Three Mile Island accident
Well written, well everything. Truly a masterpiece article. The topic is interesting as well 11kowrom 14:28, 19 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Support Very well done! Clearly some of Wikipedia's best work. Lorty 14:39, 19 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Weak Support. Well done, but perhaps you could explain how many it would have impacted had it melted down, what cities the radiation would have impacted, e.t.c. But, that could be easily fixed
 * Object; not enough inline citations. Where is all this information coming from?  Please give page numbers, etc. at the very least every few paragraphs.  Writing quality is shaky ("Note that the two shortest nuclear power plant construction projects", "It should be noted that the operators and emergency operating procedures", "It is noteworthy that", "...have been improved. Improved surveillance...").  Organization needs work&mdash;the aftermath section isn't very cohesive (talks about lessons learned, then the effect on the industry, then the effect on the country, then more on the effect on the industry, and finally the actual cleanup).  The section on The China Syndrome seems out of place; perhaps just a link to it would be sufficient, or passing reference in the aftermath section.  Image:Btmi3.jpg has questionable copyright status. Also, maybe a more recent image of the island would be appropriate to include? --Spangineer[es]  (háblame)  15:56, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment - I've changed the wikilink so it accurately reflects the title of the article - at first, I was wondering why the article on Three Mile Island was only about the accident. User:The Disco King (not signed in) 204.40.1.129 16:47, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak Support Good article, but needs better organization 69.40.243.98 19:58, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment. One picture should be moved to Commons and another doesn't have any copyright information. Poppypetty 21:24, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Very weak object:


 * Images with fair use tags need fair use rationales - please see WP:FUC.
 * I also agree with Spangineer. Thanks, AndyZ t 23:18, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Object - the article is about the Three Mile Island accident, yet the opening sentence describes Three Mile Island (the location) which happened to be home to a nuclear reactor that suffered a meltdown. I'd suggest reworking the opening to directly describe the accident itself. For example: "The Three Mile Island accident was..." Alexthe5th 17:21, 20 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Oppose, issues with the tone and verifiability.--Peta 06:08, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
