Bruno Lanteri
editI launched a project in late 2013 to start a biographic article on the Italian priest-founder Fr. Bruno Lanteri, currently Venerable. Visit the project page here: User:Paulmnguyen/Lanteri. I hope the writing will proceed smoothly and it can quickly be made available in the various languages indicated on that project page.

This peer review discussion has been closed.
WP:LINUX wishes to take this article to FA quality. I copyedited the article recently but received no attention at Talk:GNOME#Peer_review_imminent. I just finished rearranging the sections in order to convey a stronger article structure and I would like some outside input on the scope and depth of coverage in this article. I think it is sourced fairly well, but I do not know what all is expected of an FA-class article in terms of what is already present in this article and what else should be added. A quick glance at current FAs would lead me to believe this one is short.
Many thanks, –Paul M. Nguyen (chat|blame) 02:49, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
- Later What is the GPL and why is it important? (Yes, I know the answer to this)
- Later The third paragraph of the History section is actually about KDE and appears to be taken from an article about KDE or desktops
- Done I don't think having a gallery in the body of the text is stylistically acceptable
- Done The "Future developments" section appears vestigial and extraneous.
- Done The "GNOME 3.0" section does not explain why this is an important version that deserves inclusion in the article, considering the main History header is only 3 paragraphs. Remove it?
- Done PMN: could be blended and the section break removed. Consider better organization of History content.
- Later PMN: need to expand the pre-3.0 releases section to discuss major breakthroughs then. move graphics to each section once written
- Later The article should not be primarily constructed around primary sources. Please find outside sources such as Ars Technica or reliable Linux news sites, and fix {{fact}} tags
- Later Too many lists in the "Project structure" section
- Later Too many one-sentence paragraphs
- Later Screenshots are too squinty and could be improved

- Thank you! I'll be going over all of that and any dangling issues from the previous PR on my way to FA. Thanks, again! –Paul M. Nguyen (chat|blame) 02:43, 13 November 2010 (UTC)
Later I think it would be useful to explain what KDE is in the start of the History section. The text presupposes a knowledge of these projects. Maury Markowitz (talk) 02:51, 26 November 2010 (UTC)
Pnm made some structural edits to the release history and had two suggestions relating to the release gallery:
- Later Provide in the caption a highlight from each release
- Later Add an entry for the upcoming 3.0 release (maybe the existing screenshot can just be moved).
- Later Also, how about combining the numerous citations to GNOME press releases (in the release table) to one citation that points to http://www.gnome.org/press/releases/ ? Having so many makes the references section more difficult to use, and as primary sources, those citations aren't especially important.
