 July 2016 (UTC)

One of the most iconic pieces of applied art ever designed in Britain. I've been working for the last couple of months to get it to Good Article status, which Sainsf awarded it just this morning, and I'm looking to move on to Featured Article status shortly (unlike Garamond, which I've put on hold for FA due to need to get some better images, I think the sourcing here is probably complete enough to move forward). Advice on content or formatting much welcomed. I'm going to ping @Cassianto:, @Tim riley:, @Brianboulton: and @Ealdgyth: as people recommended to me by Casliber to discuss on the Garamond peer review project. Also @Tphinney:, @Stewf: - any thoughts?
Thanks, Blythwood (talk) 11:20, 2 May 2016 (UTC)
I have only two suggestions:
- You should rearrange the illustrations so that slabs of text are not sandwiched between them. With so many different shapes and sizes of screen now in common use it is impossible to please everybody with your placement of images, but keep them to one side or other of the text as best you can, rather than on both sides at once.
- There is a clunky tabloid-style false title in the lead:"from calligrapher and lettering artist Edward Johnston...". Adding a definite article will solve the problem.
This is a fine and immensely thorough article that I look forward to seeing at FAC in due course. Tim riley talk 09:19, 26 June 2016 (UTC)
- Clearly close to FA-standard, or there. Some paras too long, some (in the lead) too short - somebody will want this kept to 4 paras per WP:LEAD - it's currently 6. I don't entirely agree with Tim re the picture placing. On my 300px default setting, the pics now go way down into the notes. I'd move one (perhaps the swimsuit girl) up to below the lead pic, where there's white space next to the TOC. I'd consider mini-galleries at a decent size setting.

I've listed this article for peer review because…I have started rewriting this article in October 2015, working from French language sources (my mothertongue). I think that I have now brought it to a very decent, almost GA-like status ([2]). Since I am not a native speaker, I would like someone without any previous knowledge of the building to review my work before I may try and nominate it as a good article candidate.
Thanks, Edelseider (talk) 11:04, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
LynwoodF
I was asked by one of the principal authors, who is not a native English-speaker, to review the wording of the article, in order to ensure that the English is idiomatic. I have done this and made a number of minor changes. I am now going on to look at the article from the point of view of content. I am familiar with the building, having lived near it for a while, but had only a sketchy knowledge of its history. However, the contents of the article are consistent with what I already knew.
- The lead section is longer than some, but it summarizes the history of the building and the uses to which it has been put, without going into excessive detail.
- The main body of the article is divided into logical sections and a great deal more detail is included in these.
- The definite article is used in two of the section headings, and while this is generally frowned upon, its use seems natural in both contexts and I am not prepared to condemn it. I am reminded of an old adage: "Rules are for the obedience of fools and the guidance of the wise."
- There are a number of images and these are mostly grouped into small galleries in the relevant sections. Given the specialist nature of the images, this seems to me to be the sensible way to handle them.
- The sources seem appropriate, but are largely in French. However, I am not aware of any English-language source which has this amount of detail. The authors of the article have perhaps done the English-speaking community a service by extracting and translating the detailed information.
- All the links appear to be in working order at the date of this comment. LynwoodF (talk) 16:51, 9 May 2016 (UTC)
This is a very fine piece of work, a pleasure to read and highly instructive. The proportions are apt, the sourcing is wide and evidently authoritative. All I can offer are a few tiny drafting points:
- Spelling: English or American? At present we have BrE "favourable" and "splendour" alongside AmE "center" and "realized" (the latter is technically BrE as well as AmE, but "realised" is much more usual).
- Empress Joséphine – it seems anomalous to give Josephine her aigu while denying Napoléon his. Common English usage? Perhaps, though a quick rummage in the archives shows that The Times has never given her the acute accent.
- "the right wing was the used as the stable" – needs tweaking: either "the right wing was the stable" or "the right wing was used as the stable" – not sure which you intended.
- "who later offered it to the Marquis of Cinq-Mars" – did Cinq-Mars accept it? If so, I'd write "gave" or "presented" rather than "offered".
- "the main foci" – according to Fowler, "The pl. of the noun in general use is focuses, and in scientific use most often foci" (the latter pronounced with a soft "s" it seems). I'd follow Fowler's lead and go for the everyday "focuses".
Those are my few gleanings. This is an excellent article, and I hope to see it promoted to GA or FA in due course. – Tim riley talk 16:46, 16 July 2016 (UTC)

