Talk:No worries/GA1

GA Review

Article (edit | visual edit | history) · Article talk (edit | history) · Watch
I have reviewed this article according to the requirements of the GA criteria and have placed the article on hold until the following issues are addressed. As you address each issue, either strike through the statement/place a check mark next to the issue and state how you addressed it (if necessary). If you disagree with a particular issue, state your rationale for doing so after the issue in question so a compromise can be reached.

1. Throughout the article, it bounces back and forth in using the serial comma. In the opening sentence "...meaning "do not worry about that", "that's alright", or "sure thing"." and then two sentences later "...represents a feeling of friendliness, good humour, optimism and "mateship"..." Choose one or the other and make sure to fix the several other occurrences in the article.
2. "The term has been compared to the American English equivalent "No problem"." Should No problem be lower-cased like the other meanings in the prior sentence?
3. Is there any gesture associated with saying "No worries"? I know some phrases have hand motions, head nods, etc. I saw mention of a section on a similar language article and just want to make sure if there is anything else to add to the brief article.
4. Are there any relevant external links that can be added?

Altogether, this brief article was informative on the topic and is well-sourced. I've been using the phrase in the last few years, and it was interesting to see the history of the phrase. I have left the article on hold for seven days for the issues to be addressed. These issues should be easy to fix and not take too long. If they are fixed in this time, I will pass the article. If not, the article may be failed and can be renominated at WP:GAN. If necessary to address the above issues, and progress is being made, an extension may be allowed. If you have any questions or when you are done, let me know on my talk page and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. Happy editing! --Nehrams2020 (talk) 01:12, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

Responses to GA Review

1. I went through the article and corrected these instances for uniformity - feel free to let me know if I missed any.
2. Changed this instance to lower case - good point.
3. In the sources I came across in my research I have not found anything discussing any particular accompanying gestures or hand motions - but if I do in the future I will certainly add it in, that could be an interesting point of research going forward. However like I said, the major research on the subject (mainly in works by Wierzbicka and others) do not seem to discuss any gestures/hand motions in relation to the term.
4. Good point - added an External links section.
