Talk:Lusty Lady
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Good Article nomination has failed
The Good article nomination for Lusty Lady has failed, for the following reason:
- The article is close, but misses some of the criteria for a good article. Bugmuncher 06:37, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
1. It is well written. In this respect:
-
- (a) it has compelling prose, and is readily comprehensible to non-specialist readers;
- ALMOST - could use some tweaks here and there. It needs to flow a bit better.
- (b) it follows a logical structure, introducing the topic and then grouping together its coverage of related aspects; where appropriate, it contains a succinct lead section summarising the topic, and the remaining text is organised into a system of hierarchical sections (particularly for longer articles);
- MOSTLY, but the lead doesn't addresss the scope of the article.
- (c) it follows the Wikipedia Manual of Style;
- AS FAR AS I CAN TELL - I am no style expert yet. (My specialty is leads...)
- (d) necessary technical terms or jargon are briefly explained in the article itself, or an active link is provided.
- YES
- (a) it has compelling prose, and is readily comprehensible to non-specialist readers;
2. It is factually accurate and verifiable. In this respect:
-
- (a) it provides references to any and all sources used for its material;
- YES
- (b) the citation of its sources is essential, and the use of inline citations is desirable, although not mandatory;
- The newspaper articles should include bylines, and all web sources cited should include retrieval dates. see WP:CITE
- (c) sources should be selected in accordance with the guidelines for reliable sources;
- YES
- (d) it contains no elements of original research.
- YES
- (a) it provides references to any and all sources used for its material;
3. It is broad in its coverage, addressing all major aspects of the topic (this requirement is slightly weaker than the "comprehensiveness" required by WP:FAC, and allows shorter articles and broad overviews of large topics to be listed);.
-
-
- I think so
-
4. It follows the neutral point of view policy. In this respect:
-
- (a) viewpoints are represented fairly and without bias;
- YES
- (b) all significant points of view are fairly presented, but not asserted, particularly where there are or have been conflicting views on the topic.
- YES
- (a) viewpoints are represented fairly and without bias;
5. It is stable, i.e., it does not change significantly from day to day and is not the subject of ongoing edit wars.
-
-
- I did not check this.
-
6. It contains images, where possible, to illustrate the topic. In this respect:
-
- (a) the images are tagged and have succinct and descriptive captions;
- NEEDS BETTER CAPTION - See WP:CAPTION for advice.
- (b) a lack of images does not in itself prevent an article from achieving Good Article status.
- (a) the images are tagged and have succinct and descriptive captions;
This is pretty close! Maybe I'll contribute some changes myself tomorrow after I wake up...Bugmuncher 06:37, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Millennium
The reference to Lusty Lady in the TV series pilot Millennium was deleted as "pointless trivia". The section header, "Miscellaneous", was indeed ill-conceived, and I changed it to "Popular culture references". Other than that, I don't see how removal of this fact helps our readers: we should let the judgement of whether this trivia is pointless or not confidently up to them. The trivia lacked a source, so I added one. AxelBoldt 03:01, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