I've listed this article for peer review because I'm thinking that this article is a likely FA candidate. I've tinkered with it since 2012, gradually expanding it to the point of reaching GA status. With the the plethora of scholarly literature that's come out since around 2010/2011 onward, I think that this article has become very comprehensive and is able to summarize a rather complicated musical genre. I'd like comments to see what issues would hinder this becoming an FA.
Thanks, 3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 04:41, 31 March 2016 (UTC)
- The TeamRock ref for Amon Amarth denying viking metal is giving me an internal server error.
- A couple of these links throw me redirects that Checklinks somehow fails to catch. For example, Eduardo Rivadavia's article on Bathory's Blood Fire Death ref from AllMusic is throwing me a redirect to the band's bio, and it doesn't keep any of the claims written in the article. Chad Bowar's 2014 article also throws me a redirect. Check for errors in the URL or add some archives.
- For the music samples, I would suggest putting "by (x)" after the song title, or "(x's)" "title" rather than simply the song's title.
- Speaking of those song samples, their sound quality is too good to fall under fair use. Try somewhere between 60-80 kbps rather than 100-130.
- Who's that accordion player in the picture? (Actually, I know it's Korpiklaani's Sami Perttula.) Might want to add that somewhere.
- dannymusiceditor what'd I do now? 15:48, 27 April 2016 (UTC)

- Somewhere in an update way back, Audacity changed how it converted sound files. I'll have to continue tinkering to get the right quality. I'll work on the link issues.--3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 22:34, 27 April 2016 (UTC)
- The Blood Fire Death link probably got misdirected when being converted to Sfn format or something.--3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 22:36, 27 April 2016 (UTC)
- @DannyMusicEditor: I reduced the sound quality for the samples down to 48kbps through Audacity (for some reason, exporting to .ogg doesn't let you choose the bit-rate, so I exported to .mp3, than re-exported to .ogg). I also re-titled the examples to include the artist name.--3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 16:49, 2 May 2016 (UTC)

I've listed this article for peer review because I'm thinking about good article status. I created the French article and was able to improve its status until good article. The English article is a translation. Since English is not my mother-tongue, I would like to be sure to have made no mistakes during the translation. I would also like to know if the article respects the english wikipedia guidelines which could differ a bit.

I've listed this article for peer review because it's expanded to the point where I'm thinking about good article status, but I've had trouble striking a balance between global coverage and summarizing the topic adequately.

I've listed this article for peer review because it is an article on a subject that is incomplete and missing information that is unobtainable at this point. As such, the project it is rated under utilizes a special assessment of Future-class. However, I have 400-series highways nominated for a good topic, and as such require a peer review of this subject.

- As a Brit, I didn't know what the term freeway meant until I looked it up. You could say "a future tolled freeway" or otherwise indicate that freeway is synonymous with controlled-access highway.
- The article is lacking decent inline citations. References 2 and 3 are dead links. References 1 and 4 do not support the text they are accompanying. References 5 and 6 are fine, and could probably be used to support some other parts of the article.
- I also edited the article to improve the grammar and flow. Hpesoj00 (talk) 12:27, 19 July 2016 (UTC)

I'd like to get this to GA status, but my ideas for improving it are starting to stagnate. I'd especially like comments from people both more and less knowledgeable about the topic than me, for accuracy and readability respectively. Generally, how much needs to be done to get it to GA, and where is a good place to start.

