• Hi Generalissima, I am enjoying reading this series of architect articles. Review follows: article created 21 August, is well written and exceeds minimum length; sources are cited inline throughout and look to be reliable for the subject matter; I didn't pick up any issues with overly close paraphrasing from the online sources (Earwig score is moderately high but is skewed by proper names of buildings); hook fact is interesting enough, mentioned in the article and checks out to source cited; a QPQ has been carried out. Looks fine to me - Dumelow (talk) 22:09, 24 August 2024 (UTC)

Fair representation without bias: It is stable. No edit wars, etc.: It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate. a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Overall: Pass/Fail:

Initial comments

• There is unlikely any copyright violation in the article. Earwig's Copyvio Detector has reported only 21.3% in similarity.
• There are no cleanup banners, such as those listed at WP:QF, in the article.
• The article is stable.
• No previous GA reviews.

General comments

• Prose, spelling, and grammar checking.
  • "emigrated to" → "immigrated to"
  • "office building" → "an office building"
  • Done. - G
  • I recommend cutting down on the number of "he"'s in the article, and instead replacing it with his surname.
  • Done. - G
• Checking whether the article complies with MOS.
  • Optional: I recommend placing both images inside the {{Multiple image}} template.
  • The article is relatively short, so it's alright to leave the text inside one section.
  • The article complies with the MOS:LEDE, MOS:LAYOUT, and MOS:WTW guidelines. There is no fiction and embedded lists within the article, so I am skipping MOS:WAF and MOS:EMBED. Overall, the lede's length is okay, and it summarises the article, the article has appropriate sections, and there are no biased words in the article.
• Checking refs, verifiability, and whether there is original research.
  • References section with a {{reflist}} template is present in the article.
  • No referencing issues.
  • All references are reliable.
    • Wikilink Jeffrey Karl Ochsner as author.
      • Done. -G
    • Ref 5 is missing pages.
      • Fixed. -G
  • Spotchecked Ref 1, 2, 4–all verify the cited content. AGF on Ochsner.
  • Copyvio already checked.
• Checking whether the article is broad in its coverage.
  • When did he enroll? If unknown, rephrase the sentence → "He studied military engineering at the Saint Petersburg Imperial University".
    • Fixed. - G
  • Do we know anything about his post-1957 work at Harry Powell & Associates?
    • Sadly not. -G
  • The rest of the article addresses the main aspects, and it stays focused on the topic.
• Checking whether the article is presented from an NPOV standpoint.
  • The article meets the criteria and is written in encyclopedic language.
• Checking whether the article is stable.
  • As noted in the initial comments, the article has been stable.
• Checking images.
  • Optional: Add a non-free image of Palmaw in the infobox.
    • Done. -G
  • Images are properly licensed.
  • Saint Spiridon Orthodox Cathedral caption → "Palmaw designed the Saint Spiridon Orthodox Cathedral in Seattle".
    • Fixed. - G
