Talk:Larry Geraty

My thoughts
I think the lead needs to be more summarizing of the article's information. I think the tone needs working on - make it less repetitive and a little more neutral. Add more commentary about the events.Jasper Deng (talk) 03:30, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
 * What specific issues do you see with NPOV? BelloWello (talk) 03:54, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I mean, the article is just basically a resume in tone. I'm a very strict judge on article tone, fyi.Jasper Deng (talk) 03:55, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I agree, but isn't that generally what biographical articles are? I guess my question wasn't very easy to answer, what specific improvements do you suggest? (Also, neither I nor anyone would object to your editing the article.) BelloWello (talk) 03:57, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
 * For example, space out the achievements of this person a little more, insert more commentary.Jasper Deng (talk) 04:01, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I will do my best to do so. BelloWello (talk) 04:35, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
 * The article is absolutely ready for the mainspace. It doesn't have to be perfect before it goes live, and this is already a pretty decent article.  I don't see any significant NPOV issues, though I agree with what I think Jasper is getting at in that the prose is a little dry.  However, that is pretty typical in biographical articles, especially in the beginning when you are focusing on covering the important facts.  I think you ought to take this live and let the wiki process do its thing.-- Kubigula (talk) 04:08, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the affirmation Kubigula. I've gone ahead and moved it and nominated it for a DYK. BelloWello (talk) 04:35, 7 May 2011 (UTC)

Copyedit May 2011
Hi

During the copyedit a few things came to light which may need attention:


 * Andrews University Seminary
 * "...begin internship training in the summer of 1963. He continued his internship at the seminary in the fall of 1962." - odd, he could not have continued it before he started it.


 * Archaeologist
 * There is a lot of material hidden in this section, is there a reason for this?

 * Hi Chaosdruid, I think I have resolved both concerns you have raised. DonaldRichardSands (talk) 18:42, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

A slight concern
It's a bit surprised for me that this article is a GA. IMHO it look like an advert rather than a NPOV biography. Also, I've added that he's currently the chairman of Chemax Education Foundation, which is being shown on its website.--Jsjsjs1111 (talk) 22:34, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
