GA Reassessment

I am nominating this for a GA reassessment per the previously failed GAN. Part of the previous fail was partly on my part (as I have been very busy the last few days), on the part of the reviewer, whom I have disagreed with parts of the assessment, and partly on blatant disruption caused by a sock puppet of an indefinitely blocked user that may have tanked the nomination.
The largest points of disagreement were the following:
- The desire of having everything in the lead cited; I disagreed, pointing at WP:LEADCITE, which doesn't require citations (except quotes) of anything that is already cited in the article's main body. The lead should summarize what is said in the article, which is a reflection of what the sources give.
- Whether or not the fact that, in the Sega Genesis version of the game, players need to spell "CHAMPION" to upgrade their car is relevant to the article or not. I disagreed, saying it was relevant as it differs from the NES version (where "NINTENDO" is spelled).
I tried to clean up after the last 50 or so edits made by Anger-Cola (talk · contribs) (who was later indefinitely blocked as a sock puppet of 1007D (talk · contribs)), who basically did made a series of "drive-by edits" and made the article's prose even worse, not to mention attempted to change everything to British English, which is not necessary; that there helped tank the previous GAN.
All being said above, I feel the problems have been adequately addressed and that the article meets the relevant GA criteria for this to pass, and as such, I am requesting a reassessment of the article. –MuZemike 16:46, 24 August 2011 (UTC)
- Support - it's a fine article, and I absolutely agree with both of your points listed. I was bummed when I saw that it failed. Tough break with the sock. --Teancum (talk) 12:21, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
- Its been over a month with no comments, but with one person supporting it being a good article, its as equal as an actual review. I'm promoting it. GamerPro64 21:19, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