Comments by StarryGrandma
You are brave to tackle an article that has so much information added in to it in random fashion over the years. I've wanted to see Computing become a Good article but haven't known where to begin. Amplifiers is at least a much less expansive topic. However, as you will see below, there were once two articles and it got complicated.
-
- The lead should summarize the article, not be the only place where information is in the article. There should be an article section that explains what an amplifier is. Move the history material into a history section.
-
- The article needs to be a high-level view of electronic amplifiers in general. Amplifiers can amplify current, voltage, and power. Currently the article is mostly about power amplifiers (see lead sentence). The article was reorganized in 2008, and the power amplifier material was moved out of an article then named "Amplifier" into the "Electronic amplifier" article, with the plan that it would then be moved into a power amplifier article in summary style. But that didn't happen.
-
- In January 2013 the then named "Amplifier" article was split up into various parts, and the remainder moved to Amplifier figures of merit. So the older history of "Amplifier" is under that name. The discussion Talk:Amplifier figures of merit#Amplifier topic organization (which happened when the article was still named Amplifier) shows what happened. Then "Electronic amplifier" was moved to "Amplifier".
-
- I hope this history isn't too confusing. I think a good start would be to put the power amplifier material, especially the classes, into its own article. (This should be separate from the Audio power amplifier article which is something else.) Then look at Amplifier (disambiguation) for other material which should be summarized in the article.
-
- As with much older technical material the article's references aren't clear. For GA the material in an article needs references, but they don't have to all be inline. There isn't a reference list at the end to indicate the remaining references. Perhaps some of the external links are really references, but this isn't indicated.
Let me know if you have any questions or comments or need some more suggestions. This is a very interesting topic and I wish you well with it. StarryGrandma (talk) 03:12, 2 July 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks, that's given me a pretty good idea on how to start a serious reorganisation of the article. Is it correct to call a device that doesn't amplify power an amplifier? It seems that a device that amplifies only current or voltage would instead be a electric power converter, does this need clarification in the article? Splitting off certain sections may be a good idea, but to what degree? Electronic amplifiers are a pretty wide ranging topic, so it seems that their classification and categorisation would be a good subject for the article, but I'd say in its current state it is too detailed at many points. — crh 23 (Talk) 09:38, 2 July 2016 (UTC)
The article could definitely be improved with inline references. Particularly in technical matters, it would be excellent to have a source directly after each claim. This seems to be the biggest challenge in the article - matching a source for each claim. BrightRoundCircle (talk) 08:10, 6 July 2016 (UTC)

- Citations need attention. Inquistr and Daily Beast and Boston Globe citations are missing authors. Author name format is inconsistent.
- Some MOS work needs to be done before FAC. I straightened curly quotation marks. Initials for people should have a space after the period (e.g. S.I. Rosenbaum).
- The "Name change" section could be tightened up. Right now, it looks like something that was written by many people over a period of time. It should read as one coherent whole.
- When you haven't mentioned dates for a while, provide some context, e.g. instead of "March 14", write "March 14, two weeks after the segment first aired". – Jonesey95 (talk) 19:53, 5 July 2016 (UTC)
- @Jonesey95: Thanks for the feedback. I'll fix these shortly. Kylo, Rey, & Finn Consortium, now featuring BB-8 (talk) 21:00, 5 July 2016 (UTC)
- In the lead, we read "The segment, which is the show's most popular to date,[3] popularized the term Donald Drumpf..." Can this be rephrased to avoid repeating "popular... popularized"?
- "Within one week of the original broadcast, the YouTube video of the segment had surpassed 20 million views, making it Oliver's most watched segment." Except that "John Oliver Sells Out of ‘Make Donald Drumpf Again’ Caps" says eight days and 19m+ views, and "Forget ‘Donald Drumpf.’ This new John Oliver segment is well worth a few minutes of your time." says nearly 20m views in a week.
- If you're going to take this to FAC, your citation formats really need to be consistent. Some of your articles cited are undated, some have the dates in parentheses after the name of the author, and some have the date after the name of the website the article appeared on. Some don't appear to have author names.
Hope these help. Caeciliusinhorto (talk) 16:22, 7 July 2016 (UTC)
Comment: Seems reference formatting is an issue here. I've formatted the references in the "Description" section (including the "Make Donald Drumpf Again" subsection) and will try to help with the remainder of the article when I have time. ---Another Believer (Talk) 15:01, 8 July 2016 (UTC)

