[edit] Alain Prost

A lot of work has been put into improving the article. It met GA standards after some corrections; I feel that it has reached FA now because I feel that everything has been referenced and that I've covered Prost's rivalry with Ayrton Senna pretty well.--Skully Collins 11:22, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Comment. Good job. But you need to work on the prose in the middle of the article. It reads as if you are giving a time line of his career: in 1980 he did this; in 1981 he did this; in 1982 he did this.... It gets choppy and tedious. It doesnt hurt to combine years; you already have grouped them under several 'themes' like "1980: McLaren." You don't need to separate every point, every year.

Comment: Well that's what I did with the Damon Hill article. But I guess that fact that Hill only had seven seasons in Formula One to Prost's 12 seasons. But the reason it's split like that is for the sake of the reader, like if somebody wishs to view Prost's actions in the 1989 season, then it's easier to find. I'll leave it for now and see what others think--Skully Collins 12:23, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Comment. Well then, if sections worked for that article, it may work for this one. Give me a while to reread it and I'll give you my vote. OK? Orane (talk • cont.) 16:25, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Comment: Yeah, sure. Take your time.--Skully Collins 07:35, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

• Support Comment Oppose many section stubs, and I'm worried about several of the sources used in the article, YouTube isn't a realible source per WP:RS and I'm not sure about Prostfan.com nither which is a fan site, can you use the two written books in further reading as sources. Some sloppy writing in places as well like make-or-break, passive voice. Could use some trimming from 56KB. No proof that Image:AlainProstGP.jpg is copyrighted free use nither.

  • Comment The YouTube source is a video of an Official review of the 1993 season, while ProstFan.com looks pretty reliable, as the profile page has hardly any POVs IMO. As for the other two points (Writing & the Image) I'll look into it later.--Skully Collins 07:50, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment Removed Image:AlainProstGP.jpg. Can you give me some examples of "Sloppy Writing" and "Section Stubs" please? --Skully Collins 07:37, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
    • Opps on the section stubs, I confused all those years as them, crossed out, as for the sloppy writting, some sections do need a copyedit including the Rivalry with Ayrton Senna section, crossed out to comment. Jaranda ^{wat's sup} 03:55, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

I've re-written the rivalry with Senna section. Alexj2002 15:57, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

• Support Very informative yet still not overlong. Meets the criteria.--Diniz 17:44, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
