Color Graphics Adapter

Review commentary

David Gerard, Trixter, Ropers notified

An article that was promoted to FA in 2004, it has failed to hold to the standards of modern FA. It has very little references, all which do not have footnotes attached to them, and there is a section which looks like OR, please review --w^L^{<speak·check>} 09:12, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wl, please notify relevant parties per the instructions at WP:FAR with {{subst:FARMessage|Color Graphics Adapter}} Thanks, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 23:41, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Is OR bad? Some of the article was researched by myself specifically for the article; for example, the proper color of color index 6 and its origins. Other parts of the article are simply common knowledge to anyone who has worked with the card. I don't mind the Featured Article review; if it doesn't meet the criteria then that's fine with me. My fear is that the article itself is in jeopardy, which is distressing because I personally spent at least 4 to 6 hours researching and altering it. --Trixter 19:17, 19 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

OR is bad, per WP:OR. Also, be careful about what you call common knowledge. Wikipedia is a general purpose encyclopedia; people who haven't worked with the card will also need to be able to know where the information came from. Jay32183 20:16, 19 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
