Looks neat. I'll review. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 01:23, 31 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Lead
 * "The museum was established in the same year" - not a big deal but as the previous sentence gives two years, this could be seen as ambiguous
 * Clarified. – ♠Vamí _IV†♠  19:13, 7 August 2022 (UTC)
 * I think the lead needs to be expanded to cover more of the article's scope
 * Speaking of scope, since the article discusses the Rutgers Geology Museum as well as the building, the museum should be bolded in the lead and perhaps emphasized slightly more
 * Bolded. – ♠Vamí _IV†♠  19:13, 7 August 2022 (UTC)


 * History
 * Not sure para 1 needs to lead with the 1872 founding, it feels a bit confusing to be told one date and then go immediately back to the 1830s.
 * Moved mention of founding. – ♠Vamí _IV†♠  19:13, 7 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Can we get slight context for Lewis Caleb Beck? (Even just a single word "geologist Lewis Caleb Beck" is fine)
 * Job desc. added. Dude was something of a scientific polymath as I understand. – ♠Vamí _IV†♠  19:13, 7 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Para 3 sentence 1 feels like it's reading out of order, going from Henry to Jacob back to Henry - it would be tidier to put the clause about "the architect selected" first, I think, then you're going from Henry to Jacob cleanly.
 * Done as suggested. – ♠Vamí _IV†♠  19:13, 7 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Context for Albert Huntington Chester?
 * Job desc. added. – ♠Vamí _IV†♠  19:13, 7 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Architecture
 * Section feels kind of skimpy compared to the fairly robust history section
 * What is there is honestly all I could find on my own with the resources known to me. I have some contact information for relevant members of the Rutgers faculty, though, and I could inquire for more from them. – ♠Vamí _IV†♠  19:13, 7 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Nah, it is what it is. We are only so good as the sources we have and it's certainly not enough to fail GA on. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 23:36, 11 August 2022 (UTC)
 * I see why it's here given that it's transitioning off the mention of the armory, but theft of muskets feels like it belongs in the history section
 * For the life of me I could not find a way to include this in #History. – ♠Vamí _IV†♠  19:13, 7 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Thoughts about the section swap mentioned below? &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 23:37, 11 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Swapped and required adjustments made. – ♠Vamí _IV†♠  03:13, 13 August 2022 (UTC)
 * I wonder if Architecture should be moved up ahead of History, which would allow the armory to be mentioned in History without surprising the user


 * Everything else
 * This is a total nitpick but I'm not sure Books and Articles needs a separate section under sourcing given that only one item in the bibliography falls outside it
 * Distinction abrogated. – ♠Vamí _IV†♠  19:13, 7 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Commons:Category:Geology Hall (Rutgers) has some interesting images, this shot of the interior in particular: File:Rutgers-geology-interior_01.png
 * Added. – ♠Vamí _IV†♠  19:13, 7 August 2022 (UTC)

Overall it's a well-written article that just needs some tweaks. Feel free to discuss if you don't agree with suggested changes. No concerns about sourcing reliability/source-text integrity. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 15:52, 6 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Basically almost there. Slight expansion to the lead, response to the section swap suggestion, and we're good to go. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 23:38, 11 August 2022 (UTC)
 * How's it look now? – ♠Vamí _IV†♠  03:13, 13 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Good to go my friend! Congrats on another GA :) &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 06:04, 13 August 2022 (UTC)
