Review section edit

I am nominating this featured article for review because several paragraphs are neither "verifiable against high-quality reliable sources" nor "supported by inline citations". Notifying the main contributors: @Kwamikagami, Ecphora, Tempshill, Florian Blaschke, and Ejoty: A455bcd9 (talk) 18:24, 14 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Could you be more specific? It passed FA with these sources. — kwami (talk) 19:01, 14 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I've added a few "Citation needed". There's also one section ("Computer encoding") with two short sentences: not ideal. A455bcd9 (talk) 21:36, 14 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'm puzzled to be listed as a "main contributor" to this article when in fact I've never edited it, and only ever added a single reply to the talk page. How would anyone ever even get the idea? --Florian Blaschke (talk) 14:21, 17 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ah... I've just realized my mistake, used this link instead of this one. So sorry for that... A455bcd9 (talk) 14:27, 17 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

A455bcd9 has notified various WikiProjects, so I have filled that information above, and put the link for the diff. Z1720 (talk) 20:33, 14 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

After skimming this article, I see lots of sentences and paragraphs that are not cited, which will need to be resolved. Z1720 (talk) 20:35, 14 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Review by a455bcd9

Paragraphs without sources.
Issues of "style", for instance in the (unsourced) "Rongorongo text corpus" table: "Yellowwood?", "Apparently a palimpsest", "Driftwood?". Doesn't look encyclopedical to me.
There are many explanatory notes, I don't know what are the best practices here and what the MOS says, but I feel like many could be added back to the main text or deleted to improve readability.
Fischer 1997 cited once without page numbers
"Computer encoding" section with only two short sentences: not ideal
It's also not clear whether some images are free or not, and some of them are not on Commons, for instance:
- File:Rongorongo G-r Small Santiago (raw).jpg
- File:Rongorongo K-v London (edge).jpg
Would be amazing to have SVG versions of all glyphs:
External links: Is "The Rongorongo of Easter Island By Anonymous" of high quality?
~~What's "deŋeR" in ref3?~~
Do we have page numbers for Robinson (ref1)?
Would it be better to use Template:Sfn? (I can do the change if that's okay)

*deŋeR is a Proto-Austronesian reconstruction, here used as a headword. --Florian Blaschke (talk) 14:05, 17 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
