This article is in decent shape, but it needs more work before it becomes a Good Article.

  1. Is it reasonably well written?
    A. Prose quality:
    B. MoS compliance:
  2. Is it factually accurate and verifiable?
    A. References to sources:
    B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:
    Question: Does Reference 2 cover all this ---> "Four years later, in 1990, the Goodwill Games were held in Seattle. News crews at the Pike Place Market discovered the fish market and its performances with customers, and they filmed them. Soon afterwards, the fish market appeared on Good Morning America, leading to the business and its employees being filmed by various film crews, and being featured in numerous magazines. Now, during the summer tourist season, the fishmongers will perform now in front of as many as 10,000 visitors daily"?
    C. No original research:
  3. Is it broad in its coverage?
    A. Major aspects:
    B. Focused:
  4. Is it neutral?
    Fair representation without bias:
    This, in the Flying fish section, ---> "The Pike Place Fish Market is most well-known for their habit of hurling customers' orders across the shopping area", sounds like POV.
  5. Is it stable?
    No edit wars, etc:
  6. Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?
    A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:
    B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:
  7. Overall:
    Pass or Fail:
    If the above statement can be answered, I will pass the article. Good luck with improving this article! Also, contact me if the above statements are answered.

Hi, in regards to the "most well known", I trimmed that down to be more NPOV for a summary. For the source #3, it does cover all that. The link is copyrighted, and I don't know if you have a library card that can open it, so I've mailed you the source to review. rootology (T) 23:48, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Cool, I just read the e-mail and the source looks fine. If you feel that this review is in error, feel free to take it to a GA review. Congratulations, this has become a GA. ;) --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 23:56, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
