Quick review thoughts

[edit]

Nice work. On a glance, it is not compliant with MOS:QUOTE or, possibly, MOS:LISTBULLET. I suggest you have a look at these before thinking about GAN. Or submit it to GOCER and pay attention to what gets changed. Gog the Mild (talk) 20:26, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I ran through and did a bunch of consolidation, collapsing blockquotes and the full lists from NRO. It was very much still first draft/expansion. I'll keep streamlining and check out GOCER. -- Very Polite Person (talk) 22:14, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"Sentient Enterprise"

[edit]

Given the NRO in 2010 formally called it "Sentient Enterprise", we have some more sources. I have another potential set here (not all will be relevant, was just a quick assemblage there).

Still looking for more. -- Very Polite Person (talk) 22:42, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Does anyone know what this may be in terms of material? Found here, and references "Page n346 U.S. Department of Defense, National Reconnaissance Office. Sentient Program. REL to USA, FVEY. DECL ON 25X1, 20670112. INCG 1.0, February 13, 2012." -- Very Polite Person (talk) 23:42, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Article rating and GAN

[edit]

I originally saw this article through the talk page of WikiProject Espionage, and I noticed that this article had been changed to B-class and is now a GAN. First off, thank you @Very Polite Person; this is all great work you've done.

Though, I'm not sure about B-class or GAN. The article could certainly use more citations, as it uses the many of same citations multiple times, keeping the citation count relatively low, but the article is quite wordy, and I'm definitely going to go in to fix a lot of the things I think could be better. Normally, I would just change the rating, but since the rating was added so newly, I wanted to bring it up on the talk page first, especially since @Hawkeye7, who rated it, has so much experience.

I think that C-class is a better fit for this article, but I'd like to hear your thoughts, or have a discussion beforehand. Thanks,NeuropolTalk 12:49, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks! I can't admit to expertise on the ratings thing. At a glance... halfway between C and B today? C.8/10? What are you thinking needs changing? -- Very Polite Person (talk) 13:18, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Assessment is based on project-wide B-class criteria. See Wikipedia:Content assessment/B-Class criteria for details. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 19:45, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Article sourcing

[edit]

This article has a lot of good information, but the sourcing is far too heavily reliant on primary sourcing (budget justifications, documents from the National Reconnaisance Office, and so on). I realize it's going to be hard to find a lot of secondary info when the program is mostly classified, but as it stands we're essentially aggregating a bunch of quotes here, which isn't really what WP is for. I put up the primary sources template because I think we might need to winnow our quotes to rely mostly on the few secondary sources that are given.

@Very Polite Person: You nominated this article for GAN a week before this complaint was lodged. You've had some time to address it, but nothing has been done. I will quick fail this article if I don't hear from you soon. Viriditas (talk) 22:37, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Also, I am a bit concerned by your comments up above. The day before you nominated this article at GAN, you described it as a "first draft". I don't think that qualifies for GA. Viriditas (talk) 22:54, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I was sidetracked by 'real life' and other projects. I'll swing back to this later. Thanks for your time and sorry. -- Very Polite Person (talk) 18:25, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ping me again when you nominate it and I will try again. Viriditas (talk) 20:25, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

  1. Is it well written?
    A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:
    B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:
  2. Is it verifiable with no original research, as shown by a source spot-check?
    A. It contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline:
    B. 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):
    C. It contains no original research:
    Concerns with primary sources originally raised on the talk page on 23 June 2024, a week after the article was nominated to GAN.
    D. It contains no copyright violations nor plagiarism:
  3. Is it broad in its coverage?
    A. It addresses the main aspects of the topic:
    B. It stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style):
  4. Is it neutral?
    It represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each:
  5. Is it stable?
    It does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute:
  6. Is it illustrated, if possible, by images?
    A. Images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content:
    B. Images are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions:
  7. Overall:
    Pass or Fail:
    Concerns were raised by other editors on the talk page one day before this article was nominated at GAN. Just before that time, nominator admitted that this is a first draft, which makes it clear that it wasn't ready for GAN at the time of nominiation. After that time, other users lodged complaints about the use of primary sources. That was over a month ago with no sign of the nominator, who disappeared on 23 June. I am quick failing this article for those reasons. Viriditas (talk) 01:21, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
