An old FA that lacks inline citations in many sections and has a variety of tags. Lead is insufficient (two sentences). Bloated trivia section ("In Marvel's Transformers comics continuity, Optimus Prime's personality was downloaded onto a floppy disk after his death"). Some "weasely" sentences ("It is probably true that floppy disks can surely hold an extra 10–20% formatted capacity versus their "nominal" values, but at the expense of reliability or hardware complexity.").

 * Move to FARC. Inadequate lead, listy and trivia-loaded, weasly, no improvement during FAR.  Sandy (Talk) 16:03, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

FARC commentary

 * Suggested FA criteria concerns are lack of citations (1c), weasel words (1d), and trivia (4). Marskell 18:35, 9 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Remove until Sandy's FAR review comments are addressed. LuciferMorgan 03:58, 13 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Remove - unfortunately, nothing doing towards fixing deficiencies. Sandy (Talk) 00:55, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
