Review

Nevermind, another quickfail. Please atleast read the criteria before nominating next time. I'm getting sick of these. Incase your wondering, there are about 200 tags in the article. Fix it. ★★KING RETROLORD★★ 11:05, 20 July 2013 (UTC)

Not the nom here, but I've been slowing working through improving the MBTA articles and I figure the main article should get a bump. Aside from the cns (and converting that ugly chart to a native graph), what else is needed to push the article towards GA? Pi.1415926535 (talk) 14:20, 20 July 2013 (UTC)

@Pi.1415926535:

Here's a list I have for GA artricle prep:

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.
