GA Reassessment
This discussion is transcluded from Talk:Gowanus Canal/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the reassessment.

This article has been reviewed as part of WikiProject Good articles/Project quality task force. I believe the article currently meets the criteria and should remain listed as a Good article. I do however have some general comments and two specific points to go with them (See below). Firstly, some quite large sections of this article are very sparsely sourced and should have a lot more. Secondly, most of the web sources are improperly cited (see citations section below). Thirdly, parts of this article assume a familiarity with Brooklyn that a lot of readers don't have. Consider rephrasing and explaining a bit more.
 * "The canal was also the first site where chemical fertilizers were manufactured." - worldwide? In America? In New York? where?
 * I have added a tag to the article concerning the mafia association. This should be quite simple to sort out.

The article history has been updated to reflect this review. Regards, Jackyd101 (talk) 14:54, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
