I will do a GA Reassessment on this article as part of the GA Sweeps project. H1nkles (talk) 16:52, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for the time spent working on an article about F3 racing. Since the F1 boys get all the glory it's gratifying to see work done to promote those that toil in the minor leagues. Keep up the good work.

That said there are some signficant issues with this article when it is put up against the GA Criteria:

• It is very dated. The newest information is from 2007. This needs to be addressed throughout the article. That speaks to the comprehensive requirement.
• The Driver and Teams section is completely uncited and seems to cut off at the end of the last paragraph with a semi colon. Is there more to add here that didn't get added? Also the first sentence in this section is very vague, it doesn't help the reader understand why it is a multi-nationals entry list. What is the F3 profile referred to here?
• Citing. I added a few tags to the article but many more could have been added. The Champions table needs to be cited, the Specifications section is uncited. The 2004 season is uncited.
• The lead is inadequate. Per WP:Lead the lead is to be a summary of every point made in the article. The lead in this article is missing the history of F3, the venues, along with some of the technical information.
• Per WP:Units the KM measurements should have the (miles) conversion in parentheses.
• The reference section is not correctly formatted. Each reference should at least have the name, publisher, and accessdate. Ref 27 has a publisher, the rest do not. Also important inclusions are the work (if it is taken from a journal, newspaper or magazine), date of the article, and author if one exists. Also I find 13 dead or outdated links, almost half of the reference section is dead. That has to be addressed. Here are the suspect references: 5, 6, 8, 10, 11, 16, 17, 19, 21, 22, 23, 24, 26. Now my checklinks tool has had some problems lately so if some of these links are ok then I apologize.
• All of these issues are important to keeping the article at GA quality. I will put the article on hold for a week pending work, and notify the interested editors and projects. H1nkles (talk) 17:37, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

Since no work has been done on this review I will delist. H1nkles (talk) 02:54, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
