Review section
I am nominating this featured article for review because several paragraphs are neither "verifiable against high-quality reliable sources" nor "supported by inline citations". Notifying the main contributors: A455bcd9 (talk) 18:24, 14 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Could you be more specific? It passed FA with these sources. — kwami (talk) 19:01, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I've added a few "Citation needed". There's also one section ("Computer encoding") with two short sentences: not ideal. A455bcd9 (talk) 21:36, 14 October 2022 (UTC)


 * I'm puzzled to be listed as a "main contributor" to this article when in fact I've never edited it, and only ever added a single reply to the talk page. How would anyone ever even get the idea? --Florian Blaschke (talk) 14:21, 17 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Ah... I've just realized my mistake, used this link instead of this one. So sorry for that... A455bcd9 (talk) 14:27, 17 October 2022 (UTC)

A455bcd9 has notified various WikiProjects, so I have filled that information above, and put the link for the diff. Z1720 (talk) 20:33, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
 * After skimming this article, I see lots of sentences and paragraphs that are not cited, which will need to be resolved. Z1720 (talk) 20:35, 14 October 2022 (UTC)

Review by a455bcd9


 * Paragraphs without sources.
 * Issues of "style", for instance in the (unsourced) "Rongorongo text corpus" table: "Yellowwood?", "Apparently a palimpsest", "Driftwood?". Doesn't look encyclopedical to me.
 * There are many explanatory notes, I don't know what are the best practices here and what the MOS says, but I feel like many could be added back to the main text or deleted to improve readability.
 * Fischer 1997 cited once without page numbers
 * "Computer encoding" section with only two short sentences: not ideal
 * It's also not clear whether some images are free or not, and some of them are not on Commons, for instance:
 * File:Rongorongo G-r Small Santiago (raw).jpg
 * File:Rongorongo K-v London (edge).jpg
 * Would be amazing to have SVG versions of all glyphs:
 * File:RR 211.42.png
 * File:RR 300.png
 * File:RR 062V.png
 * File:Rongorongo mo'ai pakapaka.png
 * File:RR 680.gif
 * File:Santiago-Staff-Compare-I12.jpg
 * External links: Is "The Rongorongo of Easter Island By Anonymous" of high quality?
 * What's "deŋeR" in ref3?
 * Do we have page numbers for Robinson (ref1)?
 * Would it be better to use Template:Sfn? (I can do the change if that's okay)


 * *deŋeR is a Proto-Austronesian reconstruction, here used as a headword. --Florian Blaschke (talk) 14:05, 17 October 2022 (UTC)
