[edit] GA on hold
:::: well no problem with the factual aspect but there is inconsistency in the units used in real estate subsection. you can use square feet → m² instead of acres → km². also instead of having subsections in the investment section you have bold emphasis by inserting ; (i have addressed these issues myself)
for example instead of ===Real estate=== you can have ;Real estate. thanks, Sushant gupta (talk) 04:20, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
- pls. add ref to the statement→ Allen also owns three professional sports teams: the Seattle Seahawks of the National Football League, the Portland Trail Blazers of the National Basketball Association, and the future Seattle soccer franchise in Major League Soccer that will begin playing in the 2009 season. (in the introduction). thanks, Sushant gupta (talk) 04:40, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] GA pass
the article meets the GA requirements. it is very informative and well cited article. keep it up. Sushant gupta (talk) 08:31, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for the promotion - but I disagree with the bold section titles. As I posted on your talk page, "I don't see the style being used at either article that you provided." and "Please link me to a recently promoted Featured Article that uses this style. I am not trying to be contentious, but this is something that I have never seen - and as you can see from my user page, I have been involved in a number of article promotions."

sorry those subsections article had there main pages. extremely sorry for providing you those links. they were once subdivided by sects. okay have a look at Economic development in India. its a GA. Sushant gupta (talk) 08:40, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
- Could you show me an example that went through the Featured Article process, though, since this would have been brought up during that if it was an issue? Preferably one that is not written by you since I think these ones are, then it'd defeat the purpose of looking for an example. One of the primary reasons that I am against this type of heading is because the heading appears very similar to the surrounding text, with the only major difference is the bolded text which helps it stand out - a little.

okay then do me a favor! expand the subsection on SpaceShipOne and i will definitely withdraw my statement. Sushant gupta (talk) 09:27, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
- I agree that the section is too short, but unfortunately, his involvement with the matter does not move beyond the investment that he made. I've moved the section up; let me know if that is an improvement. Gary King (talk) 09:31, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
- fine, thanks for your efforts. Sushant gupta (talk) 09:34, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

- On using a semicolon for sections, I'm pretty sure that's discouraged. The semicolon may be used in rare cases, for instance, for a heading on a bullet list that is not properly a subsection. But when the semicolon is used, a section does not appear in the table of contents, cannot be linked to directly, etc. If you don't like the way subheads appear (not bold enough), you could always consider using another skin. Hope this helps -- nice article, congrats on the GA! -Pete (talk) 17:05, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
