I look forward to reviewing this article. I'll begin with some initial comments sometime within the next 24-36 hours after a few readings and confirming some of the citations, etc. Thanks! --ColonelHenry (talk) 01:10, 17 October 2013 (UTC)
Comments
[edit]- "The Fergusons were Episcopalian" - link Episcopalian to the Scottish Episcopal Church. Americans will think of the Protestant Episcopal Church of the United States and wonder why you didn't say "Anglican"

Review and criteria analysis
[edit]GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria
I would recommend you seek an editor who does copyediting (Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors) to fix this article's shortcomings before seeking another GA review.
- Is it reasonably well written?
- A. Prose is clear and concise, without copyvios, or spelling and grammar errors:
- Article needs an intensive copyedit (c/e) for basic style/formatting errors and to fix awkward syntax and sentence structures. I think these copyediting concerns are too substantial and require too exhaustive of a time and effort to rectify that it should be done outside of the GA process, and such preparations should be done before seeking another GA review.
- A. Prose is clear and concise, without copyvios, or spelling and grammar errors:
- The article was copy edited by the GOCE and Eric Corbett also did some copy editing.
- Is it factually accurate and verifiable?
- A. Has an appropriate reference section:
- Article does have an acceptable reference section
- B. Citation to reliable sources where necessary:
- Many statements in the article need to be properly sourced.
- A. Has an appropriate reference section:
- Some examples might have been helpful.
- C. No original research:
- Do not see any evidence or indication of original research.
- C. No original research:
- Is it broad in its coverage?
- A. Major aspects:
- Seems to cover the major aspects of the subject.
- B. Focused:
- Copyediting would improve the focus. The paragraphs tend to fall into tangents, rambling clauses. These issues interfere with proper adherence with the principles of WP:SUMMARY.
- A. Major aspects:
- Is it neutral?
- Fair representation without bias:
- Seems to be neutral. No evidence or indication of bias.
- Fair representation without bias:
- Is it stable?
- No edit wars, etc:
- No evidence or indication of edit-warring or content disputes.
- No edit wars, etc:
- Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?
- A. Images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid fair use rationales are provided for non-free content:
- Most images are properly tagged, two questionable because of insufficient information.
- B. Images are provided if possible and are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions:
- Images are relevant
- A. Images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid fair use rationales are provided for non-free content:
- Overall:
- Pass or Fail:
- 1a criteria compliance would take too much time and is best done outside GA process.
- Pass or Fail:
- Thank you for reviewing this article, ColonelHenry; I did wait until after it had been copy edited by the GOCE before nominating it for GA and this was undertaken. Your comments are appreciated. SagaciousPhil - Chat 16:11, 18 October 2013 (UTC)
