Talk:John Work House and Mill Site

Historic buildings of Louisville
I wasn't sure about adding it either, but it is on the National Register. But don't worry about filling out the category; I've been doing a good job of that myself.--Bedford 06:00, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Quick-failed Good Article nomination
Per the quick-fail criteria of the GA nominations process, any article with cleanup or expansion banners must be failed without an in-depth review. Also note that the nomination was not completed correctly, as a nomination was made on the candidates page, but the appropriate template was not placed here. Please remedy these before renominating. If you feel this decision was in error, you may request a reassessment. Thank you for your work so far, Van Tucky  Talk 06:19, 10 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Oops, did not realize that banner was still there. There isn't that much more about its time as a Scout Camp that's really needed.  I didn't have time yet to put the GA nominee on talk page.  I am now requesting reassigning.--Bedford 06:28, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure if you understand what reassessment means. It means you think my decision was completely wrong and that it needs to be reversed. This is pretty much impossible, as the article wasn't actually reviewed. If you've gotten rid of any quick-fail issues, then the thing to do is renominate and wait for the usual full review.

 * Sorry, it's my first time doing this. Anyways, I renominated it.--Bedford 06:35, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
 * No need to be sorry. You aren't born with a knowledge of GA bureaucracy! Best of luck, Van Tucky  Talk 06:36, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

Note to GA assessor
I just want it to be let know to whoever reviews this for GA that I plan to take pictures within the property on Tuesday, so if it would fail due to lack of pictures, put it on hold instead.--Bedford (talk) 00:17, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

GA Review
The article does not meet the GA criteria at the present time, as there are still numerous issues with it.

The prose could use a good copyedit, fixing things like run-on sentences (e.g. the first sentence in 'mill days'), as well as punctuation issues. There are also numerous manual of style issues; full dates should be wikilinked, several place names (like Louisville) should be linked to articles for added context, etc. Reference citations need full citation information, instead of just a URL (e.g. please put author, title, publisher, date of publication, date URL was retrieved, so that if the URL ever disappears or is inaccessible, the reference can still be used to track down the source and verify it offline). The first two items in the 'legends' section have no citations, and could be construed as original research. The 'Work/Faris Cemetery' section and 'Today' are very short. There's just not a whole lot of detail here, and, particularly 'today', could be expanded with more information.

Also, with regard to section order, 'references' should appear before 'external links', not after.✅

The link to 'John Work House and Mill Site is at coordinates 38°28′60″N 85°37′36″W﻿ / ﻿38.4833, -85.6267' seems redundant -- the link to the coordinates is at the very top of the page. Why is it linked again in external links?✅

Hope this helps improve the article. Good luck! Dr. Cash (talk) 17:36, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. One of my goals is to get this to GA in 2008.--Bedford (talk) 09:14, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
