Length

I'm hesitant about reviewing an article that consists of two sentences, considering most articles are required to have three paragraphs; I'm not sure the gallery is sufficient padding. There's also only one source. Microchip08 (talk) 03:44, 6 April 2014 (UTC)

I've added another paragraph to pad this out a bit. The one source thing shouldn't be a problem since this is Original Reporting. --RockerballAustralia c 06:15, 6 April 2014 (UTC)

I don't see length problems. I have issues with images lacking captions, so it's pretty hard to understand the timing and ingredients of the event. (The latter may be an issue with only me, as I lack basic sport events background many readers could already have.) Gryllida 08:24, 6 April 2014 (UTC)

I'm glad the second paragraph is there. Still, the text is clearly below minimal; I've tentatively marked this as a photo essay.

At first view, I'm not happy with the sourcing either; we generally try to have corroborating material. Amongst its other functions, it helps gauge newsworthiness. I'm still considering, as I move forward with the review. --Pi zero (talk) 12:11, 6 April 2014 (UTC)

I note this page (the reporter might have turned this up): Devotchkas | Facebook --Pi zero (talk) 12:21, 6 April 2014 (UTC)

How did I miss this I wonder? --RockerballAustralia c 12:32, 6 April 2014 (UTC)

Review of revision 2527977 [Passed]

Revision 2527977 of this article has been reviewed by Pi zero (talk · contribs) and has passed its review at 13:12, 6 April 2014 (UTC). Copyright: Passed Newsworthiness: Passed Verifiability: Passed NPOV: Passed Style: Passed Comments by reviewer: See my remarks above. As best I can tell, "Crash Test Honiez" has no web presence, but "Crash Test Hunniez" — the spelling on the Devotchkas' fb page — turns up some clearly relevant matches. So I'm going with the latter spelling. I like that this gives (appropriately for a photo essay) a feeling for the event. (Crowd in the "suicide seating", indeed. :-) Atm I'm not thinking of a way to make the headline more specific without also making it substantially more verbose and less punchy; so, if another event should come along also fitting this headline, we'll let the later article figure out what to do about it. :-) The reviewed revision should automatically have been edited by removing {{Review}} and adding {{Publish}} at the bottom, and the edit sighted; if this did not happen, it may be done manually by a reviewer.