I've listed this article for peer review because the same was suggested during the 2nd FA nomination. I have addressed the main issues brought out during the nomination, and am now requesting a peer review for improvement of the article to FA standards. Thank you.

- I'm aware of this and will be leaving some comments in a few days. Please forgive me, I leave Thursday on a trip and am trying to get some research in while I have access to the books. I've given it a read-through, though. Let me start you by saying this: I think you are mistaken in covering this as a cricket match, primarily, as that leads to dull reading, like a cricket match report. The fact that it was played, the first significant intercolonial match, is far more important than how many LBWs there were. The lede should focus on this as a historical event. Right now you have to dig through the lede to figure out why it is important this match was played. --Wehwalt (talk) 14:23, 26 June 2016 (UTC)
- Will do that. Thanks and looking forward to working on this with your suggestions. Thanks so much. Lourdes 16:49, 26 June 2016 (UTC)
- I've done some reworking on the talk page of this review. Do tell me if I'm on the right lines. Thanks. Lourdes 05:26, 28 June 2016 (UTC)
I think Wehwalt is spot on here, we need to make much more about why this match was a big deal. I'm not convinced that the revised lead on the talk page does that either. The lead needs to include more about the background to the match. A good model, I think, would be 1877 Wimbledon Championship which is about the first Wimbledon, and might give some pointers for the first Australian first-class game. A few other points, but I will do a full review later as well:
- In the background section, we need much more detail. I think we need to go more into general cricket in Australia, even how it got there. And I'd have much more about the growth of cricket in Tasmania and Victoria.
- How "big" was cricket in these days? How many watched? How many played? How big were the names? How did it compare to cricket in England, for example?
- It is worth remembering that first-class cricket did not arise as a concept for a long, long time after this game, and we need more about how it was viewed at the time. If possible, we could also say when it was retrospectively made first-class, and why? What made it so special?
- Most of the sources are online. Are there any details in printed sources, such as histories of Australian cricket? To reach FA standard, we need to be certain that we have looked at everything important: the FA criteria state "it is a thorough and representative survey of the relevant literature". I think we might need to be a bit more robust here. Sarastro1 (talk) 21:23, 30 June 2016 (UTC)

- I shall do that. Thanks. Lourdes 01:23, 5 July 2016 (UTC)
- Sure. One quick point, I'd try to take "Aftermath" to try to show the development of Australian cricket reaching the "maturity" of the first competitions against England, in 1877 as I recall. Trying to show they were on the same road. Intercolonial competition yields eventual intercolonial team, take on England, and certainly full cricket maturity at that point.--Wehwalt (talk) 03:23, 5 July 2016 (UTC)

I've listed this article for peer review because… it is one of the greatest films of all time and I would like to see this article obtain Good Article status. I've been editing the majority of the article for the past years or so. At this point I do not know what else I need to the article, but I'm combing through books right now to make sure I'm not missing anything critical.
I'm also looking at advice for the cinematic influence section. I do not really know how to tackle it. I've posted on the talk page of the godfather with my idea for the section, but I have yet to receive any real feedback. My idea is to scrap the "In film" and "In television" sections as they really don't hold much value and seem like something IMDb would have, and is overly trivial. In addition, more and more examples will be continued to be added to these sections as the years go by and more forms of media imitate the film, making it even more unnecessary.
Any and all comments are welcome! Thanks ahead of time! I do know some refs are out of order, but I'm planning on fixing that once I've removed more sources and whatnot. Disc Wheel (T + C) 18:13, 6 June 2016 (UTC)

