[edit] GA Re-Review and In-line citations

Members of the Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles are in the process of doing a re-review of current Good Article listings to ensure compliance with the standards of the Good Article Criteria. (Discussion of the changes and re-review can be found here). A significant change to the GA criteria is the mandatory use of some sort of in-line citation (In accordance to WP:CITE) to be used in order for an article to pass the verification and reference criteria. Currently this article does not include in-line citations. It is recommended that the article's editors take a look at the inclusion of in-line citations as well as how the article stacks up against the rest of the Good Article criteria. GA reviewers will give you at least a week's time from the date of this notice to work on the in-line citations before doing a full re-review and deciding if the article still merits being considered a Good Article or would need to be de-listed. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us on the Good Article project talk page or you may contact me personally. On behalf of the Good Articles Project, I want to thank you for all the time and effort that you have put into working on this article and improving the overall quality of the Wikipedia project.

== Sound: A sound is a long, narrow strip of water joining two larger bodies of water, or between mainland and an island. It can also be be an irregular type of inlet, or an 'arm' of a sea. (ex: Puget Sound, Long Island Sound)

Why is that on the start of this page, when we are dealing with sound as a wave of energy? It wasn't there before!

[edit] Examples of Sound Pressure Levels

I think we need some references for the examples of Sound Pressure Levels. There must be some good sources with measured SPL's that we could use. For example, someone has just changed the threshold of pain to 120 dB. What is the source of this data? The same question applies to all numbers in the list. pheon 23:06, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tidy Up

I removed some very old comments from this page that no longer seemed relevant. pheon 02:26, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Page Structure

It has been suggested that this article be split into articles entitled Sound, Sound pressure and Sound pressure level, accessible from a disambiguation page. I disagree. My preference would be for just one larger article called Sound with sections on sound pressure and sound pressure level. Pages already exist on those topics but there is much overlap with the sound page. We should maintain the links but redirect them to the relevant section in sound. A single, well constructed Sound article would pull together all these concepts on one coherent place.pheon 17:12, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Good Article review

The Good Article review concerning this article has been archived, and in a 6 to 0 vote, this article has been delisted, primarily for compleate lack of internal citations, and weak referencing overall, along with concerns about the length of the introducton and compleatness. Plus, the article had been warned much earlier about this problem, yet it seems nothing was done. Review archived here: Wikipedia:Good articles/Disputes/Archive 11.

[edit] scribd

I removed the scribd link by User:Hallenrm. It is an interesting article, with much content that would be useful here; but it does contain some mis-conceptions so I felt it would be better not to mislead. pheon 00:11, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Graffiti

Some one or ones is repeatedly defacing this article. See this history comparison. Correcting those.
