Aliso Creek- FA Review (20090507) edit

It is: edit

  • Well written?
  Prose is engaging: It is factual and neutral, but may not be interesting enough.
  Brilliant: See previous.
  Professional: Perhaps, but not enough.
  • Comprehensive?
  Neglects no major facts: Should be a relatively complete description of the topic.
  Places subject in context: Stays on topic and does not stray far from the main topic, the creek and watershed.
  • Well researched?
 Thorough, representative survey of relative literature: Don’t know.
  Reliable sources: Most sources are either from Orange County Watershed, a local government source that should be credible, or from a large array of different news articles, which all largely agree on info.
  References and inline citations: Has a sufficient references section (50-something refs) and has many inline citations, mostly formatted correctly and only needs minor cleanup for repeats.
  • Neutral?
  Fair and w/o bias: Although the creek is a huge pollution problem, the article doesn’t continuously argue from an environmentalist point of view; it contains more general info.
  • Stable?
  No edit wars: None at all; the article has been mostly stable for many months.
  Content does not change significantly from day to day: I occasionally add a few sentences of content each day; otherwise the article should be stable.

Style guidelines edit

  • Lead section?
  Concise and detailed for all topics covered: I have been always a little troubled on lead sections, but it has passed the GA review without much incident.
  • Appropriate structure:
  Section headings and substantial table of contents: Yes, each section has an appropriate title and heading. TOC is not too complicated.
  Consistent citations: Yes, each paragraph has at least 1-2 citations, though most have around 2-3.
  • Images?
  Image use policies: All images used in the article are either self-work, released under Public domain or Creative Commons, or taken from a source that allows public use (Planiglobe).
  Captions: Captions should be fine with a few small flaws that may need to be addressed to meet FA status.
  • Length?
  Stays focused: Most of the article stays on topic but the geography section in "Overview" may need a little simplifying (though I feel it is fine and does not need to be addressed).
