As an article on the
Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/Project quality task force/Sweeps list, I am reviewing this article. And from the looks of its current state, it doesn't look like GA material. Here's why:
:*A big question is if some pictures in the article are nessessary.
:*Also, the flag picture needs a caption.
I apologize for not spending more time on this article this week. I have been visiting family and my nephew is quite an airplane buff (for a toddler). I have been working on Red Tail Project. Can I have an extension. I will be traveling tomorrow. This week I should be able to respond to concerns about the article.-- TonyTheTiger ( t/ c/ bio/ WP:CHICAGO/ WP:FOUR) 05:12, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
In good faith, I responded to the initial GAR commentary. Subsequently, the reviewer took action which are completely outside the spirit of a WP:GAR. He asked for a citation for almost every sentence in the article. I have never seen a WP:GA held up to this standard although I quite often write WP:GA by concatenating sentence after sentence with inline citations for each. A good example would be my current WP:GAC nomination of Tai Streets. This level of citation is beyond what is required for WP:GA, but I do it anyways. I get the feeling from this review that the reviewer "knows who I am" and is in some way trying to make an affront by challenging me to unnecessarily cite every GD sentence in the article because I do it so often for other articles. Most recent FA promotions do not have every sentence cited and the conventional interpretaion of WP:WIAGA does not require it. I generally, request that GARs be brought up to a standard where each paragraph has at least one inline citation. I think this is a high bar for some older GAs to attain. I think this reviewer is requesting improvements outside of the spirit of GAR and intend to ask for a community review of this article if it is demoted.-- TonyTheTiger ( t/ c/ bio/ WP:CHICAGO/ WP:FOUR) 23:44, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
