Tikal the Echidna
1st peer review

I'm striving for featured article status, so what do you think can be done to improve the article? --71.105.12.115 04:49, 22 May 2006 (UTC)


 * It looks good to me - well done. Perhaps expand "personality" just a tiny little bit if possible. RN 05:09, 22 May 2006 (UTC)


 * I'd consider converting the refs to the WP:FN system (see also User:Cyde/Ref converter)
 * Note also that references should go directly after puncuation, and never should be preceded by a space
 * It might be an idea to reduce the resolution of Image:Tikalx.jpg.
 * FA will probably protest the short paragraphs in "personality"
 * Try to reduce multiple links to the same article. A given article should not be linked more than once.
 * While at it, you might want to adjust links that point to disambiguation pages (such as Archie)
 * Have you looked at Guide to writing better articles? Itmight provide useful hints

Thanks! I'll try to fix those problems. Are there any other suggestions? --71.105.10.216 18:37, 22 May 2006 (UTC)


 * This article is a bit list-weighty; in other words, some of the lists should be converted to prose (paragraph form).


 * There are a few sections that are too short and that should be either expanded or merged.


 * Please alphabetize the categories and interlanguage links.
 * Can you make Image:Tikeyes.gif any larger? I can't read the caption there.


 * The lead of this article may be too long, or may contain too many paragraphs. Please follow guidelines at WP:LEAD; be aware that the lead should adequately summarize the article.


 * This article can use copyediting to ensure that the it exemplifies some of Wikipedia's best work.

Thanks, I'll try to fix it. Is there any other advice? --71.118.84.247 04:18, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Every paragraph should have a citation. --Hetar 05:47, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Now that would be a bit strict; every section should have a citation if possible, but every paragraph may be a bit extreme, depending upon the nature of the article. AndyZ t 19:30, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Actually, I saw a featured article have four references before (Tikal's article has five)...unless that's not a citation...Anyhow I put references in the right place, reduced multiple links in the same article, adjusted disambiguation pages, expanded sections, merged short sections, alphabetized categories, and copyedited. Unfortunately, I can't reduce the resolution of the Sonic X image or make the Sonic Pinball Party picture any larger. I'm sorry! But that won't stop it from becoming a featured article, would it? --71.104.188.113 05:48, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
 * So what other improvements can I make to the article? --71.104.189.245 03:55, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I really would like to have the article reach featured status - I've been working hard to improve it. So how else can this article be improved? --71.118.80.60 18:04, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
