Hey there! I'll be reviewing this article, but this one will take a bit longer because at the moment, I have an overwhelming amount of homework I need to finish. Tarantula^TM (speak with me) (my legacy) 03:43, 19 October 2023 (UTC)

Wow, I can't thank you enough for reviewing my nominations. Don't worry, take your time. Skyshifter ^talk 12:25, 19 October 2023 (UTC)

Update: I've been thinking about blocking myself because it's kind of getting in the way of finishing my homework. I address this because I don't have time in my day to review this article. Tarantula^TM (speak with me) (my legacy) 04:26, 24 October 2023 (UTC)

@TrademarkedTarantula: I'm fine with waiting, but if you think you can't finish it, I can ask for another reviewer. Up to you though. Skyshifter ^talk 14:27, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

I'll ask another reviewer. Skyshifter ^talk 01:38, 1 December 2023 (UTC)

Go ahead; I've completely lost interest in this. Tarantula^TM (speak with me) (my legacy) 04:28, 1 December 2023 (UTC)

Not the GA nominator, but don't worry about it. I applaud your efforts for trying to help, and life should always take priority, especially education. I'm not going to review this for similar time-based reasons, but I remember proofreading this a while ago and being impressed with the detail and contextualisation of the event.

Rate	Attribute	Review Comment
1. Well-written:
	1a. the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct.
	1b. it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation.
2. Verifiable with no original research:
	2a. it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline.
	2b. reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose).
	2c. it contains no original research.
	2d. it contains no copyright violations or plagiarism.
3. Broad in its coverage:
	3a. it addresses the main aspects of the topic.
	3b. it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style).
	4. Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.
	5. Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute.	Article is stable; no edit wars have occured at the time of this review.
6. Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio:
	6a. media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content.	The first image, Will Smith slapping Chris Rock, has a fair use rationale. The three celebrity images below it come from Flickr under a CC Attribution 2.0 license.
	6b. media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions.	Images provide sufficient context and have suitable captions.
	7. Overall assessment.

Important comments / concerns

• The image of Smith slapping Rock is used twice: in the infobox and at the photograph section. Remove the second instance of Smith slapping Rock.
  • Removed. Skyshifter ^talk 21:23, 19 October 2023 (UTC)

Lead

• ...with what appeared to be an open palm strike... - remove "what appeared to be"; it indicates uncertainty and is similar to a weasel word
  • Removed Skyshifter ^talk 14:27, 31 October 2023 (UTC)
• but completed his presentation without further interruption. -> "but continued his presentation"
  • Fixed Skyshifter ^talk 14:27, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

Given the relatively incomplete status of this review, and the withdrawal of the reviewer, I am closing this GAN as a failure on technical grounds and restoring the original nomination to better attract a fresh reviewer. CMD (talk) 04:04, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
