GA Review[edit]

Hello, I am planning on reviewing this article for GA Status, over the next couple of days. Thank you for nominating the article for GA status. I hope I will learn some new information, and that my feedback is helpful.

If nominators or editors could refrain from updating the particular section that I am updating until it is complete, I would appreciate it to remove a edit conflict. Please address concerns in the section that has been completed above (If I've raised concerns up to references, feel free to comment on things like the lede.)

I generally provide an overview of things I read through the article on a first glance. Then do a thorough sweep of the article after the feedback is addressed. After this, I will present the pass/failure. I may use strikethrough tags when concerns are met. Even if something is obvious why my concern is met, please leave a message as courtesy.

Best of luck! you can also use the {{done}} tag to state when something is addressed. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)}

Please let me know after the review is done, if you were happy with the review! Obviously this is regarding the article's quality, however, I want to be happy and civil to all, so let me know if I have done a good job, regardless of the article's outcome.

Immediate Failures[edit]

It is a long way from meeting any one of the six good article criteria -
It contains copyright infringements -
It has, or needs, cleanup banners that are unquestionably still valid. These include{{cleanup}}, {{POV}}, {{unreferenced}} or large numbers of {{citation needed}}, {{clarify}}, or similar tags. (See also {{QF-tags}}). -
It is not stable due to edit warring on the page. -

Links[edit]

Prose[edit]

Lede[edit]

British racing driver - not a fan of this type of linking in the lede sentence. When someone looks up who this is, you need to describe what they do. The text is grand, but the link target should be some sort of motor racing as a better target Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 21:32, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
First para could be expanded a little. I think the opening sentence stating he's a racing driver who spent 17 years in F1 would make sense, and then later that he won the 2009 championship. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 21:32, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
co-champion of the Super GT Series in 2018, sharing a Honda car with Naoki Yamamoto at Team Kunimitsu. - am I to assume he shared the championship with Naoki, as this doesn't say that. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 21:32, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
BRawn GP is a duplink. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 21:32, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
From the 306 races that Button started he won 15, and took 50 podium finishes. - I feel we could have a better overview of his career Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 21:32, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

General[edit]

Maybe worth saying Vobster is in Mells. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 21:53, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
so-called Colorado Beetle - what does this mean? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 21:53, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Erling Jensen not a redlink material? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 21:53, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Button enjoyed racing from an early age, racing a BMX bike with friends after school,[7] and began watching Formula One (F1) motor racing with his father around the age of five or six. He idolised four-time world champion Alain Prost for his calm personality and intellectual approach to driving - more of an early life thing. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 21:53, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I feel like the sections should be subsections under Formula 1 (ie that Williams (2000) should be a level 3 header). Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 21:53, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Agree with this. HumanBodyPiloter5 (talk) 23:14, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

playboy pipes to a redirect. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 21:53, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Driver number doesn't really need its own section. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 21:53, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
bodybording is one word. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 21:53, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Probably not a thing for here, but the bold links in the tables break WP:BOLDAVOID Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 21:53, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Review meta comments[edit]

I'll begin the review as soon as I can! If you fancy returning the favour, I have a list of nominations for review at WP:GAN and WP:FAC, respectively. I'd be very grateful if you were to complete one of these if you get time. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)}
- MWright96 I'm happy to promote this article, there is very little wrong. I would suggest making some/all of the above changes though. Sorry about the wait. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 21:54, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
