Talk:Comoros at the 2008 Summer Olympics/GA2

GA Reassessment
The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the reassessment.''

I suggest that this article fails criterion three of the good article criteria, in that it is not broad enough in its coverage. Do they have an Olympic Committee in Comoros that is responsible for the selection of the athletes? How does the selection work? Who else was shortlisted but didn't make it? Who was leading the Olympic delegation in Bejing? What was the team's rank at the opening ceremony? Those are all issues that I would expect a GA class article to cover.

The article's other weakness is its lead and this is relevant to criterion one of the GA criteria, but this is a much lesser issue compared to broadness of coverage. According to MOS, the "lead serves as ... a summary of its most important aspects." The problem is that the lead contains information that is not contained within the article itself.

 * To be honest I didn't have much experience when I promoted this article to GA class (this was only my fourth GA review), and although I think I can fix most of the issues you have stated, I don't have the time at the moment. Would you mind de-listing for now so that I don't have to worry about fixing it in time? good888 (talk) 12:48, 17 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Don't feel bad about this. You and I have the same objectives in that we want to build a better Wikipedia. Your contributions as a reviewer of GA articles is much appreciated. But given that Wikipedia is a hugely complex system, it is inevitable that editors may mistakes when they venture into new areas, and that includes GA reviews. I for one are grateful to those who are willing to invest their time into reviewing other editors' articles, and other backroom tasks. I'll drop the article back to B class for now.
