Style

 * At first read, the impression is that this is poorly structured and written.
 * Extraneous wikilinks throughout
 * Was Produced by Heritage Film Project copied direct from IMDb? Using lines like that is not generally accepted prose on Wikipedia.
 * The actual prose part of the awfully-named "Documentaries and Other Media" section is also poor in that it contains two things: a film synopsis and a brief sentence for relating the film to the college - which is just restating that it is Brown College on Monroe Hill at the University of Virginia.
 * The (entirely unreferenced) Activities section reads like an advertisement.
 * The timeline could easily be in prose.
 * Fail stopping before getting into detail

Coverage

 * Just from reading the one source attributing the History wall, I can see that there's a lot more on the history and the main building than the article contains. This information is in a source that's been cherrypicked for the article, why is it not included?
 * On the other hand, some of the things mentioned thereafter seem trivial. If things like the quirky essay questions and social events were expanded on, their inclusion wouldn't seem so misplaced.
 * Fail gaps

Illustration

 * The image of the buildings could surely be placed in the infobox?
 * Both infoboxes look good
 * The Monroe Hill artwork is very big, but I'm also not sure if it's necessary.
 * Needs attention

Stability

 * Good
 * Pass

Verifiability

 * The sources seem generally good, if inconsistently formatted.
 * However, there are a few dead links
 * About half the article is unreferenced.
 * The source currently [16] only establishes the titles Grand Poobah and Shama Llama Ding Dong, it does not mention anything else it is supposedly attributing.
 * Fail

Neutrality

 * Parts are very much like advertising (see above).
 * Fail

Copyright

 * Check looks fine
 * Pass

Overall

 * Symbol oppose vote.svg This is very far from meeting the GA criteria. Kingsif (talk) 05:01, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
