GA Sweeps: On hold
editAs part of the WikiProject Good Articles, we're doing Sweeps to determine if the article should remain a Good article. I went through the article and made various changes, please look them over. I believe the article currently meets the majority of the criteria and should remain listed as a Good article. However, in reviewing the article, I have found there are several issues that needs to be addressed.
"The UK and German championships will be merged into a new pan-European series in 2008." Can this be updated?- "Formula BMW is what is sometimes referred to as a "slicks and wings" formula, which describes the use of slick tires and downforce-generating wings at the front and rear." Needs a citation.
"It was recently announced that 2007 would be the last year for Formula BMW UK, as it makes way for the new pan-European championship, which leaves Marcus Ericsson of Sweden as the last UK champion." This needs to be updated.- The stats in the "Drivers' champions" section is uncited.
- All of the dates need to be unlinked. This would be a good time to update the access dates as well after verifying all of the links work. Right now, there are multiple dead links that need to be fixed. The Internet Archive can help in fixing them.
- It seems like there should be more coverage of the 2008 season throughout the article. Has there been any major updates to the formula?
This article covers the topic well and is still in pretty good shape after I reviewed it in 2007. I will leave the article on hold for seven days, but if progress is being made and an extension is needed, one may be given. If no progress is made, the article may be delisted, which can then later be renominated at WP:GAN. I'll contact all of the main contributors and related WikiProjects so the workload can be shared. If you have any questions, let me know on my talk page and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 (talk • contrib) 21:47, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
GA Sweeps: Delisted
editThe article has been on hold for a week and only a few of the minor improvements were made. As a result I have delisted the article as it still has a way to go before meeting the GA criteria. Continue to improve the article, addressing the issues above. Once they are addressed, please renominate the article at WP:GAN. I look forward to seeing the further improvement of the article, and don't hesitate to contact me if you need assistance with any of these. If you disagree with this review, a community consensus can be reached at WP:GAR. If you have any questions, let me know on my talk page and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. --Happy editing!
