Applegeeks
I believe this article requires more editing before attaining good article status, and I have submitted it for peer review to receive suggestions on how to do so. JimmyBlackwing 14:24, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
 * At a glance, "Characters" should be its own primary section. Condense the individual subsections into paragraphs or bulletted lists. Per WP:MOSHEAD, headings should not include the article's name without a good reason, and they should employ "sentence" capitalization. "Artistic Directions" has some minor POV issues you might want to look into. Once these issues are done, you're probably at GA-status. To clinch and exceed GA-status, "Book" could probably be merged into the lead. You might also want to "Applegeeks Lite" or trim and place it in the lead. On that note, the lead might get a little large for such a small article, so consider cutting or moving the current third paragraph if you can't find a source for it. (Right now, there's only the article's and Applegeek's word that the work was compared to Mac Hall. Consider rephrasing.) It would probably be better to convert the in-line external links to citations or to prose, if you keep them at all. In particular, give examples of the cameos, don't just link blindly to them. For what it's worth, Applegeeks have crossed-over into Megatokyo at least once. What is the page-ranking, popularity vis-a-vis other webcomics? Are there any secondary sources on the Net not directly related to the authors or website? --Monocrat 14:45, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
 * The images also require beefier Fair Use rationales. And has permission really been granted to use a whole page of the comic on Wikipedia?--Monocrat 14:52, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for the suggestions, I'll get right on them. I am not sure whether or not permission was actually granted to use the strip, however - I was not involved in the strip's inclusion. As for the page ranking, Alexa traffic rankings shows it at around 15,000, compared to Megatokyo's 8,500 and Penny-Arcade's 1,500. I am also not sure about secondary sources - I will have to look.

 * The following suggestions were generated by a semi-automatic javascript program, and may or may not be accurate for the article in question (due to possible javascript errors/uniqueness of articles).


 * Per WP:CONTEXT and WP:MOSDATE, months and days of the week generally should not be linked. Years, decades, and centuries can be linked if they provide context for the article.


 * Per WP:MOSNUM, there should be a non-breaking space -  between a number and the unit of measurement. For example, instead of 18mm, use 18 mm, which when you are editing the page, should look like: 18&amp;nbsp;mm.


 * Per WP:MOSNUM, please spell out source units of measurements in text; for example, "the Moon is 380,000 kilometres (240,000 mi) from Earth.


 * Per WP:MOS, headings generally should not repeat the title of the article. For example, if the article was Ferdinand Magellan, instead of using the heading  ==Magellan's journey== , use  ==Journey== .


 * Please alphabetize the categories and interlanguage links.


 * Please ensure that the article has gone through a thorough copyediting so that the it exemplifies some of Wikipedia's best work. See also User:Tony1/How to satisfy Criterion 2a.
 * You may wish to browse through User:AndyZ/Suggestions (and the javascript checklist; see the last paragraph in the lead) for further ideas.
