[edit] Apropos of nothing

Apropos of nothing, of the many parodies watched while researching the article, this one is probably my favourite. Something about watching the gorilla trying to rock out to Bonnie Tyler just cracks me up. :) GeeJo (t)⁄(c) • 20:53, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Good article nomination on hold

This article's Good Article promotion has been put on hold. During review, some issues were discovered that can be resolved without a major re-write. This is how the article, as of December 11, 2007, compares against the six good article criteria:

1. Well written?: Overly long sentence at beginning of Sequence section. Are the redlinks needed for the various terms/people? Are they notable enough that they could have their own articles in their own right?
2. Factually accurate?: Generally well-cited throughout. Some other minor points on sourcing :
  1. Use of Citation Templates would be nice and would help to standardize the citations in the References section and add some sense of uniformity, though not required.
  2. Overall, make sure that citations appear after punctuation throughout the article.
  3. Citation needed at end of first paragraph of Background section.
3. Broad in coverage?: Passes here, many aspects well covered.
4. Neutral point of view?: Seems to be written in neutral wording throughout.
5. Article stability? No problems seen on talk page, edit history and edit summaries going back to article creation seem fine.
6. Images?: Three images with appropriate usage, fair-use rationales provided for each.

Please address these matters soon and then leave a note here showing how they have been resolved. After 48 hours the article should be reviewed again. If these issues are not addressed within 7 days, the article may be failed without further notice. Thank you for your work so far.— Cirt (talk) 19:53, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

  • After these above issues have been addressed, please make a note of it, here below. At that point message my talk page and I will take another look. Cirt (talk) 19:53, 11 December 2007 (UTC).
Looks like Alientraveller has gone through and addressed the issues raised here. Of the redlinks, I'd've kept Juan Cabral linked in the infobox (pretty big name in some circles of the advertising industry) and Cadbury Purple (aka Pantone 2685C), which I've been meaning to write an article on for a while, but I can always relink them if and when I find the time to make them blue. Other than those, no objections. With regards to cite templates, I personally find the things horrendous to use and, after having to write out references for papers and coursework without automated help for several years, I'm pretty consistent with guidelines anyway :) GeeJo (t)⁄(c) • 20:27, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] GA Pass

Good work, thank you for addressing my points from above. I feel this article is now of a high enough quality and satisfies the above criteria that I can pass it as a Good Article. I will go ahead and make the various updates. Nice job! Cirt (talk) 23:45, 13 December 2007 (UTC).

[edit] WikiProjects

There are probably some relevant WikiProjects that you could add to the top of the talk page. As it stands now, there are none. Cirt (talk) 23:50, 13 December 2007 (UTC).
