Globalize tag

[edit]

Opening should make clear which country this person is running for President in. Not sure if this is different from the deleted version, either, to know if speedy deletion would apply. 331dot (talk) 16:41, 21 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

AfD discussion

[edit]

I think this article never got deleted per the deletion discussion, but seeing as how his campaign was successful, the discussion obviously no longer applies. Icebob99 (talk) 16:36, 21 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No, the article would have been deleted on 13 October 2015 as noted. A new article of the same name was started the following month after Duterte actually started his campaign; if you look at the article history, you can see the creation date in November 2015.

GA Review

[edit]
This review is transcluded from Talk:Rodrigo Duterte presidential campaign, 2016/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

Reviewer: Icebob99 (talk · contribs) 16:37, 21 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]


Hi, I'll be reviewing this article for GA status. I'll list off significant concerns that need to be addressed in one section and have another section with my optional suggestions. I'll then check it against the six criteria and administer a pass or a fail. Icebob99 (talk) 16:37, 21 December 2016 (UTC) First thing that needs to be said about this article is that its deletion discussion appears to be obsolete, seeing as the campaign was successful. I mentioned this in the talk page as well.[reply]

GA criteria concerns

[edit]
  • Lead section length. Per what BlueMoonset brought up below. WP:LEADLENGTH does have a guideline that articles 30kB readable prose should have a two to three paragraph lead.
  • Copyvios from references. Again per what BlueMoonset brought up. As an example, reference #3 (as of now) contains closely-phrased material, so do others.

Suggestions

[edit]
  • Citations in the lead: those could easily be moved to somewhere in the body. I'm doing it myself. I should note that one of the citations in the lead was repeated later on, reference was not named. Repeated references, in general, should use a name and not repeat the entire thing.
  • A couple references have some sort of error marked in red in the references section. Good to get those cleaned up even though it's not mandatory for GA status.
  • Wording in "public order" section. I fixed it.
  • Check for repeated references. Not a GA issue but still good to nail down. Name any that are repeated and use the name for any further instances.

Alright, going through the criteria: # Well-written: Good wording overall, especially for a controversial topic.

  1. Well-written (round 2): See lead length above; layout formatted correctly; wording stands as I previously put it; fiction does not apply; nothing that deserves to be in a list.
  2. Verifiable: Number and positioning of references matches the controversial nature and statements very well; however, I suspect care was not taken to avoid close phrasing of the references in achieving a state of being well-referenced.
  3. Broad coverage: Very broad! Not excessively long, though. 30kB readable prose is a good, solid length.
  4. Neutral: good neutrality for this topic.
  5. Stable: Edit history looks normal.
  6. Images: decent number of images. Maybe include one near the bottom for aesthetic, but that's just a suggestion. Licensing all checks out.

This article officially passes this GA review. Good to have an article on this subject. Congratulations on the hard work! Icebob99 (talk) 17:09, 21 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I am re-opening this review for the reason below. I'll preemptively apologize for any mistakes I made while attempting to be bold. Icebob99 (talk) 01:52, 23 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Angelo6397: just to let you know the review was re-opened. Icebob99 (talk) 02:17, 23 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
A summary of what transpired after I re-opened the review: basically everything mentioned below, those are the only issues I found with a very thorough inspection. If the lead is expanded to three paragraphs and all the references checked for copyvios at the end of seven days from 22 December 2016 (so 29 December 2016) I will pass the article, as I found it satisfactory for the other criteria. Icebob99 (talk) 02:22, 23 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Icebob99, you should really be pointing out the copyvio issues yourself (examples of the problems); if you don't feel up to it, I can ask Nikkimaria, who is one of the most experienced Wikipedians I know in the area of close paraphrasing and copyvios. BlueMoonset (talk) 04:00, 23 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@BlueMoonset: alright, I will go through the article and find all the instances. Icebob99 (talk) 16:09, 23 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Request that review be reopened

[edit]

Icebob99, I notice that you are new at GA reviewing, and have passed several articles in a short period of time. I took a quick look at this article, and immediately noticed a flagrant violation of the specific Good Article criteria under "Well-written". This is not merely about good wording, but far more than that: it complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation. MOS:LEAD is quite clear that the lead must summarize all the sections of the article, and furthermore, for an article of over 30,000 prose characters (which this one is), should run three to four paragraphs. This article has a single paragraph, and not a very long one either.

I hope that you will reverse your passage and reconduct your review in light of the specific requirements given for GAs. Have you actually checked some of the referenced passages against their original sources? Have you checked for possible copyvio or close paraphrasing? I can't tell, but given the speed of your reviews and what you've clearly missed in terms of the manual of style-related requirements, I think you can understand why I'm concerned. Thank you for your reconsideration of this review. It is perfectly normal to find issues that need to fixed by the nominator, put the article on hold until they are addressed, and eventually pass (or fail) the nomination after one (or many) rounds of adjustments are made to the article. BlueMoonset (talk) 23:03, 21 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @BlueMoonset:, of course I will do this. I must have missed that the length of the lead matches the length of the article in MoS:LEAD. I did check references and a few spot-checks for copyvios. Give me a day to get on this. Thanks for pointing it out. Icebob99 (talk) 23:55, 21 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Icebob99, I just ran the copyvio detector against the article, and although it says "violation unlikely" for the sources, when you look more closely, there is a sentence copied from one source, another copied from another source except for a couple of words here or there, and so on. After finding three in fairly quick succession, I imagine there are more out there, and it needs to be addressed. (In the past, I've found copied sentences in sources with as low as 9% confidence according to the detector.)
Since you are going to revisit this review, I'm happy to unwind the promotion and restore the review as active. Since the lead will have to be greatly expanded and the copyvios addressed, it makes sense to have this be an active review while all that is going on. BlueMoonset (talk) 04:10, 22 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Closing the Review

[edit]

Hi, 8 days have passed since my re-review of this article, and since the issues listed above have not been fixed, I will have to fail this article. Thank you, everyone involved, for your patience in my review. Icebob99 (talk) 00:22, 31 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Terrible grammar at the lead and POV issues

[edit]

The lead is written in a POV fashion and the grammar is terrible. I haven't checked the rest of the article but I will try to do so in the next few days. Meanwhile I have added a few tags. Dr. K. 07:09, 23 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
