A Wikipedian removed Sumo from the good article list after consensus was reached to do so. There are suggestions below for improving areas to satisfy the good article criteria. Once the objections are addressed, renominate the article as a good article. If you disagree with the objections, you can seek a review. | ||||||||||||||||||

[edit] Sumo Rules
Does anybody have any more information about the rules used in a sumo match? Are there any more rules than the ones listed in the article? For example, is it a rule to touch the ground to start the bout, or is that more of a custom? More inside would be appreciated. Sneeka2 09:27, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] New external link
I think it could be a good idea to add a link to the non-commercial website www.sumo.it in italian. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.208.36.89 (talk) 21:07, 24 January 2007 (UTC).
- Umm...this is the English wikipedia. --Auximines 21:32, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Answers
I have answers to most of the Sumo wrestling questions you have! Just Go to edit this page and then post them below this and I will check this page frequently and answer your questions! Thank You, Heaphy
- No, people shouldn't do that. This is for discussing edits to the article, not a general discussion forum on the subject. If there's anything from Wikipedia's articles on Sumo you feel is lacking, you should edit them to correct that. TCC (talk) (contribs) 21:51, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Good Article Review recommending delisting
The article is quite informative, but fails a number of GA criteria, in my opinion. I'm recommending for delisting. Please visit the review page to support or oppose. Bradford44 19:25, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
The criteria for GA status are stabilized and higher than they once were. I promoted the article to A class from GA and was the one who suggested it for FA review which it failed for essentially the same reasons that GA requires. I have demoted the article to GA (recind my A promotion) but will wait for consensus before going further.Peter Rehse 04:39, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
Since there were several supporting and no dissenting opinions I've delisted Sumo as a Good article. Below is the comments regarding shortcommings with the numbers refering to Wikipedia:What is a good article?.Peter Rehse 08:19, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
- 1(a), because it is plagued by informal prose and one sentence paragraphs, especially throughout sumo#Professional Sumo (大相撲 Ōzumō).
- 1(b), for example, the article begins by explaining how to win a match, followed by how a match begins and how the ring is set up, followed by the history of the sport, then into how the sport is professionally organized. Also, some sections need to be divided into subsections. Also, several subsections are inappropriately titled.
- 1(c), the article greatly suffers from failure to adhere to WP:MOS-JP, as it uses many inconsistent methods to present, define, and translate foreign terms, and breaks various rules regarding usage of Japanese characters.
- 1(d) a number of technical terms should be better explained, and used less often.
- 2(b) this is a 41k article with only 8 inline citaions. Many large sections are entirely unreferenced - this alone should be sufficient for delisting.