- General comments by Aoba47
-
- The lead needs to be expanded to include information from each section of the article according to WP:LEAD.
- Make sure to add an alt for the image in the infobox
*I would recommend spelling out MDPD when you first use it in the body of the article. While I am familiar with the acronym (since I am from Florida) and it is suggested in the title of the show, I find that is always best to be as clear as possible.
*I would suggest replacing "Plot" with either "Series overview" or "Premise" as you seem to be doing a more broad overview of the show than is suggest in the term plot.
*The "Plot" section also requires references.
*Make sure to link CBS the first time you use it in the body of the article.
*The "Music" subsection needs references.
*A majority of the articles I have seen about television shows have a large "Production" section. I would recommend relabelling the "Creation" section and turning it into a "Production" section and merging the "Casting" section into this. This is more of a suggestion as this is something I have noticed when examining other pages about television shows.
*The article needs a "Critical reception" section
- The "Awards" section could be expanded as well as the "Franchise" section.
*The "South Beach Riot" article is a great source, but I am not sure why it is used as an external ink. The article seems more appropriate as a reference in the article rather than an external link.
More information could be provided on the reasons for the show's cancellation.
*The table in the "Awards" section needs to be sourced.
-
- @Unframboise: I have written a few suggestions above. I am not that experienced on Wikipedia so definitely take my comments with a large grain of salt. My primary advice is to expand the article more and go through the entire thing to make sure everything is sourced. It is definitely on the right track, but it still needs more work. I hope this is helpful in some small way. Aoba47 (talk) 20:07, 1 July 2016 (UTC)
- Further comments by Aoba47
-
- I would strongly discourage against making two sections devoted to Caruso and Delaney. You can keep the separate paragraphs devoted to each actor, but it should fall under the larger subsection "Critical reception". Creating two subsection headings for two relatively short paragraphs disturbs the flow of the section and gives undue focus on these two particular points of the reviews.
- You need a better and more reliable source for the table. Imdb is not reliable and is strongly discouraged to be used as a source. I would recommending finding a source for each award. CSI: Miami was a rather major show so it should not too difficult to track down more reliable sources for this table.
- The bulleted list for the "United States" subsection in the "Broadcast" section should be turned to prose. The information on the first run also needs to be cited.
- You need references for the "Ireland" and "United Kingdom" subsections.
- Expand the information in the "Recurring cast and characters" subsection if possible.
- The lead is still not fully developed enough for an article of this length.
- Expand on the subsection "CSI: NY"
- Do not cite with just bare links. Use the appropriate templates for every citation.
- The information in the "Main cast and characters " subsection needs to be cited. You started doing it for Caine and Duquesne, but stopped for everyone else. Episodes from the show can be used for citation.
- The section of the adaptations needs to be expanded. More information should be provided about the comics, novels, and video/mobile games.
- I would recommend combining the two tables from the "Broadcast" and "Episode" sections. Look at House for the perfect example at how it is done. The way it is done now, it is too repetitive to include similar information on two different tables.
- @Unframboise: I have added some more suggestions above. Two major points are avoiding the use of bare links and that IMDB is not an appropriate source. Let me know if you have comments or concerns about my review. I hope you find this helpful. Aoba47 (talk) 00:25, 18 July 2016 (UTC)

- Unless there is a controversial fact, there's no need to put two of the same cite in a row. The error looks like this: "The Sun is one solar mass.[1] It is a yellow dwarf star.[1]"
- Adding alt text would be nice, but isn't required for FAC.
- All contractions (like couldn't and hadn't) should be expanded.
- "Alceste was a little undermanned" could be a grammatical error. (in Fate)
- "...and make off." Shouldn't it be "...and took off" (in lead)
- Link: Pensacola, jib-boom, spritsail and stunsail.

