Talk:Who Made Huckabee?/GA1
GA Review
[edit]GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria
This article is in decent shape, but it needs more work before it becomes a Good Article.
- Is it well written?
- A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:
- In the Beginning section, this sentence ---> "while Chuck Norris was coincidentally sponsoring Huckabee", somehow "sponsoring" doesn't seem to be the right word, how 'bout using "endorsing"?
- Check. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 16:09, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
- In the Beginning section, this sentence ---> "while Chuck Norris was coincidentally sponsoring Huckabee", somehow "sponsoring" doesn't seem to be the right word, how 'bout using "endorsing"?
- B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:
- In the lead, it would be best if "Stephen Colbert" is linked once, per here. In the Beginning section, why is "November 2007" linked? Also, with that, dates are to be un-linked, per here. Same section, it would be best if to add (WGA) after "Writers Guild of America", I mean I know what it is, but how 'bout the person that reads this article. In The feud ends section, link "Rocky III" once. In the Ironic subtext section, "The Associated Press" is italicized, but in the Aftermath section is not italicized, that needs to be fixed. The article has a red link, if it doesn't have an article, it would be best to un-link it, per here.

Done I've fixed most of the things you've noticed, but I'm not quite sure what you mean regarding the dates. You want I should unlink full dates (e.g., February 4, 2008), or just generic ones such as the month and the year? — Cinemaniac (talk • contribs) 21:30, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
- According to the new Manual of Style, for the dates, all dates need to be un-linked, including example links "November 2007" and "March 4, 2008", all dates like that need to be un-linked. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 16:09, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
- Done All righty then — problem rectified! — Cinemaniac (talk • contribs) 14:45, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
- Half-check. Links like "November 2007" and similar to that need to be un-linked. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 19:36, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
