@Yoninah:I am now starting this review. Thank you for the time you have put into this article and your work towards expanding Wikipedia’s quality content. I will add my comments into each of the following sections. Doctor^G  (talk) 00:17, 23 September 2017 (UTC)

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

   Use of prose, grammar, and spelling are consistent with Wikipedia policies and common practices.

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR): d (copyvio and plagiarism):

   Well cited throughout and backed up by quality sources. The Huffington Post article (reference #5) states this is "the first Seder to be celebrated in the White House." This conflicts with the Politico article (reference #8). Do you know for sure if the 1993 seder was in the White House or just on the White House compound (like it was in 2017)?

 Done Yes, the Obama seder was the first one to be held in the White House. I found another ref which indicates that the 1993 seder was held in the Indian Treaty Room, which is in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building. Yoninah (talk) 21:58, 23 September 2017 (UTC)

1. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

   I'm not sure it's possible to be broad, but the editors have done a good job including the various elements of a seder and how the president participated in the activities.

2. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

   NPOV looks good, content on other Presidential involvement/non-involvement is included.

3. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

   this article is stable and there are no apparent edit wars.

4. It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

   Multiple images are included that show the seder in progress for several years, as well as one of the staffer who helped start the tradition.

5. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

After a careful review and some minor changes from the editors, I believe this article meets the standards for a GA class article and am passing it. Thank you, @Yoninah: for your work and submission.

@Doctorg: thank you for the review and for all your kind words! Yoninah (talk) 14:05, 24 September 2017 (UTC)