Thoughts from Hchc2009: (many rather minor!)
- "between the Courtney family (earls of Devon since 1335)"... "this was not confined to just the (more well known) antics" - I don't think the brackets are adding much here, you could just use commas. I'm not sure about some of the later bracketed bits either - again, commas might be softer.
- Is "antics" the right word?
- " while the king remained unfit" - worth checking out WP:JOBTITLE for the capitalisation here.
- "The incapacitation of Henry VI by mental illness in 1454 had led to the recall to court of Richard of York, his closest adult relative, who had been banished to his estates after a failed rebellion in 1452, and his appointment to govern England as Lord Protector and First Councillor of the realm while the king remained unfit." - a monster sentence!
- The quotes should be in double speech marks (as per MOS:QUOTEMARKS)
- Consistency of "south west" and "south-west"
- "including military marches which led to them both being summoned before council." - I was uncertain how a march would end up in summons... Might be worth clarifying
- " the Family seat of the Courtenays" - capitalisation of "Family"
- "Powderham Castle, west front, viewed from under the Victorian gatehouse. The leftmost tower dates from 1390–1450 as does the main high central block, which originally housed a full-height great hall. The central entrance tower was built between 1710-1727. The single-storey projecting room built between the two towers, with three tall gothic-style windows, is the Victorian Dining Hall.[39]" - unclear what the post "great hall" bit is adding in this particular context
- "and Baron Bonville in the south-west of England" - a particular baron? More than one baron...?
- "William Bonville" - link on first use
- "Coat of Arms of Sir William Bonville, 1st Baron Bonville, KG" - not sure you need the KG here
- "Michael hicks " - capitalisation of Hicks. Hchc2009 (talk) 21:03, 19 May 2016 (UTC)
- Done Awaiting further instructions! Cheers, Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi 14:23, 20 May 2016 (UTC)
- Final bits on the ce side...
- "This prevented, by preventing recogntion, an official inquest being held into Radford's death." This final bit of the para appears uncited at the moment.
- Some of the quotes are still in singles, by the way! :)
- "with the Cathedral" - consistent capitalisation
- "Martin cherry" - "Cherry"
- "and Bonville ally, Sir Philip II Courtenay (d.1463); " - consistency of use of death dates in line (this seems to be the only one)
- "The fight at Clyst" section - the brackets should really be converted to commas here
- "However decisive devon's victory had been, " - "Devon"?
- "The King was inacpacitated," - sp
- "One Chronicler states that following his defeat," - capitalisation
- "as the protectorate was soon to come to an end:" - colon should be a full stop
- "Commissions of Oyer and terminer were issued in August" - capitalisation of oyer?
- "but both parties to the feud were effectively elimiinated through the wars over the next few years." - "effectively"? or "killed in the wars"? They both seem to have died... Hchc2009 (talk) 06:03, 22 May 2016 (UTC)

Comments
- Given the length of the article, I would recommend expanding the lead
- The US does not have freedom of panorama for sculpture, so the BYU statue will need a licensing tag for the copyright of the work itself as well as the photo
- "is considered its true founder" in the lead: it's not clear at this point in the article what is meant by that. Suggest rewording or omitting
- Usually non-notable children are not listed in the infobox, just a number given
- Why did he lose his sight? Why was he unfit for military service? Who forced him to leave Germany? A number of questions are raised and not answered by the text throughout
- Work titles should be italicized in references - Deseret News, BYU Magazine, etc. Nikkimaria (talk) 18:54, 14 May 2016 (UTC)

- Thanks for reviewing my article! I have gone back through and made your suggested changes.

Amgisseman(BYU) (talk) 20:05, 17 May 2016 (UTC)
- Who called him to serve as a missionary? Who asked him to be the conference president? Who appointed him to head church meetings? What is a Norman Department? Why was the spelling of his name altered for the school named after him?

Thank you, Oncenawhile (talk) 13:07, 24 April 2016 (UTC)
Comment: There are some sources in this bibliography which might be useful to include. Nikkimaria (talk) 20:11, 7 May 2016 (UTC)
The article seems very comprehensive to me, representative of relevant literature, and in compliance with WP:POV. However, there are very few (only two?) Arab and Palestinian sources cited in the article. Perhaps, in order to avoid POV accusations because of the touchiness of this topic, it's best to add a few more citations of Arab and Palestinian sources, if they exist and are on par with the quality of the existing citations.

