Not hard to guess which part of this article was written by RealSusanRook (T-C-L), who also provided the ridiculous portrait.

1. Yes: World champion and Olympic medallist.
2. Yes: A lot of non-independent sources are used, but they seem to be used appropriately.
3. Yes: More detailed than Olympedia.
A rare Wikipedia W. I don’t get why this is only assessed as Start-class. Does it need to be longer?
(later) I seem to have uninstalled Rater, but offhand I think it is B-class. I hesitate to make the call officially though, in case there is some special requirement for Olympians or rowers that it isn't meeting. Bottom line, though, you can do this yourself, manually if you don't want to install the gadget

Well here's the criteria for B class:Háčky wrote: ↑Wed Apr 24, 2024 7:28 pm

B1. It is suitably referenced, and all major points have appropriate inline citations.
B2. It reasonably covers the topic, and does not contain obvious omissions or inaccuracies.
B3. It has a defined structure, including a lead section and one or more sections of content.
B4. It is free from major grammatical errors.
B5. It contains appropriate supporting materials, such as an infobox, images, or diagrams.
I suppose a picture would be nice, but it does have an infobox. "Reasonably covers the topic" was the one that made me hesitate. I don't know if there is some list of things articles about Olympians should cover, but off hand I dpn't see any issues.
If you think the referencing isn't good enough call it C class. You're still right that it's way better than most Starts

Re: Answer these three questions about a random Wikipedia article and win a car
The way I understand it (after looking at Senate of Saint Lucia (T-H-L) and this news article) she was again appointed to the senate. Turns out senators are "appointed by the Governor-General, of which 6 are appointed on the Prime Minister's advice, 3 on the advice of the leader of the opposition, and 2 independent members which the Governor-General appoints using his or her own judgment." So as far as I can tell she didn't automatically hold on to the seat, but was reappointed for a new term.Elinruby wrote: ↑Thu Apr 25, 2024 10:29 pmAngelina Phera Polius (T-H-L)

This suggests that they won those championships which I guess is technically correct in the sense that (as far as I can tell) they produce all the cars for those competitions.Championships

Stanislaw Tillich (T-H-L)
1. Yes.
2. Could use more references.
3. I doubt that there is much that is independent and in English.
Unfortunately I can't take an article seriously when it says that the President of the German Bundesrat (T-H-L) is the deputy of the President of Germany (T-H-L). Which unfortunately also applies to the latter two articles, too.
The Bundespräsident has no deputy.

That does not make them the deputy. That makes them the emergency placeholder.Grundgesetz wrote:Article 57
If the Federal President is unable to perform his duties, or if his office falls prematurely vacant, the President of the Bundesrat shall exercise his powers.

Gojko Cimirot (T-H-L)
1. Yes
2. Yes
3. No
Everything in this article (except the pronunciation) can be found in databases like Soccerway. The fact that it’s all been carefully written out in prose and cited to Bosnian media is good for earning brownie points on Wikipedia but I doubt anyone wants to read it. At least now I know that “Al-Fayha” is Arabic for “Later stage of career”.

Re: Answer these three questions about a random Wikipedia article and win a car
F4 is for junior drivers and has no global championship. So it is not exactly top tier. I don't know whether F4 cars are really notable. I'm guessing that this one could be sufficiently dealt with in the Mygale (T-H-L) article.Elinruby wrote: ↑Thu Apr 25, 2024 11:53 pmOk, so notable?

Ron Hester (T-H-L)
1. (American) Football player. The article mentions only that he was selected in the NFL draft, not that he actually played. But apparently he did play nine games. I think that means that Wikipedia (if no-one else) considers him notable.
2. No.

The cited source is an entry in an old encyclopaedia that is vastly better. The Swedish Wikipedia article is basically a rewrite of that. The Danish is that plus the weird stuff about Clara Wieck (so? he didn't marry her), which I don't see in that source.

I thought that was weird also. In fact, I think I will take it out. If anyone ever gets serious about this bio maybe they can source it.

No. A pitiful excuse for an article, consisting of four meagre unsourced sentences.
2. Is it immediately obvious you can trust this article?
No. One of the refs is dead, there's no inline references, one of the other refs is a promo piece, and there are weasel words.
3. Is the article better than a trusted Wikipedia alternative might offer?
No. A quick search reveals this Computerworld article that is more in-depth.

Christopher Preston, 2nd Baron Gormanston (T-H-L)
medieval Ireland
1. The charge of treason and the 30-year feud mentioned may make this man notable
2. Two of the three references have "Peerage" in the title.
3. Haven't looked at Irish history much. Don't know. It's pretty early.

Nzambi Matee (T-H-L)
1. No, it fails BLP1E. The article is about Matee’s company, but Women in Red doesn’t write articles about companies, so they had to pretend it’s about the person. So in that sense, I guess it is obvious.
2. No, the sources are all puff pieces.
3. No, some of the puff pieces give key details that Wikipedia omits, like what kinds of plastic are used.
