GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

This article is in decent shape, but it needs more work before it becomes a Good Article.

  1. Is it well written?
    A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:
    Well done.
    B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:
    In the lead, "The game took place on October 4, 1948 between the Cleveland Indians and Boston Red Sox" ---> "The game took place on October 4, 1948, between the Cleveland Indians and Boston Red Sox", commas after dates, if using MDY. [In the lead], please link "American League" once. In the Game summary section, please link "Eddie Robinson" to its correspondence article, as at the moment it stands out as a disambiguation. In the Aftermath section, second paragraph and the beginning of the sentence, do you mean "The Red Sox's"?
    Half-check.
    Check.
  2. Is it verifiable with no original research, as shown by a source spot-check?
    A. It contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline:
    B. Reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose):
    C. It contains no original research:
    D. It contains no copyright violations nor plagiarism:
  3. Is it broad in its coverage?
    A. It addresses the main aspects of the topic:
    B. It stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style):
  4. Is it neutral?
    It represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each:
  5. Is it stable?
    It does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute:
  6. Is it illustrated, if possible, by images?
    A. Images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content:
    B. Images are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions:
  7. Overall:
    Pass or Fail:
    Not that much to do. If the statements above can be answered, I will pass the article. Good luck with improving this article!

Fixes made. Easy changes to make at least, was worried I was slacking on a part or something. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 02:59, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
One more minor thing to do. No, everything read well, so you don't have to worry about that. :) --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 14:41, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
American League is linked at the end of the first paragraph; or do I need to link it elsewhere too? Wizardman Operation Big Bear 16:24, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
It's linked twice; in the beginning and end of the first paragraph of the lead. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 16:34, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
-facepalm- fixed now. I thought you meant it wasn't linked at all at first, lol. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 17:06, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, it's my fault for not explaining it better. I'm just glad it's dealt with. Anyways, thank you to Wizardman for getting the stuff I left at the talk page, because I have gone off and placed the article as GA. Congrats. ;) --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 17:13, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
