great article but it needs a little more to be GA
especially 1,2,5 are important if these things are fixed, I would be happy to support this article as GA. -- V. 01:46, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
I like this article. However, one thing I noticed was that the LLNL images were all tagged with {{ PD-USGov}}. LLNL operates under a DOE contract, if these images are PD then it would be more appropriate to mark them with {{ PD-USGov-DOE}}. To further complicates things, Template_talk:PD-USGov-DOE mentions that LLNL's copyright disclaimer is somewhat ambiguous. In the absence of an explicit statement from LLNL that a particular image is PD, they should probably be modified to use {{ Fair use in|Article}} tags and add detailed fair use rationale. — RP88 16:56, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
Delgr had mentioned to me some time ago that Nova used indirect drive. However I clearly remembered several articles on the topic from the 1980s in general science magazines (notably National Geographic, which I didn't normally read) that all implied that Nova used a direct drive method.
After several e-mails back and forth with LLNL, the reason for this confusion has become clear. Indirect drive was not generally publicized until 1993. Since I had left the physics world by that point, the release of this information flew under my radar. I'm not sure why that date in particular, but it seems like a major coincidence that this is the same date as the start of NIF.

In order to uphold the quality of
Wikipedia:Good articles, all articles listed as Good articles are being reviewed against the
GA criteria as part of the
GA project quality task force. While all the hard work that has gone into this article is appreciated, unfortunately, as of
February 15,
2008, this article fails to satisfy the criteria, as detailed below. For that reason, the article has been delisted from
WP:GA. However, if improvements are made bringing the article up to standards, the article may be nominated at
WP:GAN. If you feel this decision has been made in error, you may seek remediation at
WP:GAR.
This article has been delisted from GA due to insufficient inline citations. The GA criteria were changed in 2006 to include mandatory inline references, and this article may have been passed before this change was adequately publicised. I've passed the article on to the
unreferenced GA task force. --

This acronym should be explained in detail at least once if the acronym's used 11 times. 2A01:4B00:E038:FC00:814:75DF:41BD:30F9 ( talk) 2A01:4B00:E038:FC00:814:75DF:41BD:30F9 ( talk) 00:26, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
