GA Review Prep

Reviewing |
Toolbox |
---|
Things to do:
- Fix all problems indicated by template boxes, inline tags, & on the Talk page.
- Fix any problems revealed by running the GA & FA tools.
- Look at WP:Start-Class & WP:C-Class. Fix those gaps.
- Make sure it meets all of the WP:BCLASS criteria. An article should be at B-class, before asking for a GA Review. Template:B-class review is an overview.
- Consider adding an Infobox.
- Fix the formatting, so it works well on very wide & very narrow windows.
- Look at the Mobile view of the article, & resolve any issues it uncovers.
- Convert all the citations to a consistent citation style. Either the {{Cite or {{sfn templates.
- Verify all citations. Fix dead links. Fill in all useful fields on the citation templates. E.g quote, ISBN & ISSN.
- To prevent future link rot, Archive each citation, & add the parameters
|archiveurl= |archivedate= |deadurl=yes & usually !quote= to each citation template. - Add more citations.
- Finally, work through both the WP:Good_articles & WP:Featured_articles, as well as their sub-articles, & fix shortcomings. That is, try doing the review yourself, & resolve the shortcomings.
