GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria


 * 1) Is it reasonably well written?
 * A. Prose quality:
 * B. MoS compliance:
 * I see no deadlinks at http://toolserver.org/~dispenser/cgi-bin/webchecklinks.py?page=Lakeshore_East
 * I meant the internal Wikilinks that don't go anywhere... i.e. Magellan Development Group LLC, etc. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Epicadam (talk • contribs) 15:23, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
 * There is a pretty big difference betweeen deadlinks and redlinks.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 17:27, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Of the redlinks only Magellan is likely to go a long time without an article, IMO, given the enthusiasm for creating building articles for this neighborhood.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 17:32, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
 * 1) Is it factually accurate and verifiable?
 * A. References to sources:
 * B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:
 * I have found refs for 1 and 4. For three I removed the minutes, but do not see any particular ref that describes this feature at this time.  However the page has a map so it is plain to see. 2. sounds like a marketing spiel.  I can not find the original idea at this time.  The ref from earlier in the paragraph is somewhat related so I added it.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 14:17, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
 * C. No original research:
 * 1) Is it broad in its coverage?
 * A. Major aspects:
 * Other things to do in the area is covered by 2B above, especially Millenium Park.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 14:19, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I added a sentence about the bus routes.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 14:43, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
 * B. Focused:
 * 1) Is it neutral?
 * Fair representation without bias:
 * 1) Is it stable?
 * No edit wars, etc:
 * Currently, my 118 edits dwarfs the next highest editor who has 8 edits. This is common when a single user decides to take an article to WP:GA status.  I do this all the time (see my user page).  I have never been told that this is a problem.  Feel free to leave this on hold for a few days if you are worried.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 14:55, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
 * 1) Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?
 * A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:
 * B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:
 * It is fairly common for building/neighborhood articles to work in as many images as possible. See List of Chicago Landmarks, South Side (Chicago), and any number of lists at Template:US tallest buildings lists (especially the numerous featured lists on this template).  I will remove if absolutely necessary, but I don't think this is anything unusual, especially given the  the multiple image template is so new.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 15:00, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
 * 1) Overall:
 * Pass or Fail:

 * Post-Revision Pass or Fail: Good stuff. Yes, I recognize that there are links to all the rewards material, etc. but that wasn't the part I had the most problems with, it's mostly just the glittery language to describe glitzy condos, etc. It just read like a investment pamphlet. I think the article's pretty set but since it was (comparatively) recently listed I'll stick a 2nd opinion tag on the review in case anybody wants to add their own 2 cents. If in a week or so nobody has any other comments, I'll move up to GA. Best, Epicadam (talk) 16:00, 10 June 2008 (UTC)


 * As a second opinion, I think the article meets the GA criteria, and can be promoted. It reads very well, is well cited, and informative. Though the pictures are a little bit heavy, I don't think it's 'over the top'. The only minor issue is that you may want to fix the first sentence ... "Lakeshore East is an award-winning master planned mixed use urban development". While the 'award-winning' part is backed up by the awards section later in the article, the sentence seems to run on and on a bit, and could probably be rephrased to sound a little less 'flowery'.

 * I fixed the opening sentence.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 08:19, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Perfect. I think the article is ready for GA status, since all the concerns made by editors have been addressed. Best, Epicadam (talk) 20:25, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
