Observations

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

• In the Lede we read, He was the moving engineer behind the Chrysler Airflow automobile. When you use the term moving do you mean he was the inspiration, the motivator or the designer? Moving is a bit vague.
•  Done

• Chrysler asked the Breer, Zeder and Skelton → Chrysler asked Breer, Zeder and Skelton
•  Done

• and 28 other engineers from Studebaker (creme-de-la-creme). ← I am unsure of the purpose of creme-de-la-creme ?
•  Done

• Even though Chrysler help them gert started → get started
•  Done

• In 1923 when Breer was on vacation with the family (whose family?) → change to his family.
•  Done

• The 'Three Musketeers' (Zeder, Skelton, and Breer) → linking to the WP page for three musketeers is a bit pointless here. We read of automotive engineers...
•  Done

• Carl and Barbara have → had
•  Done

• Carl and Barbara have 4 children by 1940, → had
•  Done

1. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR): d (copyvio and plagiarism):

• Reference 25 is a dead link.

•  Done

• Reference 41 is a dead link.

•  Done

1. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

• Sufficiently broad considering that Breer was right in the middle of the unfolding automobile industry.
• Handing the different employers (Studebaker, Chrysler, etc.,) is well done considering the constantly changing and expanding automotive environment.

1. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

• NPOV is preserved in this article.

1. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

• Page created 8 December 2012
• Page has 278 edits by 47 editors
• 90 day page-views = 547 with an average of 6 views per day
• no edit warring is observed in page history.
• Page has been steadily improved.

1. It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

• Carl Breer 1900.jpg = copyright has expired, its first publication occurred prior to January 1, 1926
• Carl Breer 1911.jpg = public domain in the United States because it was published before January 1, 1926.
• 1901 Breer steam car.jpg = Creative Commons Attribution 2.0 Generic license.
• Tourist automobile 1910.jpg = published before January 1, 1926.

1. Overall:
