    Pass/Fail:

Hey again, taking up the review 🙂 I'll write some more comments tomorrow. If you want to get started, I'm noticing a few small mistakes here and there that you should be able to spot. Here's some stuff to get you started: noticing at least one typo, incorrect link target,

Some more small things, will write more detailed comments in a few hours. I'm noticing the title of the article is italicized; is it because it is an art piece? If so, the name of the structure should be italicized throughout the body as well.
Also, the incorrect link target I spotted was
WP:VIZ
. You have a few links that are redirects that don't really need to be redirects. This script will color-code those redirects so you can easily spot them.
And there's still some inconsistent date abbreviations vs full spelling. I'm of the opinion that you should just spell out all the months; things like abbreviations and contractions tend to be discouraged on Wikipedia unless it's like acronyms or in like a table or something.

I'm not sure if we should italicize... The only other similar structure I know about is the Vessel (structure) in NYC, and they italicize it on there, although it's not a GA/FA and precedence isn't everything.
On the other hand,
MOS:NEITHER
says Names of buildings and other structures: the Taj Mahal, the Statue of Liberty [should not be italicized].
Everything man-made can be considered art, but I'd say the Statue of Liberty, Pohang Space Walk, and the Vessel are closer to art than functional buildings... My sense is that we shouldn't italicize, per

Also, you refer to Pohang Space Walk as a "sculpture" in the article in a number of places. Sculptures are unambiguously art. Does that wording come from sources? If we're going to unitalicize, we need to be precise about how we choose to describe this structure. Can you go through and do a survey on what words reliable English-language/Korean-language publications use to describe this structure?
talk) 04:45, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply

I've looked at the sources and I've noticed that the Korean articles overwhelmingly use "조형물" (sculpture). In that case, do I still keep the infobox artwork?
talk) 22:05, 7 February 2024 (UTC)[reply

I think so. You should also make the terminology consistent in the article body.
Also, in either the first sentence or in a new second sentence, you can consider making clear that sources describe it as a sculpture, and maybe put two references next to it. I.e. first sentence "x is a walkable sculpture" or second sentence "x is often described as a sculpture by South Korean media."

Some more things to address:
  • Italicization needs to be made consistent throughout the body.
  • The lead is currently too long; see
    WP:LEAD
    . The body of the article is not that long, and the lead is currently about equal length. Given the size of the body, the lead should be around two paragraphs. You currently have too much detail in the lead.
  • There's some prose stuff I'd like to address throughout the rest of the body; will take a copyedit round later when I'm satisfied with upcoming changes.

I think you should italicize based on your findings. No rush; I'll be around. Good luck with homework!

 Done for the italicization. (sidenote: I always seem to pick the worst times when nomming articles for recognition (i.e. when I am busy) .... last time I GAN'ed T Express I remember it was right before the first day of school!)

Scope and content seem ok on a quick glance, but I need to do a harder scan. I'll give quick updates for now and more feedback later. In your references, try linking the names of websites that have corresponding English articles, namely Yonhap News. The ones without articles you can leave as is.
The lead is still a little long. It's nearly a third of the article; should probably be around 1/4th at most. Some details you can trim, esp from the third paragraph.

The history section seems to lack information about when construction began, and jumps right to when they did their first inspection. Hopefully it's possible to find that info; it's a bit of a jump to go from "they brainstormed, and now they're doing the final touches"

Also there's a typo in Impact; try to spot. I've noticed and fixed several typos so far in this and the prev GA nom that I think you should been able to spot. I advise to give a few more nitpicky readthroughs yourself before nominating.

 Done all - fixed the history section and hopefully got the dashes right and fixed the typo.

The jump in the history section is still there I think; it goes from planning/brainstorming straight to final inspections. Is there no information about the construction process?
talk) 23:05, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply

I've added some information about the construction processes - hope that does it service. Meanwhile, I've also found some stuff about a new "Space Walk" being constructed in Gwangyang as well - maybe I can also add a little section on that too.

I gave the stuff you added a bit of a scrub. Please do add that info in; once you do I think I'd be relatively satisfied with the detail level in the article. I'd then begin copyediting in earnest, then hopefully we can get this wrapped up.

Yeah, had a huge exam just today and a huge project due last week - thank goodness I have more wikitime now to actually research for content and we can probably get finished with this.

One note; some names are currently incorrectly populated in the references. For example, |last=경국 |first=장: 장 is the last name. It's like this for several references; please give them all a scrub.

Ok did some more copyedits, but I need to do another sweepthrough after you address these requests. I've left a few clarification requests.
Some notes on those:

I've fixed the Gubongsan to match naming convention requirements. This particular Gubongsan which is in Gwangyang does not have an article on kowiki or enwiki, unfortunately.

Overall, well done 🙂 Interesting topic, cool that you got permission to use pictures, and easy review process. Happy to review anything else you produce in future. Good luck with school!
