Hello! I will be reviewing this article for possible GA status. My review should be posted shortly. Nikkimaria (talk) 02:34, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

1. Is it reasonably well written?

   A. Prose quality:

   Prose is repetitious and of mediocre quality. Excessive use of the verb "to feature", particularly in the lead. Lead tense does not match article. Suggest copy-editing to improve clarity and flow.

   B. MoS compliance for lead, layout, words to watch, fiction, and lists:

   Lead includes information not mentioned in article text. Layout is inefficient and involves excessive white space. Should not repeat references in External links. Some inappropriate/uncited use of words to watch.

2. Is it factually accurate and verifiable?

   A. References to sources:

   See here for problematic links. Need more independent sources.

   B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:

   Because of the dead link, I am unable to verify that ref 4 supports the statistics regarding the television show.

   C. No original research:

3. Is it broad in its coverage?

   A. Major aspects:

   The first sentence: "Planet Earth Live is a 2010 BBC nature documentary film". However, the almost exclusive focus of the article is the premiere/tour. Need more information about the film and less about the tour to be balanced and to cover all major aspects.

   B. Focused:

   Undue weight given to information on the tour.

4. Is it neutral?

   Fair representation without bias:

   See above concern regarding WP:W2W

5. Is it stable?

   No edit wars, etc:

6. Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?

   A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:

   B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:

   Why are there 5 images and 6 venues?

7. Overall:

   Pass or Fail:

   Unfortunately, not at GA status at this time. Please re-nominate once the concerns here have been adequately addressed. Nikkimaria (talk) 03:01, 29 September 2010 (UTC)
