I shall be reviewing this article against the Good Article criteria, following its nomination for Good Article status.

Disambiguations: none found. Jezhotwells (talk) 00:52, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

Linkrot: three found and fixed. Jezhotwells (talk) 00:52, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

Checking against GA criteria

 * GA review (see here for criteria)


 * 1) It is reasonably well written.
 * a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
 * The Lead does not fully summarize the article. No mention of the archaelogical investigations and the impact on conso purchasers; origins as a plantation. The lead should be an executive style summary of the whole article, see WP:LEAD.
 * I've expanded the lead and added information on the plantation's history and the information regarding the archaeological excavation. -- Caponer (talk) 17:23, 25 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Events: Lists should be turned into prose.
 * 1) It is factually accurate and verifiable.
 * a (references): b (citations to reliable sources):  c (OR):
 * Please check ref#3 which I repaired manually. It may not reference both the Mason family members correctly.
 * I've removed this reference and replaced it with references that address all the Mason family members indicated in the prose. -- Caponer (talk) 17:23, 25 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Ideally, titles of cites should not be capitalized, but this is not a GA requirement.
 * I've corrected this. -- Caponer (talk) 17:23, 25 January 2014 (UTC)


 * 1) It is broad in its coverage.
 * a (major aspects): b (focused):
 * This article needs details of the structure, a plan would be good, details of number of rooms, etc.
 * This has been addressed in the architecture section. -- Caponer (talk) 17:23, 25 January 2014 (UTC)


 * 1) It follows the neutral point of view policy.
 * Fair representation without bias:
 * 1) It is stable.
 * No edit wars, etc.:
 * 1) 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):
 * Are no pictures of the relocated mansion available?
 * Unfortunately, there are no free images of Colross available. I will work to locate and incorporate one. -- Caponer (talk) 17:23, 25 January 2014 (UTC)

 * 1) Overall:
 * Pass/Fail:
 * On hold for seven days for above issues to be addressed. Jezhotwells (talk) 01:07, 26 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, no interest in fixing this up in seven days, so I am failing this nomination. Jezhotwells (talk) 01:56, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Jezhotwells, I apologize for not responding to your above thoughtful and comprehensive review of this article.
