 * In the infobox, "Steel - Wing Coaster" is wrong. I'm almost positive it should be a "–".

 * Not necessarily a concern for this review, but is there a better picture out there that shows more of the roller coaster? The one in the infobox just shows (what I'm guessing) a small part of the ride.
 * Not at this stage. A search for pictures with relevant licensing has returned no results. Themeparkgc   Talk  23:49, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
 * That's fine. Just keep a heads up for one if you plan to take this to FA.


 * History
 * "Speculation of Wild Eagle began" -> "Speculation of Wild Eagle began"

 * "to discuss Dollywood's 2012 attraction" What's Dollywood? Either wikilink or clarify what it is
 * ✅ Themeparkgc   Talk  23:49, 7 December 2012 (UTC)


 * "Pigeon Forge Planning Commission" same as above, either wikilink or clarify what the commission is
 * "Four days later" you never gave a date before, just March 2011, so this part doesn't make sense.

 * What's a soft-opening? And, why is that hyphenated, but in the infobox it's not?

 * Ride experience
 * Change the section name to just Experience, per WP:HEADINGS.

 * Awesome quote. I like it. Wikilink Dolly Parton, though.

 * I understand most of the words here, but for someone without roller coaster knowledge it may be tough. I know it may be difficult, but can you explain what a zero-g roll is in the text? Also, it's called a zero-gravity roll, per its article page.
 * ✅ Themeparkgc   Talk  23:49, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Not yet. Camelback hill is still unexplained.
 * I added a bit of an explanation for a camelback hill. Themeparkgc   Talk  01:16, 9 December 2012 (UTC)

 * "Because the seats are located either on the left or right of the track, a fake eagle is placed on top of each car to add to the theme of the roller coaster." unsourced
 * ✅ I reworded the sentence slightly so it could be sourced. Themeparkgc   Talk  01:03, 8 December 2012 (UTC)


 * References
 * Dates are inconsistent
 * ✅ Themeparkgc   Talk  00:38, 8 December 2012 (UTC)


 * For #1, why is there "Database Entry"? I don't see it on the link, and not sure why it's in italics.
 * ✅ Themeparkgc   Talk  23:49, 7 December 2012 (UTC)


 * For #2, it's a journal, so Cite journal should be used. Also, there's 48 pages. Needs a page number (or pages).

 * For #3, #4, #7, #11, dead link
 * Fixed 3/4 of the links with archives. Themeparkgc   Talk  00:38, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Okay. That's fine. If you wish to take the article to FA, this would need to be replaced.

 * For #5, what makes Coaster101 a reliable source?
 * Nothing (as far as I can see). I am trying to find a replacement source. If I can't I'll just end up removing that sentence. Themeparkgc   Talk  01:03, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Alright. Just keep me updated.
 * I've decided to remove it. Themeparkgc   Talk  01:16, 9 December 2012 (UTC)


 * For #6, remove Press Release and use Cite press release instead.

 * For #8, not sure how reliable facebook is, but it's the track's official page, so I can understand. However, the photos don't have a date, so I can't back up the claims.
 * If you move your mouse over the line that says "Updated over a year ago" you will be given a date of 7 October 2011. This matches the dates on the individual photos if you click on them. Is this enough? Themeparkgc   Talk  00:53, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Yup. That works well.


 * For #9, it's a blog. What makes it a RS?
 * ✅ This reference has been replaced. Themeparkgc   Talk  00:57, 8 December 2012 (UTC)


 * For #11, The Mountain Press -> The Mountain Press
 * ✅ Themeparkgc   Talk  00:38, 8 December 2012 (UTC)


 * For #12, YouTube should be the publisher

Good work on the article thus far. Once these comments are addressed, I will re-evaluate the article and see where it goes from there. I have this page bookmarked, but if you need to contact me, ping my talk page. —Michael Jester (talk &#183; contribs) 11:10, 6 December 2012 (UTC) —Michael Jester (talk &#183; contribs) 07:43, 8 December 2012 (UTC) —Michael Jester (talk &#183; contribs) 01:48, 9 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I have resolved the majority of the issues identified above. There are just two points still pending (dates on Facebook and Coaster101). Themeparkgc   Talk  01:03, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Great work. Once these final comments are addressed, I'll pass the article.
 * I believe I have addressed all the comments. Themeparkgc   Talk  01:16, 9 December 2012 (UTC)
