• Lead too short, doesn't summarise the whole article per WP:LEAD.

• Is it Griffon or Griffon? (Suggest you apply these common fixes to all the GANs you have nominated)

This looks consistent to me...can't find anything wrong.--Dom497 (talk) 19:07, 13 September 2013 (UTC)

Article title. Intro of article. That's just the first two instances... The Rambling Man (talk) 19:39, 13 September 2013 (UTC)

Well, Apollo's Chariot, Nemesis (roller coaster), Batman: The Ride, Air (roller coaster), Green Lantern Coaster, Scream (roller coaster) all are like Griffon (and those are just a few articles).--Dom497 (talk) 20:31, 13 September 2013 (UTC)

I don't get your point. Is it italicised or not? Be consistent. It's somewhat irrelevant what "other" articles do. The Rambling Man (talk) 09:51, 14 September 2013 (UTC)

Not worth discussing it...I have removed the italics.--Dom497 (talk) 20:10, 19 September 2013 (UTC)

• Link Dive Coaster in the lead.

It already is at the very beginning.--Dom497 (talk) 19:07, 13 September 2013 (UTC)

• "opening date.[7][6]" numerical order please.

 Fixed--Dom497 (talk) 19:07, 13 September 2013 (UTC)

• "restraint with a seatbelt.[14][7][16] " ditto.

• "One of Griffon's trains passing through the splashdown element." incomplete sentences in captions don't need a full stop.

 Fixed--Dom497 (talk) 19:07, 13 September 2013 (UTC)

• Should "Build It Bigger" be in italics like normal TV shows?

 Fixed--Dom497 (talk) 19:07, 13 September 2013 (UTC)

• Use Floorless coaster in the article rather than have it as a See also.

 Done--Dom497 (talk) 19:09, 13 September 2013 (UTC)

• Check refs for en-dash, e.g. ref 32 title needs one.

 Done...I think.--Dom497 (talk) 20:18, 19 September 2013 (UTC)

• Category calls it a "hypercoaster" but this isn't covered at all in the article.

This has to do with the infobox coding but I have no idea how to remove it. @Themeparkgc: any help?--Dom497 (talk) 20:07, 19 September 2013 (UTC)

The infobox automatically categorises roller coasters which are between 200 and 299 feet (61 and 91 m) as hypercoasters per the main article. We could add a parameter to disable that categorisation when set, if you need to. Themeparkgc  Talk  06:25, 20 September 2013 (UTC)

It's a little dangerous to have auto-categorising infoboxes, for this very reason. I have no idea what a hypercoaster is, and it's not mentioned in the article at all, so it's a surprise to me (and probably other readers) that it should be categorised as such without it being included. The Rambling Man (talk) 16:12, 24 September 2013 (UTC)

I've added the parameter as an interim measure so the category does not appear on this article. A wider discussion will need to take place prior to the removal of the categorisation to other articles. I'll start this at a later date. Themeparkgc  Talk  02:09, 25 September 2013 (UTC)

• " wwwCOASTERFORCEcom/YouTube." what?

 Fixed--Dom497 (talk) 19:07, 13 September 2013 (UTC)

• Ref 12, where does Daily Press come from?

 Done--Dom497 (talk) 19:07, 13 September 2013 (UTC)

I'll put it on hold for a week. The Rambling Man (talk) 16:07, 13 September 2013 (UTC)

@The Rambling Man: Sorry I took so long...I've been getting lots of homework. Anyway, I have addressed all your comments. :) --Dom497 (talk) 20:18, 19 September 2013 (UTC)

• Lead is still too short. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:21, 19 September 2013 (UTC)

Whoops, missed that point. I'm on it!--Dom497 (talk) 20:27, 19 September 2013 (UTC)

@The Rambling Man: How about now?--Dom497 (talk) 20:35, 19 September 2013 (UTC)

Better, a comment above.... The Rambling Man (talk) 16:12, 24 September 2013 (UTC)
