I am starting a review of this article. North8000 (talk) 11:24, 3 October 2013 (UTC)

Review discussion

Nice article!

I'd be happy to try to learn enough to fix this myself, but the caption on the first map really doesn't say specifically say that the shadings represent. North8000 (talk) 11:38, 4 October 2013 (UTC)

Needs to have a lead which summarizes the article. Right now the lead has only two sentences. One defines the subject, and one makes a comment. Sincerely, North8000 (talk) 12:23, 7 October 2013 (UTC)

My general impression is that this will need a bit of work to meet GA, the kind that is typically accomplish-able during the review process. It is also starting to appear that nobody is involved here to the point of that type of participation. Even though I'm ready to help, I don't see where it can pass without that level of involvement/participation by someone. I'm going to be barely on wiki for the next 2 days and then off for about 9 days. If nobody shows up here in that role within another approx. 11 days, I'll be non-passing it due to the above.

GA criteria final checklist

Well-written

Factually accurate and verifiable

Broad in its coverage

Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without bias, giving due weight to each

Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute

Illustrated, if possible, by images

Result

I am forced to non-pass this article for the reason described in my October 10th post. In short, despite being a pretty good article, it would need to have an involved editor to get to the point of passage, and there is no involved editor. Sincerely,North8000 (talk) 17:33, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

Post closure discussion

@North8000: Sorry that I went on a Wikibreak after nominating this article. I have since returned, and have created the lead section requested. Please let me know what else I need to do before renominating this article.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 06:25, 5 September 2018 (UTC)

@RightCowLeftCoast: Welcome back! I did a quick look @RightCowLeftCoast: Welcome back! I did a quick look. Each reviewer is different, and a reviewer will look at in more depth. A few quick thoughts: Looks like the "lack of a lead" problem is solved. So these are just a few thoughts after a quick look.

The lead should summarize what's in the body. The first paragraph has three references that are not used in the body and that basic intro seems yp be missing from the body. Like: who is considered to be Asian American?

Has maps and charts but no images. Maybe a couple images would be nice. (?)

Overall, it looks goof to me.

@North8000:Well my initial reply was deleted, due to a server restart, so let me start over.

The reason for the three sources which are used in the lead section only, is to verify who the subjects of the article are. That is because this article is a spin out article of the parent article, Asian Americans; if need me I can include a summary of the parent article's "terminology" section, in order to justify the lead sentence. If this is needed, just ask, and I will begin to work on that.

As for lack of images, this is due to MOS:NOETHNICGALLERIES. The parent article use utilize multiple images, including group images, which were relevant to the article, that is until that MOS was created. I was not involved in the RfCs which established this.

If there is anything else I can do to improve the content of this article, please let me know.
