Checking against GA criteria

 * GA review (see here for criteria)


 * 1) It is reasonably well written.
 * a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
 * Basic preparation of a Caesar follows the "one, two, three, four" rule. The basic recipe calls for 1–1½ oz of vodka, basic - basic. Try a little variation of words.
 * ' 'The basic recipe calls for 1–1½ oz of vodka, two dashes of hot sauce, three dashes of salt and pepper, four dashes of Worcestershire sauce, then topped with Clamato and served on the rocks.'' Unlink on the rocks, and address the grammar of the sentence.
 * Tobasco Sauce is frequently added, though it was not one of Chell's original ingredients,[4] as is horseradish. Again confused grammar.
 * The short paragraphs in the popularity section would be better combined a little.
 * 1) It is factually accurate and verifiable.
 * a (references): b (citations to reliable sources):  c (OR):
 * With over 350 million Caesars are consumed every year, the Caesar is considered the most popular mixed drink in Canada This is a reported claim by Motts and needs to be attributed as such. (It is also ungrammatical as it stands.)
 * Otherwise references check out.
 * 1) It is broad in its coverage.
 * a (major aspects): b (focused):
 * 1) It follows the neutral point of view policy.
 * Fair representation without bias:
 * 1) It is stable.
 * No edit wars, etc.:
 * 1) It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
 * a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
 * Tagged correctly
 * 1) Overall:
 * Pass/Fail:
 * On hold for seven days for above issue to be addressed. Jezhotwells (talk) 22:03, 27 March 2011 (UTC)
 * OK, it passes muster now, so I will list. Congratulations! Jezhotwells (talk) 15:44, 3 April 2011 (UTC)

 * Thank's for the quick review! I believe I have addressed your concerns. Cheers! Resolute 23:05, 27 March 2011 (UTC)
 * The more that I check out the sources, I find that no-one is saying it is the most popular drink, etc. The sources report claims that should be attributed to those making the claims.  At the moment information is being presented as fact when in fact it is just an unverified claim by a bar owner or drinks manufacturer.  The article needs to reflect that.

 * You are right. I had misrembered a paper copy of the Calgary Herald that I though had said it was the most popular mixed drink, comma, Motts estimates... but it also makes the former claim in the context of the latter.  I have rephrased that statement. Resolute 00:16, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

'unheard of' status outside canada questionable
Clamato juice is widely sold in the UK supermarkets alongside the likes of Bigtom and generic 'store branded' tomato juice. As the Clamato bottle has the Caesar recipe on it, it is relatively popular in UK, albeit as a next day recovery drink or boozey breakfast drink.

--- None of my american friends know what a Caesar is, but they were widely available when I was in Las Vegas, and also in Punta Cana. I'm sure it's just for tourists. D.P. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.36.86.72 (talk) 11:30, 4 May 2013 (UTC)
