GA Review

edit

I'm afraid it's a fail and principally because immediately you can see it's largely unreferenced and contains {{cn}} tags. I would suggest referencing a lot of sections and any other claims. But there is a lot to do overall.

Other things to do include

  • Expand the lead per WP:LEAD.
  • The positions of references should be immediately after the punctuation per WP:CITE. And don't add a second full stop after the citation. The references are also badly formatted.
  • Some dates are wikilinked, some aren't. See WP:DATE.
  • Check the use of dashes per WP:DASH.
  • Numerals less than ten should be written in full per WP:MOSNUM.
  • I would also suggest a copy-edit because there is some poor prose. Some examples include but not limited to:
    • "The ride was actually planned to open in Orlando and Hollywood at the same time but due to foundation problems, the Hollywood version opened 2 years later."
    • "First, Biff leads the riders to Hill Valley in 2015, where they chase him through town. They smash into neon signs, flying over neighborhoods and the town square, the chase culminating at the iconic clock tower."
    • "The first and final time traveler, to exit the halls of the Institute of Future Technology in Hollywood, on the day of September 3, 2007 was an 18 year old girl by the name of Irma Girón due to the efforts of the publicity manager of Universal Studios Hollywood."
    • "Visitors to the Institute wait outside the facility, where TV monitors showed a live video feed of Doc. Brown in 2015, as well as videos detailing Brown's inventions."
  • Don't force image sizes. And don't fill text between right and left-aligned images. See WP:IMAGE. Peanut4 (talk) 00:40, 17 August 2008 (UTC)Reply
