GOOD ARTICLE THOUGHTS
Classifying[edit]
The sections for classifying things are really restrictive and badly formed. They are innately conservative since they are based on what got set first. I don't why a more usual open classificatory system has been used. We need a tree structure.
Examples:
- Weird that parks are under sports/recreation and not geography/places eg Pelham Bay Park
- Where to put Exodus Collective?
- Where to put Self-managed social centres in the United Kingdom?
- Where to put We Are Here (collective)?
- Section: Royalty, nobility and heraldry !? on the same level as Places? - should this not be under People and Culture sections?
- Section: Video games ?! on the same level as Art and architecture? - should all these things not be under Culture?
- Section: Culture, sociology and psychology - a catch all category if ever there was one.
- eg where does a singer go?
- eg where does a music venue go?
- Penny (British decimal coin) = Social sciences and society / Economics and business / Numismatics and currencies ?!
- sports and recreation is a right mess, where to put a rugby player - FOUND it, under football lol, miscellania can be filtered to other sections etc etc
- eg where does yoga go? = Recreation not Biology!?
Reviews[edit]
Some reviews take months which just seems like a complete piss-take. This clearly contravenes the guidelines and point towards the process being very subjective, depending on the whim of the reviewer.
Examples (nothing against the articles themselves, I'm talking about the process here):
- Talk:Noam_Chomsky/GA1 April - August 2019
- Talk:History_of_anarchism/GA1 June 2019 - January 2020
Other reviews are so fast as to also raise certain concerns :
- Talk:Charm School (Roxette album)/GA2 - were the problems raised at Talk:Charm School (Roxette album)/GA1 addressed I wonder??
Dubious status[edit]
- Wikipedia_talk:Good_articles/Archive_15#Too_short_to_pass?
- cf Wikipedia:Very_short_featured_articles
- Panzer Aces - see comment at Talk:Panzer_Aces → Wikipedia:Good_article_reassessment#Panzer_Aces
- Tajikistan at the 2016 Summer Paralympics - 12k!?
- Section 21 notice - look at the size of that review
- Potato race - small review, obvious probs in article, same reviewer as Tajikistan at the 2016 Summer Paralympics
- Plastic Brit - 13k, 6 out of 24 refs are daily mail which is maybe appropriate but rater gives C and it isnt comprehensive
- Talk:Terrible-class_ironclad/GA1 - article created 5 Feb 2020, becomes good article 6 March 2020
- Talk:French_ironclad_Duguesclin - 12k article, created 27 Feb 2020, becomes good article 30 March 2020
- Alice Gray 11k
- Corbett's electrostatic machine -7k?? From review - Broadness: This criterion is not fully met. It would have been better if there was a dedicated section to effectiveness (or otherwise), but given the nature of the subject and scarcity of available material, I am inclined to make a compromise on this.
- Talk:Starblade:_Operation_Blue_Planet
- The House of Flowers (TV series) - 225k!?
- October Rebellion 12k Talk:October Rebellion/GA1 classic
Panzer Aces[edit]
This seems to be in obvious need of reassessment and I left a note on the talkpage in January which didn't get a response. Rater gives a C grade. From reading the article, I wasn't actually sure if the books are regarded fiction or nonfiction, but in any case, the article doesn't follow the guidelines at Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Novels or Wikipedia:WikiProject Books/Non-fiction article, whichever apply. Everything is very unclear, I would suggest there needs to be at the very least a synopsis of each book in the series. The article comes in at 10k so definitely there's a need for expansion.
- Immediate Fail: Broad in its coverage
- B-Criteria - The article reasonably covers the topic, and does not contain obvious omissions or inaccuracies.
