Close connection
[edit]Well, as me the creator does even now Kaler in person (and only know him from a reference in the Theta 1 Orionis page since a few days ago) the commection is not really close. No conflict of interest exists, and frankly, I do not think that POV issues are prevalent. jan JanBarkmann (talk) 15:20, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
References tag
[edit]I fixed most missing refernces in the Awards, Achievements etc, section. For Kaler's personal data, I could not find an independant source, though. JanBarkmann (talk) 16:27, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
Quality Scale
[edit]I consulted the Biography Protal page on quality ratings and gave it a preliminary START-class rating. Actually, the article is a bit further advanced than a standart Start-class. So I shall go into a more detailed investigation of its state.
C-class definition is (comments indented):
- The article is substantial, but is still missing important content or contains a lot of irrelevant material.
- There is actually only little irrelevant material but some content is missing. E.g. the publication years of his books.
- The article should have some references to reliable sources, but may still have significant issues or require substantial cleanup.
- For may data, reliable sources could be provided. However, some details and, above all, for his personal data only his own webpage could be consulted.
- The article is better developed in style, structure and quality than Start-Class, but fails one or more of the criteria for B-Class.
- Style, structure and quality are above start but below B-class.
- It may have some gaps or missing elements; need editing for clarity, balance or flow;
- Yes, but only of minor importance if we aim, overall, at a shorter article.
- or contain policy violations such as bias or original research.
- none of these.
So, I conclude that a C-class rating can be fully justifed.
All the best, jan --JanBarkmann (talk) 11:23, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
