GA Review[edit]

This review is transcluded from Talk:USS Wainwright (DD-62)/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

Below is my review:

GA review (see here for criteria)

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose): b (MoS):
I think Reinstated should go before Struck in infobox, so that the dates follow the chronological order.
Good point. Swapped.

Early Career - 'She returned to Boston on the 10th for a short period in the Navy Yard': 10th of February or March?
Changed to 10 March. — Bellhalla (talk) 05:41, 18 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

World War I - 'Wainwright again briefly patrolled Hampton Roads before heading for the New York Navy Yard on the 14th': 14th of what? I think it is April, which apparently becomes clear later, but should be mentioned here at the first instance.
Good suggestion. Changed. — Bellhalla (talk) 05:41, 18 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

World War I - 'This division— ably led by Comdr. Joseph K. Taussig': I guess the use of words such as ably is discouraged per WP:MoS.
Yes, it is discouraged and I just missed this one. (With some of these DANFS-based articles it's hard to catch all of the jingoistic and/or pro-American statements.) — Bellhalla (talk) 05:41, 18 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
Discrepancy in speed - 56 km/h (text) and 56.8 km/h (infobox)
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
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):
Overall:
Pass/Fail:

Thanks - DSachan (talk) 15:52, 17 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think I've addressed all of your concerns. If this passes, you will have exhausted all of my GA nominations (except for John Henry Turpin) in a two-day span. Thanks! — Bellhalla (talk) 05:41, 18 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Bellhalla, speed issue is not yet addressed. I somehow missed Turpin's nomination. I can do it later today. DSachan (talk) 06:10, 18 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Don't know how I missed that, but I think I've got it now. Also, thanks for the Turpin review, too. — Bellhalla (talk) 11:26, 18 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
