Hello Ɱ, I will start the review shortly. I do that by reading through of the article first, and identifying any comments or questions by section of the article, and after that I use the GA table template to evaluate the GA criteria.
Would you mind if I went ahead and made any minor edits or link changes — that you could review to ensure agreement? Or, would you prefer me to list all of those? I am happy to go with whatever works the best for you.–CaroleHenson (talk) 17:50, 31 March 2020 (UTC)
- Hi, and great! I am at home for the foreseeable future, so will be here to address comments plenty. I can be kind-of a stickler about minor changes (the devil's in the details!) so would prefer listing unless something you're sure will be fine... Thanks, ɱ (talk) 18:02, 31 March 2020 (UTC)
- Okay, Ɱ, I will go ahead and list everything for right now and if you see a pattern of things I could take care of (links, punctuation, other types of minor edits), let me know.–CaroleHenson (talk) 18:42, 31 March 2020 (UTC)
General comment
[edit]The article is well-researched and well-written. I am glad you are a stickler - and believe that the devil's in the details - it means to me that you probably won't mind that I am that way, too, and that you will push back on suggestions that you don't find helpful.–CaroleHenson (talk) 18:52, 31 March 2020 (UTC)

1. Well-written: | ||
1a. the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct. | Yes, the article is well-written, clear and concise. There are some suggestions, but generally that's all they are.–CaroleHenson (talk) 04:40, 1 April 2020 (UTC) | |

2. Verifiable with no original research: | ||
2a. it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline. | See the comments section for one bare url.

See the comments section for that, too.–CaroleHenson (talk) 05:14, 1 April 2020 (UTC) — This is now Done–CaroleHenson (talk) 22:22, 2 April 2020 (UTC) | |
2b. 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). | See the comments section for use of what appears to be a personal site, but if you used the newspaper article on the cited page, that could be used for the citation.–CaroleHenson (talk) 05:14, 1 April 2020 (UTC) — This is now Done–CaroleHenson (talk) 22:22, 2 April 2020 (UTC) | |

Comments
[edit]- First of all, thanks for hanging in there with me. I hope it is not disheartening to get so many comments for a well-written, researched, and executed article. You did a great job. I just dig into the details and offer suggestions. My hope is that we both feel the article is better for the suggestions.–CaroleHenson (talk) 04:34, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
- Yeah, of course. Bear with me as I make the changes. See my note for the abandonment section as well. ɱ (talk) 04:55, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
- Ok, will do.–CaroleHenson (talk) 05:10, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
- Yeah, of course. Bear with me as I make the changes. See my note for the abandonment section as well. ɱ (talk) 04:55, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
- References
- The first source Cincinnati Union Terminal: The Design and Construction of an Art Deco Masterpiece is 176 pages. Do you have page numbers for the pages that were used?
- Done. ɱ (talk) 20:23, 2 April 2020 (UTC)
- Same with the fourth source Cincinnati Art Deco.
- For these and the below sources, I prefer to keep it more minimal. Just like a webpage, CTRL-F works to search the page, and especially Google Books, Hathitrust, Jstor, etc. have search tools to allow you to find what you're looking for faster than scanning over a whole page. ɱ (talk) 20:25, 2 April 2020 (UTC)
- Same with the fifth and any other sources for books (google books, archive.org books, etc.) or multiple-page sources (pdfs, journals, etc.) where there are no page numbers.
- See above. ɱ (talk) 20:25, 2 April 2020 (UTC)
- The 16th source seems to be a personal web site... but it may be that the content for "Waldvogel Memorial Viaduct". Is the information that you used from the bottom article " Waldvogel Viaduct overhaul proposed"? If so, the information for that article (title, date, publisher, etc.) of the news article could be used to create a citation.
- There's one bare url citation - currently number 27.
- I swapped in a newspapers.com clipping here.–CaroleHenson (talk) 05:10, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
- Content to sources - The copyvio detector is running really slow. I will come back to this tomorrow to run copyvio detector (or dup detector) for web sources and will spot check books for copy vio tomorrow.–CaroleHenson (talk) 05:40, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
- Copyvio detector finished... no issues. Will spot-check books tomorrow.–CaroleHenson (talk) 06:03, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
- Completed some spot-checking. No evidence of copyright violations.–CaroleHenson (talk) 18:37, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
- Copyvio detector finished... no issues. Will spot-check books tomorrow.–CaroleHenson (talk) 06:03, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
- If you would like, Ɱ, I would be happy to handle the minor things (any further linking, fix few cite errors, complete citation for bare url, minor punctuation), just let me know if you'd like me to do that. Perhaps look for page numbers for references. I am happy to help any way that I can.–CaroleHenson (talk) 18:37, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
- Sure, go ahead, and I'll take a look at your changes. I am juggling a few other projects and chores today... ɱ (talk) 18:40, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
- Here are the changes I made.–CaroleHenson (talk) 20:18, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

Ɱ, I realize that there were a lot of comments and I appreciate your additions to the into and tweaks to some of the sentences. I hope that it is clear that it's just because there was a lot of detail about complex sets of circumstances. You've done a very good job with this article and you are one of the best writers here at Wikipedia. I hope that you are finding that a fresh set of eyes with suggestions for minor tweaks can help make the article better.
Except for the one missing citation, the one site that appears to be a personal site (but has a newspaper article), and the shape of the rotunda issue, I don't see anything else remaining that should be fixed to pass the article. I think it should be really easy to state that "same as" means the original design.
I didn't find anything about specific page numbers being needed to pass a good article (although I still think it would be nice to add them where they are missing for publications).
Of course, feel free to make modifications based on my other comments, if you find them helpful.–CaroleHenson (talk) 18:13, 2 April 2020 (UTC)
- Alright, cool. Thanks for the complement. Allow me time to look through some books and finish up your requests, and then we should be good to go. ɱ (talk) 18:59, 2 April 2020 (UTC)
- Okay, I think every comment is addressed now? ɱ (talk) 21:06, 2 April 2020 (UTC)
- Excellent! I will take a look.–CaroleHenson (talk) 22:04, 2 April 2020 (UTC)