Hello Jaldous1. The article could become a GA but there are somethings that bothered me.
- The lead feels like a spam of wikilinks. Try avoid by writing "It had multiple famous editors"
- Again with the lead. I would suggest expanding considering how big is the body of the article.
- There are several sentences unsourced. I tagged some for you to see.
- "Stats and lists about the magazine" feels quite empty. If you can't reference such large section, I would suggest removing it.
Other than I'm also making a peer review in Wikipedia:Peer review/Allen Walker/archive1. I would appreciate responses.

- Hello Eddie. The article looks good but there are somethings bothering me.
- Try expanding the lead to mention other stuff such as the premise and other stuff. Normally, well-written articles have two paragraphs in the lead.
- Could you make a reception section? Sales would be good.
- The Film adaptation section feels like WP:Original research. Maybe you could trim it and leave it like a legacy section alongside tv spin off.
- One last thing, the making of the novel (inspirations, author's comments) could be helpful.
Other than that, I also made a peer review in Wikipedia:Peer review/Allen Walker/archive1 and I would appreciate feedback.

I had recently nominated this article for FA, but other editors pointed out some serious flaws that need to be resolved before it's ready to be promoted. I would like to work on these issues. I'm transcluding the failed FA nomination below. EDIT: Transcluding created problems, so I'm replacing it with a simple wikilink.

- I said "I'd recommend a Peer review, after a period of improvement", but you've launched it straight away. Personally I think the various FAC comments gave you plenty to work on, so I'll come back later, probably in a week or three. Johnbod (talk) 02:40, 20 July 2016 (UTC)

- Yes, you should work on the points identified in the FAC, in particular the straightforward ones such as uncited statements, bullet-point prose, and sorting out the sources from the general bibliography. I'll be watching the article page, and will comment here when some of these issues have been tackled. Brianboulton (talk) 16:26, 20 July 2016 (UTC)
@Brianboulton: Regarding your last two bullets in the FA review:
- The editor who inserted the claim actually mis-paraphrased the source. I've corrected that. The evangelist was always called "John", according to the source. In any case, saying "the evangelist" doesn't imply "John the Evangelist" or any other particular identity—the word "evangelist" simply means "author/writer of a gospel", whether he be named John, something else, or truly anonymous. A capitalized "Evangelist" might in certain contexts, but this form isn't used in the article.
- I'd like to know, too. That notice was here when I first arrived (albeit somewhere else, IIRC), and I haven't been able to figure out which part of the text it refers to. But I haven't removed it in case there really is something from CE that I've missed.

Chhinnamasta is a self-decapitated Hindu goddess, who holds her severed head in her hand and drinks blood from her wound. A GA since 2010, the article was recently expanded with a dream of being a FA. Request for reviwers, who are unfamiliar with Hinduism so that we can know if a non-Hindu understands the article, which has some jargon. Thanks a lot, Redtigerxyz Talk 17:18, 13 July 2016 (UTC)

