GA Review This review is transcluded from Talk basic principles of animationGA The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review   Articles are not usually reviewed so soon after they are posted at WPGAC but since I was reading the article anyway I decided to go ahead and review   Although a very good start for an article on a fascinating topic Im afraid it needs quite a bit of work in order to be promoted to GAclass  I am failing the nomination at this time based on the issues raised below  A major problem is that the article does not adhere to WPLEAD the introduction should be a summary of the entire article  As it stands now the article is almost completely composed of material that does not appear in the body of the article  The publishing history of the book that includes the  basic principles of animation the ideas genesis the major players all of this needs to be fully detailed and expanded in the article itself  How about a History or Background section to begin the article so these points can be discussed  Similarly although the lead alludes to the importance of the book and therefore the twelve principles and its lasting legacy there is no Reception or Legacy section  What have other animators said about the subject  What influence has it had  Is it still utilized today even with CGI and computer animation  These are hinted upon in the lead but entire sections need to be written in regards to these points  I typically find it easiest to write the article and then write the lead so as to be sure of not missing anything  In short every main section even a short summary of the  basic principles themselves of the article must be summarized in the lead  The quality of the sources pose a problem as well  Many of the references come from a wiki relating to the website Blender am I correct  Wikis although easily accessible are not typically considered reliable sources because they can be written by anyone  This wiki in particular does not seem to cite its own sources which is usually a red flag  Im not sure who William is but it is advisable that reliable thirdparty published sources be found to replace those from the wiki  Are the works listed under Further reading usable  Are there any scholarly journals or articles available  The Illusion of Life can potentially be used more as well  On a high note the articles prose is mostly well written and the images are correctly tagged  It is also obviously stable and neutral  There is a lot of promise for such an interesting topic but the issues described above are crucial for a good article  Im sure that all points can be resolved in time but unfortunately it will take more time than the typical seven day hold will facilitate  If you have any questions about this review please feel free to contact me on my talk page  Best of luck   con
