| Humour: | 9.5 | You know, I really enjoyed this article. Usually the ones with decent accuracy fail to be humorous, but you pulled it off brilliantly. Your humor was very subtle, yet quite sarcastic when delved into: this approach to hilarity is most always successful when pulled off correctly. I honestly cannot think of any significant changes to the work, but a cigar joke is always fun :p.
Some jokes I would like to commend are the "green ways of potentially destroying the Earth," the "addiction to the U.S.S.R.," and the "poltergeist haunting Fidel Castro's digestive system" (while a slight deviation from the more sophisticated humor, still a very skillful brightening of tone). |
| Concept: | 10 | American history fascinates me, and this is quite an important event in the recent timeline. Due to its significance in modern American history, I think it is very worthy of a detailed and masterful article on Uncyclopedia. |
| Prose and formatting: | 8.5 | You are far above the average Uncyclopedia contributer in grammatical skill. That being said, I noticed a few run-on sentences. One example that sticks out is "In April 1961..." The structuring of that sentence is a tad awkward, but perhaps I am being overly nit-picky. To have near-perfect grammar as the worst aspect of your article speaks a lot for how well you handled it. |
| Images: | 9.8 | I personally prefer the humor in pictures coming from their captions, so you are very well off in my book. I loved how the captions not only made the pictures funny, but I also appreciated their relevance. So often I will see crudely photo-shopped pictures plaguing articles with irrelevance and slop. Also, you had a perfect amount in your article. You did not use so many that you ended up relying on them, but you inserted enough to enhance it effectively. |
| Miscellaneous: | 9.5 | Often times I remind people not to become too hung up on numbers, but I have to contradict myself in this scenario. Your numbers go to show how well you did with this article, so give yourself a pat on the back, champ. |
| Final Score: | 47.3 | I apologize for being brief, but usually my reviews only become longer as I find more faults. You really impressed me, and I will nominate this article for feature. I honestly have a great reference now for my articles: now I know where to look for an example of effective humor. Thanks! |
