Talk:George H. D. Gossip/GA1

GA Review
The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.''

This is probably the best Wikipedia entry about any chess master, and is certainly the best one which I have read. The author has done a superb job of collecting and sourcing seemingly every scrap of available information about Gossip, but without getting bogged down in uninteresting details in the article itself. He also has a knack for compiling information about the subjects's personal life, and of the opinions about the subject, in a way that is both interesting and objective. I was also pleased with the balance the author struck on the subject's personal life, touching on the significant points without getting into sludge.

This article is a model for how biographies of chess players should be written in Wikipedia, if not for all biographies. Caissanist (talk) 01:31, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I'll review this. I actually have some expertise in chess history, but I haven't seen this article before, and know virtually nothing about Mr. Gossip. Crystal whacker (talk) 04:13, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm passing this article. The A-class review precedes this review, and having read the article I have nothing substantive to add. I would support this article at Featured nominations if it came that way. Crystal whacker (talk) 04:54, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, that was quick! Thanks, Crystal whacker! Krakatoa (talk) 05:23, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
