GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

This article is in decent shape, but it needs more work before it becomes a Good Article.

  1. Is it well written?
    A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:
    In the History section, "In 1950" add a comma after 1950. Same section, it would be best to mention "Dwight Eisenhower" first and then mention "Eisenhower" instead of having it the other way around.

    B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:
    Dates need to be unlinked, per here.

  2. Is it verifiable with no original research, as shown by a source spot-check?
    A. It contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline:
    References 4, 6, 7, 11, 12, and 18 are missing Publisher info.
     Done
    Check. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 15:33, 13 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    B. Reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose):
    Does Reference 9 cover all this ---> "From its completion in 1955 to the end of Eisenhower's second term on January 20, 1961, the President spent 365 days total on the Gettysburg farm. The longest of these stays was 38 days, due to recovering from an heart attack he suffered in Colorado in 1955. Afterwards, the Eisenhowers spent most weekends and summer vacations at the Gettysburg Farm, sometimes going to both the Gettysburg farm and Camp David, prompting one person to call Camp David "an annex to Gettysburg"?
    Yes it does.--Gen. Bedford his Forest 00:35, 13 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    Alright, just wanted to be sure and check. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 15:33, 13 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    C. It contains no original research:
    D. It contains no copyright violations nor plagiarism:
  3. Is it broad in its coverage?
    A. It addresses the main aspects of the topic:
    B. It stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style):
  4. Is it neutral?
    It represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each:
    This sentence ---> "which many Southerners saw as disrespecting the great Robert E. Lee", sounds like POV and may need to be re-written, mainly because "the great" is mentioned.
     Done
    It is what the source cited; I'll look for the exact page number.--Gen. Bedford his Forest 00:35, 13 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    Never mind; found another source.--Gen. Bedford his Forest 00:48, 13 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  5. Is it stable?
    It does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute:
  6. Is it illustrated, if possible, by images?
    A. Images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content:
    B. Images are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions:
  7. Overall:
    Pass or Fail:
    Not much to do. If the statements above can be answered, I will pass the article. Good luck with improving this article!

Thank you to Gen. Bedford for getting the stuff I left at the talk page, because I have gone off and placed the article as GA. Congrats. ;) --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 15:33, 13 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
