Nadia Comăneci[edit]

I believe this is a well written article about a famous sportswoman. I believe it could reach GA-status. Nergaal 13:03, 14 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The article looks very good. A few brief comments...
  • The WP:LEDE doesn't summarize the article as a whole. This would disqualify you from GA status.
  • I didn't see a Non-Free Use rationale on the Image.. se Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline.
  • People argue about whether page numbers should be included in citations. I won't go into their motivations for arguing; I'll just say that the way I read WP:CITE makes me think that page numbers should be given. One way to to do this when using the footnote style of citations is to have two separate sections: One for the full reference of the book (publisher, title etc.) and one for the author's name, year and page number. See Georg Cantor for an example. As I said, some would argue that this is unnecessary. I think they haven't read WP:CITE closely.
  • In cases where no page number is possible or where the info is taaken from the same page of a book, you can use "named references." See the section about naming ref tags on Wikipedia:Footnotes. I did one for you as an example: The International Gymnast magazine references (six of them).
  • While I'm thiking of that website, it mentions that Nadia was "named one of the Athletes of the Century." I didn't see that in the article, did I miss it? I think it is important info.
  • Ummm, that's all. I didn't see any WP:MOS issues other than a double hyphen that i corrected — but I'm not a WP:MOS expert. Good luck! Ling.Nut (talk) 10:04, 22 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comments, book sources need page numbers, and I have serious doubts that this is a reliable source. I made some MOS and other changes; please refer to my edit summaries and inline comments.[1] I also have doubts that Gymn-forum is a reliable source. I suggest you improve the sourcing, and improve the formatting of the sources (per WP:CITE/ES) before approaching GA. Also, read up on WP:DASH, WP:MOSDATE and MOS:CAPS#All caps.