I'd be very grateful if I could get some assistance with editing this article to get it up to FA quality. It has been a GA for 6 years now, and has had over 1,200 revisions in total by over 80 editors. When I nominated it to be upgraded to a FA, I was basically told to "review WP:WIAFA and spend some time ensuring all statements are cited and that WP:MOS is followed".
Thanks! Ldesilva (talk) 17:11, 17 May 2016 (UTC)
- Hello Ldesilva. The article looks well-written but there are some parts that left me confused. For example:
- The lead has some references which is something other FAs avoid. I think I really like WP:Lead considering how I follow that guide. Maybe if you remove some doubtful information you could remove the sources and move them to the articles' body.
- There are some sentences in the article unsourced like the first one "Hugh de Silva died whilst studying to be ordained." or "He also took a study course in Mahayana Buddhism at the Vidyodaya University in Sri Lanka. During his studies, Lynn and Lakshmi had their second son, Lalith Chrishantha de Silva, on 16 September 1954." The same goes for the second paragraph of Thanatology.
- Also, I have requested a peer review for Allen Walker here so I would appreciate some feedback.
Still nice work in the article. I hope it becomes a FA.Tintor2 (talk) 14:26, 21 May 2016 (UTC)
- Comments
- Image Review: File:Lynn and Lakshmi.jpg - There is no proof by the description ("This picture was given to me by one of their children") that the uploader holds the copyright. Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission needs to be used. Similar issues for the other photos attributed to The de Silva family.
- All dates like birth of his children needs references
- The whole generic Intro of "History of Buddhist-Christian relations in Sri Lanka" from the 16th century seems WP:UNDUE. Most of the content is relevant to Christianity in Sri Lanka. Only the most relevant part to de Silva needs to be retained. The article can contrast de Silva's attitude to Buddhism with older Christian attitudes, for example.
- "He died soon afterward, having continued to work until the end." The tone is more wp:peacocky rather than encyclopedic.

I've listed this article for peer review because I believe there is good reason to see it as biased, and clearly anti-Kirchner. To be frank, it appears to me like it could need a partial rewrite, by someone other than the article contributors so far, that including myself. I'm no expert on Kirchner; I simply noticed the unserious language used in this article.
The user who has so far refused revisions – and who has been the main writer behind the article – has stated, among other things, the following:
Furthermore, the article is in my opinion little other than a rant about everything said user perceives as wrong about CFK, and he/she fails to employ encyclopedic language. Naturally, there have been multiple contributors, but said user is of concern, as he/she actively blocks the article's revision.
This (very much unfinished) draft for a rewrite has been rejected by the user, due to its use of the word "alleged" when referring to allegations against Kirchner, as he/she would prefer such allegations to be stated directly as facts.
It's clear that something must be done about this.
Thanks, Μαρκος Δ (talk) 16:26, 3 June 2016 (UTC)
- As I have seen in the discussion, it seems that the problem is that this user prefers to use "politically correct" language, while I prefer to call a spade a spade. For instance, the sandbox version talks about an "Alleged cult of personality" and cites the BBC as a reference; but the BBC says "there is undoubtedly a personality cult centred on the current president herself" (note that by "current" they were talking about Cristina Kirchner, who was president when that article was written). So, who says that this is something "alleged"? Who disputes the existence of that cult of personality? See WP:ASSERT. Note that every sentence of the article is referenced to a reliable source. I have asked this user to focus on specific points, so I can provide any clarification required, to no avail.
- I also find it unfair to say that I'm "blocking" the article. I'm the main contributor, so of course that I will explain my edits as needed. But this user deleted huge blocks of texts and asked for some time to write a new article, and I accepted that. I only restored the contents when a week had passed and the user had made absolutely no edits about the topic, neither in the article or elsewhere. Cambalachero (talk) 18:46, 3 June 2016 (UTC)

- Might want to mention its ceritifications in the band's home country (America), so mention the Gold success of "Re-Education" (don't see that one mentioned here at all, which is an important one) and the Platinum status of "Savior". Same thing with "Prayer of the Refugee" (Platinum) and maybe even "Swing Life Away" (Gold), in their respective sections. Also mention how Siren Song, Sufferer, and Appeal went Gold in the US.
-
- I'm working on this
- Do you know how many records Rise Against has sold to date? Put that after the lead sentence. Generally, for my first paragraph, I think a good idea is: Opening statement + brief formation + optional brief style + total records. But at least have the total records sold information.
-
- Surprisingly, I've never been able to find their total number of sales. Even the band's website doesn't mention their sales
- "[Endgame] and remains their most commercially successful album to date." This is incorrect, commercial success by default refers to how many have been sold. Reword so it's clear you're referring to its chart success that was > all the other albums.
