GA Reassessment

Article (edit | visual edit | history) · Article talk (edit | history) · Watch
This article seems to have been promoted in a less strict era. At the moment it doesn't seem to fulfil the GA criteria; here are some of the problems:

MOS: the lead section is almost non-existent. Also, there's use of external links in the text, rather than in footnotes.
Lack of in-line citations, especially in the biography section. Some assertions, like "his farsighted leadership set the university on the path to becoming an elite educational institution", need references.
Focus: the "Contribution to the conflict thesis" is important, but it takes up disproportionally much space compared to the biography. This is after all a co-founder of Cornell University.

I will leave this notice here for a week, to see if anyone is willing to address the concerns. Lampman (talk) 14:53, 31 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I just realised that someone else recently put it up for reassessment, but failed to follow up. No-one seems to have taken action then, so it's unlikely that it will happen now, but I'll still give it a week. Lampman (talk) 15:01, 31 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Noting has been done to address the issues, so I'll go ahead and delist. Lampman (talk) 13:39, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
