Wikipedia:Peer review/Sausage Race/archive1
This is a self-nomination. I'm relatively new here and was hoping for some pointers and suggestions from the community. This article is fairly complete and I want it to fit in. - User:Trweiss 09:44, 11 Feb 2005
- haha! It made me laugh :-) that said, I think perhaps, er, "Sausagegate" could do with some NPOVing (see Wikipedia:Neutral point of view. For instance, calling someone classy is kind of boosting them (which on any other site would be OK, but we don't hold those positions here). I personally think that bullet points where not really needed are evil, but that's just me :-) Can we get a source for "It's hard to say what accounts for the popularity of the sausage race. Undoubtedly, four adults dressed in oversized foamrubber sausage suits "competing" in a race is so absurd, so outrageously exaggerated, that it's hard not to smile. But that hardly explains the cult following. Perhaps Brewers' fans need something to cheer for other than the long-suffering home team." I know that sounds odd, but we don't allow for original research. Perhaps we could find a commentator who says that? Or perhaps it should be toned down a bit. Lastly (and I've done this for you), external links and references should be split into different sections. External links is really like further reading or interesting related links. References is for sources you've looked at to gather info on the article. For more info, see Wikipedia:Cite sources. One last thing: you say that "The Associated Press quotes Laurel Prieb, Brewers vice president, as saying the sausages were introduced "as a lark" around 1995. At first, the sausages were just another dumb animated scoreboard race. Bringing them to life was key to their current popularity." Which article? We need a reference to it to add to the references section. - Ta bu shi da yu 03:11, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)
