Result: In two months, no one has expressed any significant concerns with the article - certainly nothing that would necessitate a delist. Anything else can be resolved through normal editing processes, or at FAC if that's in the cards.PMC(talk) 17:21, 6 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I nominated Mamie Eisenhower for GA, but it was quick-passed. The subsequent discussion was unhelpful, so I feel it should be reassessed to confirm that it meets the standards or so I know what to fix if it does not. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 08:26, 24 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

At first glance, the article looks excellent. A few comments
  • history.com is not generally considered reliable. Is there a better source for her maiden name?
  • Not relevant for the GA criteria, but I see WP:ALTs are missing.
  • You could argue the Sienna College rankings are trivia. These sections are better written with secondary sources.
  • "Eisenhower did not enjoy the comforts that she had grown accustomed to in childhood" maybe a bit too flowery? I first read this as "she now had comforts, which she did not enjoy".
  • I've checked the use of the book by her granddaughter. In general, it's only used for neutral statemets (I'd be concerned if it was used for positive statements.)
I sampled about 20% of the article's prose. I'm sure a more thorough GA review would find more instances of prose that can be improved, but what I've seen so far makes me happy to say keep. —Femke 🐦 (talk) 20:00, 31 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Thebiguglyalien: maybe you missed my previous comments? Would you have time to address my comments? —Femke 🐦 (talk) 14:14, 11 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the notification! The rankings weren't there when this became a good article, but I feel that they're relevant, and so far I haven't found any better sources describing historian opinion of her role as first lady. Otherwise I've addressed all listed concerns. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 15:11, 11 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
