GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)
It is reasonably well written. a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists): The article is incredibly well written in all aspects, however I find the Biography section to almost be too long and stray away from the purpose of the article, perhaps a link to the main article for his bio would be useful. It is factually accurate and verifiable, as shown by a source spot-check. a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR): d (copyvio and plagiarism): It is well cited to reliable sources. However, it could benefit from some additional ones. It is broad in its coverage. a (major aspects): b (focused): It follows the neutral point of view policy. Fair representation without bias: The article stays on topics for the most part and is neutral and unbiased. The one thing is as I mentioned earlier the bio section. 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): The images are certainly useful and I feel there are plenty.
Overall: Pass/Fail: Overall, I feel this meets all the criteria for a good article!

Garfield Circle

Should Garfield Circle redirect to this page?

Also, the opening sentence says "The James A. Garfield Monument stands on the grounds of the United States Capitol in the traffic circle at First Street and Maryland Avenue SW..." Should we change this to "The James A. Garfield Monument stands on the grounds of the United States Capitol in Garfield Circle, a traffic circle at First Street and Maryland Avenue SW..." or similar? ---Another Believer _(Talk) 02:27, 22 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
