The article is stable.
No previous GA reviews.

General comments

Prose, spelling, and grammar checking.
- "Not did he only found a major union" → "Not did he only find a major union"
- "Amongst those" → "Among those"
- "in 1955" is mentioned twice in "In 1955, the area surrounding the memorial was officially renamed Samuel Gompers Memorial Park in 1955"
- "the memorial need immediate repairs" → "the memorial needed immediate repairs"
Checking whether the article complies with MOS.
- Use {{ubl}} inside the infobox instead of break (<br />) tags per MOS:NOBR.
- 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.
  - Ref 17, 18, 20 and 21 are missing pages.
  - Optional:
  - Wikilink James Moore Goode author to Ref 2.
  - Wikilink Aviva Kempner author to Ref 13.
- Spotchecked Ref 3, 4, 9, 10, 11, 15, 16–all verify the cited content. AGF on other citations.
  - I do not see $117,408 being mentioned in Ref 11.
- Checking potential copyright violations.
  - False positive. It picked up quotes.
Checking whether the article is broad in its coverage.
- 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.
- Images are properly licensed.

Final comments

@APK: The review will be put on hold for a week. Once the issues are addressed, I'll promote the article. Vacant0 (talk • contribs) 10:45, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Vacant0: I think all of the issues have been addressed. Thanks for taking the time to review the article. The issue with ref 11 is that the nomination form is only accessible by downloading it. It's on the bottom of the page for ref 11. I added a note section for clarity. APK hi :-) (talk) 04:51, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, sounds good. Promoting. Vacant0 (talk • contribs) 10:58, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
