Talk:2009 Giro d'Italia, Stage 1 to Stage 11

Shading for riders wearing jerseys for others
I thought consensus was shading for people leading a classification, not specifically wearing the jersey. In particular, after stage 1 and 2, Mark Cavendish held the white jersey, but had the more prestigious pink to wear, and after stage 3, Alessandro Petacchi held the violet jersey, but was again wearing pink. I think we should keep to this: it is the leaders of the classifications we want to highlight, not who was actually wearing the jersey (which, in this instance, is misleading).

 * My understanding was that shading was done in this way for the GC table, but on the stage results table it was just for the jersey that was actually worn. Obviously, though, I don't seem to be on the cutting edge of this issue anymore. Nosleep  break my slumber 02:21, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Someone mentioned somewhere that they thought we should shade/indicate however only the most prestigious jersey. I find that pointless. Anyone with a basic understanding of stage races knows Cavendish was awarded the pink jersey (or, moreover, any overall leader in any race is awarded a special jersey), and anyone who doesn't have basic understanding of stage races can reasonably be expected to read an article like stage race to find this information out. They're also very unlikely to be reading an article such as this. We don't need to explain how stage races work hundreds of different times in hundreds of different articles.

Failed GA
Below is a copy of the GA Review submitted on September 7, 2009.

1. Well-written?
 * In last paragraph of lead section, please define queen stage to the average reader.
 * For all prose in article, please list nationalities of all riders the first time they are mentioned.
 * On all length, please include conversion of kilometer to mile, meter to foot, and kph to mph to non-metric users in the English Wikipedia.
 * For Stage 1 - please spell out TTT.
 * On all team results, please list team nationalities. I realize these teams have multiple riders from different nations, but the teams has a home base. In Formula 1 motorsports as an example, people know Ferrari is from Italy even though the drivers that have worked for them have in some cases not been from Italy (Michael Schumacher from Germany and Kimi Räikkönen are recent examples of this.).
 * For Stage 4, please create articles for San Martino di Castrozza and Serafin Martinez.
 * For Stage 10, the last sentence of the first paragraph seems confusing. Did Fausto Coppi win the stage in 1949 and if so, when? Was this course exact. For the first sentence of the third paragraph, what does "going clear" mean? On the second sentence of the third paragraph, what does "came clear" mean? On the first sentence of the fourth paragraph, please spell out GC.
 * For Stage 11, please create articles for Alessandro Donati and Vladimir Isaichev
 * For See also section, what else is in there printed out. I see the template on screen, but not printed out. Shouldn't this template be moved after the references?

2. Factually accurate and verifiable?
 * Pass - no issues.

3. Broad in coverage?
 * Pass - no issues.

4. Neutral?
 * Pass - no issues.

5. Stable?
 * Pass - no issues.

6. Images?
 * On the Infobox for the tour map, the image looks fuzzy. Also, what do the red and green lines siginify on the map?

7. Overall. Chris (talk) 12:40, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Good article. Needs work, but the article is there once it is fixed.
