I'm glad to help review this article for GA status. I can report that the article looks good at first glance and I'll begin looking over the prose and references today. Sewageboy (talk) 20:56, 10 September 2022 (UTC)
History
edit- "...and was given a tribute by the Yankees front office before the May 14 game against the Seattle Mariners, a game in which Dwight Gooden pitched a no-hitter." It should be noted that Gooden threw the no-hitter for the Yankees since a casual reader might not know which team he was on.
- Specified that Gooden threw the no-hitter for the Yankees. -- LuK3 (Talk) 23:53, 10 September 2022 (UTC)
- Second paragraph -- change fan's to fans'
- Changed. -- LuK3 (Talk) 23:53, 10 September 2022 (UTC)
- In the fourth paragraph, Tino Martinez is mentioned for the first time in the article, but he is not denoted as the first baseman and his article isn't linked. It looks like his article is linked on his second mention, located in the "Roll Call" subsection, so you can just move that up to the first mention.
- Specified Martinez was the Yankees first baseman, wikilink also added. -- LuK3 (Talk) 23:53, 10 September 2022 (UTC)
- To keep it concise, "Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States" can be changed to "US Supreme Court Justice".
- Cut down the title to "U.S. Supreme Court Justice". -- LuK3 (Talk) 23:53, 10 September 2022 (UTC)
- The current sixth paragraph (beginning with "The Yankees have instituted rules") would be better situated immediately after the current third paragraph ("Because of the rowdiness").
- Paragraph moved. -- LuK3 (Talk) 23:53, 10 September 2022 (UTC)
- "9-year alcohol ban" -> "nine-year alcohol ban"
- Done.
- In the Nick Swisher quote, "Rightfielder" should be lowercase.
- Changed to "right fielder". -- LuK3 (Talk) 23:53, 10 September 2022 (UTC)
- The final sentence of the section about the beer sales being a trial run -- is this up-to-date information? If the beer sales are still considered tentative as of the past ~5 years, it's fine, but since the source is from over 10 years ago, I'm assuming it's no longer considered a trial.
- I'll have to do a bit of research about any current alcohol ban. I will get back to this one. -- LuK3 (Talk) 23:53, 10 September 2022 (UTC)
- Unfortunately I could not find any news articles about any current alcohol bans. I found info on the Yankees Stadium official information guide which I included. -- LuK3 (Talk) 00:28, 11 September 2022 (UTC)
- I'll have to do a bit of research about any current alcohol ban. I will get back to this one. -- LuK3 (Talk) 23:53, 10 September 2022 (UTC)
Notable exceptions
edit- All the mentions about former players returning and receiving chants (Wells, Soriano, and Damon) should be organized in the same paragraph in chronological order. Right now, they are scattered throughout the subsection in random spots.
- Article links needed for the following mentions: Cleveland Indians, Johnny Damon, Mariano Rivera
The Cowbell Man
edit- Remove "Creature" from "Creature Milton Ousland" -- it is implied he is part of the group and having the title there could potentially create confusion about his name
- Done. -- LuK3 (Talk) 23:56, 10 September 2022 (UTC)
Other chants and jeers
edit- Put a semicolon after "policy"
- Done. -- LuK3 (Talk) 23:54, 10 September 2022 (UTC)
The move to Section 203
edit- Italicize New York Daily News
Controversy and reception
edit- "However, undercover New York City Police Department officers have issued tickets for public intoxication..." Should be clarified that these tickets were issued to the Creatures
- Specified it was the Creatures who received the tickets. -- LuK3 (Talk) 23:55, 10 September 2022 (UTC)
General notes
edit- Throughout the article, there is variance in the capitalization of roll call/roll callers. For consistency, it should either be capitalized or lowercase in every instance.
- Also noticed that there is some variance in the capitalization of "section" throughout the article
The prose is very good -- thank you for your work. Next, I will look over the references, images, and some other minor aspects of the article. Sewageboy (talk) 23:25, 10 September 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you for the comments Sewageboy. I'll address the points throughout the weekend. -- LuK3 (Talk) 23:57, 10 September 2022 (UTC)
References
edit- In the second paragraph of the history section, Bondy is quoted as calling the Creatures "a core group of the most rabid, passionate fans". The cited source at the end of the paragraph doesn't seem to have this quote in it. Add a source for this quote from Bondy
- In the source cited for the last sentence of the current fourth paragraph in the History section, I can't find anything that says the stadium staff have been chanted at as the prose says. I might have missed something, but all I see is the interviewed staff saying that the Creatures are obnoxious.
- Current citation number 40 ("For Jason Giambi, visit to new Yankee Stadium is sinking in") is a dead link
- Current sources number 19 and 59 in The Cowbell Man subsection are duplicates. One should be removed
- Current source number 63 ("Fun with the Bleacher Creatures in the Bronx") doesn't make any mention of a "No fun allowed!" chant as stated in the prose
- I either reworded the sentence that is verified in the reference or removed the unsourced material outright. -- LuK3 (Talk) 16:08, 11 September 2022 (UTC)
Other notes
edit- Earwig's tool found no instances of WP:COPYVIO, only matches for quotes.
- The images are all licensed properly
- There is no edit-warring or article instability
Once the outstanding issues are resolved, I will proceed with a GA pass. Thank you for your work on this article, LuK3. Sewageboy (talk) 06:33, 11 September 2022 (UTC)
