Observations

 * GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

HTML document size: 116 kB   Prose size (including all HTML code): 19 kB    References (including all HTML code): 40 kB    Wiki text: 24 kB    Prose size (text only): 12 kB (2141 words) "readable prose size" References (text only): 6649 B


 * 1) It is reasonably well written.
 * a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
 * Article follows manual of style.


 * 1) It is factually accurate and verifiable.
 * a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources):  c (OR):  d (copyvio and plagiarism):
 * Checking Street Fighter: The Movie (arcade game) there is no reference to Shen Long in this article.
 * The reference to Street Fighter IV is a mention only, then a removal of the source.


 * 1) It is broad in its coverage.
 * a (major aspects): b (focused):
 * The Origin section and the Original EGM April Fools 1992 section don't have enough citations to carry the text. There is too much back-story and explanation.
 * EGM April Fools 1997 section is the same; it does not have enough citations to carry the text. There is too much back-story and explanation.
 * These matters were raised in a Video Game Assessment in 2008 and have not since been addressed.


 * 1) It follows the neutral point of view policy.
 * Fair representation without bias:
 * The significance and extent of the April Fool's hoax has been somewhat stretched out in this article.


 * 1) It is stable.
 * No edit wars, etc.:
 * Page created 6 June 2005;
 * Page has 785 edits by 255 editors and has 36 page watchers;
 * The Internet Archive Bot has visited 4 times;
 * 90 day page view statistics give 7,329 visits with a daily average of 81 views.
 * Article listed as GA: January 16, 2009
 * Examination of page history shows stability, and no edit warring. Edits address Japanese language and translations.


 * 1) It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
 * a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
 * File:SF Sheng long.jpg = fair use is claimed under US Copyright law. (fair use rationale is appended)
 * File:ShengLongEGMScan.jpg = fair use is claimed under US Copyright law. (fair use rationale is appended)
 * File:Sf4-gouken.jpg = screenshot from a video game = fair use is claimed under US Copyright law
 * Images are appropriately tagged and have fair use rationales.


 * 1) Overall:
 * It is challenging to say this article is neutral considering it portrays an April Fool's joke played out three times in the Street Fighter video gaming environment.
 * The origin of the April Fools joke predates the Internet and social media; the in-joke was perpetrated twice in magazine interviews and print media and flopped a third time.
 * The hoax's general reception from the public and other publishers was to eventually meet ridicule from video game competitors.
 * There is too much back-story and explanation in sections of this article (without sufficient citations) to merit GA status.
