Talk:Fabulous Kangaroos

GA review

Ok I have gone through the entire article and copyedited to the best of my ability. (Although as I look at the clock its 12:35AM so my ability might be a bit less than normal :P) All kidding aside, I find it to be an interesting article and am glad I could help out with it. Basically, my version of copyediting includes grammar - spelling, puncuation, sentence structure, wording - trying to make things generally flow and sound better etc. I'm not saying its all 100% correct by ANY means but I know its a lot better than it was and believe I improved the quality of the article a great deal.

In addition to the grammar etc, I placed several {{Fact}} tags in the "Legacy" section of the article, because there are a lot of facts there that need to be referenced. Please only remove these tags after the facts have been referenced.

Someone else will need to review the article for things like notability (because the article is indeed long and I didn't know jack or sh*t about the Kangaroos before editing this article so I would only be guessing at notability issues in some cases). Also, if it hasn't been done already, someone needs to make sure all the references are correct and are all of the same format etc.

A question: Is their Offical name "The Fabulous Kangaroos" or "[the] Fabulous Kangaroos." Basically, is "the" an offical part of the team's name? If it is, then we need to go through the article and change all instances of "the Fabulous Kangaroos" to "The Fabulous Kangaroos".

Thank you SO much for all the copyediting, I appriciate it so much (and it'll be applied to the Costello, Heffernan and Kent articles as well so you've helped 4 articles). I removed the fact tags because every single word in the legacy section are covered by the citations provided. I put them at the end of the section they covered instead of having them ever 1-2 sentences (then it'd be the same sitation 3 times in a row) I wrote the "Legacy" section well aware of it's weasel potential and made sure it's 100% covered by the source. I dunno what you mean "review for notability"? and the citations are right & formatted correct, it's one thing I pride myself in and I added them all. the name is "The Fabulous Kangaroos", I'll fix the capitalization.

By notability I mean, because the article is so long I'm wondering if every match that is mentioned and every title defense etc really needs to be mentioned ..like, I wonder if some of it could be summarized more? Just a thought. We really need more people to look at this article. --Naha|^(talk) 17:24, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

I also went ahead and took care of changing all the "the's" to "The's" in all the mentions of their names :) --Naha|^(talk) 17:47, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

The article is well written with good prose, good citations, and a notable topic. It's quite interesting and very descriptive. It could use a few more photos, though; this might help to break up the large sections of text. I don't see any significant WP:NPOV or stability issues with the article, either. Overall, this article meets the Good Article criteria, and will be listed. Cheers! Dr. Cash 02:19, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
