[edit] GA on hold

I am going to put this article on hold for the easiest of mistakes to be fixed (sorry, my expectations are high). The article looks really good right now, but there are a few things that should be fixed before I'll pass it:

  • Fix all redirects. Just go through all of the links, and if it has to go through a redirect, fix the link so it goes directly to the correct article. There were at least ten or more throughout the article that I found.
Fixed. Remaining oddities are either pages with disambiguation links at the top or pipelined links where the article is titled in US English, but the term used in the article is UK English. 4u1e 19:37, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Either wikilink or describe some of the jargon a little more so people unfamiliar with Formula One and its practices can follow along. Examples would include: elimination heats/qualification heats, chassis, scrutineers (wikilink the first instance of this word, not the second), pitlane, and any other words you think may need to be described.
Fixed - to my eyes anyway! 4u1e 22:49, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Change 17 year old to 17-year-old. Same for 20 year old.
Done. 4u1e 22:49, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Again, these should be easy to fix and I'll pass the article once they are fixed. Contact me on my talk page when you're done or if you have any questions and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. If I don't hear from you, I'll come back in a week and either pass it or fail it based on its progress. --Nehrams2020 22:19, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

I'm going to fail it for now, once these are fixed, please resubmit, you shouldn't have a problem getting it passed. --Nehrams2020 08:31, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
Renominated. 4u1e 22:52, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] GA passed

Thanks for fixing the changes and I have passed this article according to the GA criteria. The article covers many aspects of the topic and is well-sourced. I recommend getting a peer review to see if there is anything else that could be improved as noticed by other editors. Also consider taking it to FA as well. Good work, and if you have the time please come help review an article or two at GAC to help remove the backlog. --Nehrams2020 22:31, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
