The Noah Family edit

This peer review discussion has been closed.
I've listed this article for peer review because I've recently rewritten the entire article to a point where I believe it follows the MoS. I believe I also need someone's second opinion. However, I still don't know if the tone is appropriate. Other things I would like to know:

  • Is the lead sufficient?
  • Is there any needless detail or is anything too general?
  • Are they any terms exclusive to the series that are not fully explained?
  • Are the paragraphs and sentences structured properly?
  • Any statement that can be challenged?
  • Does any statement go against NPOV?
  • Is the basic grammar okay?
  • Is it easily accessible?

Ruhrfisch comments: Very briefly, here are some suggestions for improvement. If you want more comments, please ask here.

  • I agree with the cleanup tags - this needs to be rewritten from an out of universe perspective - see WP:IN-U Everything in here appears to be gleaned from reading the series - there is nothing in terms of critical reception (what have critics written about these characters) or even comments from the creator(s) of the series about them.
  • Almost all of the references are from the work of fiction itself - what makes this Family notable? WHere are the independent third-party sources wrting about this topic? See WP:NN
  • A model article is often useful for ideas and examples to follow - Jabba the Hutt and Palpatine are FAs on fictional characters
  • No images - hopw about a fair use image or perhaps a free one of the author / illustrator could be found?
  • Article needs more references, for example many paragraphs are uncited. My rule of thumb is that every quote, every statistic, every extraordinary claim and every paragraph needs a ref.

Hope this helps. If my comments are useful, please consider peer reviewing an article, especially one at Wikipedia:Peer review/backlog (which is how I found this article). Yours, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 18:34, 25 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
