Wikipedia:Peer review/Lewis Hamilton/archive1

Lewis Hamilton
This article underwent a peer review a couple of months ago, resulting in its promotion to GA. I'm looking for assistance from experienced editors as to what further needs to be done in order to achieve FA status. Specific areas of concern are:

* Stability. A quick glance at the edit history would seem to suggest that the article is unstable. However the high volume of edits immediately after a Grand Prix are necessary to ensure that recent events (i.e. the last race) are covered in the same manner as the rest of the article and not given undue weight.
 * The length of the lead section. During GA myself and other regular contributors reached consensus that the lead was of acceptable length for the overall article's length, whilst the reviewer commented that it "would need be doubled or tripled in length to reach FA." Specifically are there any areas that appear to be sparsely covered in the lead, or any topics which should be given an extra sentence or two?

✅Resolved, subject to a current event template being added to this page during grand prix weekends and a thorough check of the prose afterwards.
 * Reliability of a specific source: see recent edit history and talk page relating to the f1fanatic site.

Please feel free to make additional comments and suggestions on any other areas of the article.

Thanks in advance. BeL1EveR 00:29, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Not Fully Done. I think the prose is of a good standard. However in response I will give article a thorough copyedit after the Hungarian Grand Prix and attempt to reduce redundant terms. I shall leave it for now as there is a grand prix weekend approaching and it would be more prudent to wait until the page is no longer documenting a current event. Thanks for the response!

Due to a number of factors, but primarily unforseen circumstances in the last race, some of these points will need to be put on hold until consensus is reached on how his F1 career should be covered. BeL1EveR 01:07, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
