Talk:2007 Major League Baseball All-Star Game/GA1

GA Review
This review is transcluded from Talk:2007 Major League Baseball All-Star Game/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.


 * 1) Is it reasonably well written?
 * A. Prose quality:
 * Some of the game commentary uses a lot of POV wording. i.e.: "That seemed like enough in the hands of the American League's closers".  The facts of the game play should be reported, not the opinion of it.
 * Another example: "but a strong throw by Griffey with a nice scoop by Russell Martin allowed Martin to easily tag Rodriguez to end the inning." (bolded words are establishing a POV)
 * Several stub paragraphs throughout. Especially the anthems and Umpires (Game)
 * B. MoS compliance:
 * colour coding in the Final Roster Spot section is ambiguous. I understand that yellow represents the winners of the vote, but why are Oswalt and Webb coded brown?  Also, colour coding alone should not be used to highlight.
 * This remains a problem. The yellow highlighting needs to be explained, and paired with something such as bold text.
 * Also, are there results for this stage of voting? All-Star Final Vote goes into much more detail.  This could be integrated into this article.
 * Only the first word of section titles should be capitalized, excluding proper names.
 * Checked, and now passing|}}


 * 1) Is it factually accurate and verifiable?
 * A. References to sources:
 * One statement I'd like to see sourced, but not going to get all that worked up about: "The game marked the first time since 1953 that one league hosted consecutive All-Star Games, after Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, hosted the game in 2006." (Background)
 * B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:
 * All sources used are reliable
 * C. No original research:
 * No OR identified
 * 1) Is it broad in its coverage?
 * A. Major aspects:
 * Touches on all aspects of the All-Star game.
 * Fan Balloting section is thin, however. Would it help to list how many votes each starter received?  Also, are the vote totals for the final roster spot player available?
 * B. Focused:
 * Remains on topic
 * 1) Is it neutral?
 * Fair representation without bias:
 * Remains neutral
 * 1) Is it stable?
 * No edit wars, etc:
 * No ongoing edit wars
 * 1) Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?
 * A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:
 * The image of the golden ball remains commented out for not having a FU claim on this article. This could easily be fixed, and the image restored.
 * On second thought, this image would not serve to enhance one's understanding of the topic, so wouldn't qualify under WP:NFCC.
 * Are there images of the game available? Perhaps you could check flickr to see if anyone at the game posted images under a Creative Commons license.
 * B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:
 * 1) Overall:
 * Pass or Fail:
 * The prose and MOS issues are my greatest concern. But, it is fixable.  Please let me know when you have responded to these concerns, and I will happily re-assess. Regards, Resolute 00:45, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Looking better, but still a few minor issues. Resolute 01:03, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
 * After deciding to to deal with some of the very minor issues that were outstanding, I have decided to pass this article.  Congrats. Resolute 19:13, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
