Hi, I'll be looking over this one. APK hi :-)  ( talk ) 06:49, 4 December 2023 (UTC)

Lead...
 * ✅ Per MOS:CITELEAD it's unnecessary to have citations in the lead.
 * ✅ Add (USGS) after the first use of United States Geological Survey in the lead. In the second sentence, it's abbreviated U.S.G.S., then USGS in the next sentence.
 * ✅ Abbreviate the second time United States Geological Survey is written in the lead.
 * ✅ Panama Canal Company is linked the second time it's mentioned instead of the first.
 * ✅ There's a semicolon after "Alaksa" but then commas used in the rest of the sentence.

Early life...
 * Is there any more content that could be added? I understand if there's a lack of sources. ✅ I brought over some info that I had found for the article on his father. I think it is good to add the slavery aspect. I have yet to find a specific name for his childhood home, although it does have a state historic marker (for his father).

Career...
 * ✅ "the plateau region north of the Grand Canyon in Colorado" - Makes it sound like the Grand Canyon is in Colorado or that Utah is north of the Grand Canyon. If you meant northeast, then use that.
 * ✅ Add spacing here: "Railroad Survey(also called"
 * ✅ "In 1886, he was supervised surveys in Texas" - Get rid of the "was"
 * ✅ "In May of June of 1888" - Do you mean "or" instead?
 * ✅ Rhode Island is not linked, but the other states are.
 * The third paragraph is one sentence. I would combine it with the next paragraph.
 * ✅ Kansas, Arizona, Colorado, and Washington are linked twice.
 * ✅ "Society" is not included in the link with National Geographic. Add the abbreviation so it can be used in the next section.
 * ✅ "U.S.G.S." again and it needs a comma.
 * ✅ Comma after C. in Washington, D.C.

Professional affiliations...
 * ✅ Comma after "Club"
 * ✅ Unlink National Geographic Society and change to NGS.

Honors... Personal...
 * ✅ I think it should be "named after him" instead of "named for him" but I could be mistaken.
 * ✅ Unlink California and Alaska
 * ✅ Add the km conversion after "vertical mile"
 * ✅ Unlink Washington, D.C.
 * ✅ Unlink President Grover Cleveland
 * ✅ Colonial-style should link to Colonial Revival architecture

External links...
 * Is there something notable about the Map of northern Virginia? (hi, that's where I am) ✅ Not really. I will move it to the list of maps.

I found more ✅ info about his death and burial place if you want to add that. This one has good info if you haven't seen it.

It was a pleasure to learn about Goode. Thanks for writing. Let me know if you have any questions. APK hi :-)  ( talk ) 08:21, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
