Copyedit

This is just to say that I've tried to fill a request for a copyedit filed on the WP:GOCE/REQ page. Also, a couple of observations/suggestions:

The "Ride layout" section is a bit confusing -- probably because it's not easy to describe the experience of a roller coaster in words. The two pictures in that section help considerably, but someone more familiar with the ride may be able to clarify the words a bit more. That section is rather heavy with roller coaster jargon.
In the "Characterstics" section, it says that one version of the ride takes 3 minutes instead of 2 -- but it's only a few feet longer. How is that possible?
Should this article be in American or British English? I mean, the design company is European, but the rides themselves are in the United States.

Best of luck on an eventual GAN. Bobnorwal (talk) 01:53, 19 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the review. I've clarified the ride's duration with different sources so now it is more realistic. Also, the article should feature American spelling so I fixed one instance (if there are more that I've missed, please feel free to make those corrections). Finally, I will endeavour to make the ride layout section less confusing for those not familiar with the jargon. Themeparkgc Talk 22:47, 20 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

~~"The ride at Six Flags Great America ultimately opened on May 3, 2003" - Is the word "ultimately" really needed?--Dom497 (talk) 23:46, 19 May 2013 (UTC)~~[reply]

"The 2003 versions differ slightly from the original in Georgia; however, the majority of the layout remains the same." - Should this really be in the 'History' section? Sounds more suitable for the 'Characteristic' section as it already is so maybe just remove this statement?.-Dom497 (talk) 23:46, 19 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Done I don't think it won any awards as such but I have added some rankings from the Golden Ticket Awards and Best Roller Coaster Poll. Themeparkgc Talk 06:44, 20 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Just a small pet peeve of mine...in the ref section, some have it dd-mm-yyyy while others have mm-dd-yyyy. Maybe pick one format to make them consistent?--Dom497 (talk) 17:16, 20 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

~~Does there really have to be external links to RCDB when they are already refs?--Dom497 (talk) 17:16, 20 May 2013 (UTC)~~[reply]

I think the duplication of the links certainly serves a purpose here. I think it helps supplement having just three official websites there and provides a bit more balance. Themeparkgc Talk 04:31, 21 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough.--Dom497 (talk) 19:17, 21 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This is more of a question from me to you as it was brought up in the SheiKra FA review: Should the Amusement Today refs use the cite journal template rather than the cite web?--Dom497 (talk) 17:16, 20 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Since Amusement Today is a periodical, then it should use cite journal, shouldn't it? The article currently uses this template. Themeparkgc Talk 04:31, 21 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Makes sense. Wasn't really part of this review, just a question I had for you. :P --Dom497 (talk) 19:17, 21 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This should be it. Good job!.--Dom497 (talk) 17:16, 20 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
