GA Review[edit]
GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria
This article is in decent shape, but it needs more work before it becomes a Good Article.
- Is it well written?
- A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:
- In the Plot section, "movie" should be replaced with "film".
- I rewrote portions of the plot and removed a portion of the sentence referencing the film itself. --Nehrams2020 (talk) 03:54, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
- In the Plot section, "movie" should be replaced with "film".
- B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:
- Seeing other articles, shouldn't the cast section be bolded, (ex: Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith). The article tends to have "red links", if they don't have articles, it would be best to un-link them, per here.
- I bolded the cast section and removed two of the red links. I think the rest have the possibility of being created as articles in the future. --Nehrams2020 (talk) 03:54, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
- Whoops, I removed them all. I think that you should reinsert them when the articles have actually been created, because they could take a while [to be created]. Corn.u.co.pia ♥ Disc.us.sion 13:49, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

- A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:
- Is it verifiable with no original research, as shown by a source spot-check?
- A. It contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline:
- B. Reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose):
- Does Reference 40 cover all this ---> "A video game titled Jumper: Griffin's Story was made for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 2, and Wii consoles. The storyline focuses on the character Griffin as he attempts to avenge the death of his parents. Nicholas Longano of the video game publisher Brash Entertainment stated, "From the very first script read, we knew this had to be made into a game. The teleportation elements make for some very compelling gameplay"?
- This reference does cover all three sentences. When referencing statements, my priority is to make sure all questionable content is sourced, and would have used two references to cover all three statements. If desired, I can use the reference multiple times, but the sentence concerning the different platforms and the plot of the game didn't seem necessary to source. Let me know if you want me to reuse the current inline citation. --Nehrams2020 (talk) 03:54, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

- A. It addresses the main aspects of the topic:
- Is it neutral?
- It represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each:
- In the Box office performance section, this ---> "in the hopes of pulling in business on Valentine's Day", sounds like POV.
- This is from the reference provided. Since the film was targeted at both men and women, it was believed that more tickets could be sold for Valentine's dates. Let me know if you need further clarification. --Nehrams2020 (talk) 03:54, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
