Oak Ridge Military Academy


I've listed this article for peer review because I've been working on it for a while now and my goal is to get it up to GA status, but first I want someone with a bit of experience editing wikipedia to check whether the article fulfills all of the requirements for B class. The two requirements that the original article: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Oak_Ridge_Military_Academy&oldid=1098428422 failed were Referencing and citation and Coverage and accuracy. To remedy the Referencing and citations, I added 10 new citations. To remedy the Coverage and accuracy, I added content to the history section, and Oak Ridge Today. I also added the Extracurriculars section.

Comments after a quick skim:

Done Fixed it by reoganizing the structure of the article I don't know what you mean by this, Red Hayworth and Ray Hayworth are two different people. Is there a way to have one citation to one cite even when they are two different people?
 * Take a look at Amador Valley High School for ideas of sections that can be added to this article.
 * A citation is needed at the end of the last paragraph in "History".
 * I'm not sure what the "Oak Ridge Today" section is about. It is about the operations of the school? A history of modern-day activities?
 * Combine refs 20 and 21
 * I suggest looking for additional sources on WP:LIBRARY, Google, archive.org or your local library system.

I hope this helps. I updated the article to B-class. Z1720 (talk) 20:34, 4 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Thanks for responding so quickly to my peer review request! I'm happy you think that the article is good enough for B-class. I fixed the problems you pointed out and added 6 more sources. I've been thinking about putting this one up for a GAN but I was wondering if I could get your opinion on it? Thanks, Surfinsi Surfinsi (talk) 09:47, 6 February 2023 (UTC)

Hi, I went to the article after seeing it listed on the MilHist requests for assessment page. I've copyedited for prose and style but I couldn't agree with B-class as yet if only because several of the notable alumni are uncited; I've tagged the section as such. I haven't checked reliability of sources or image licensing as yet. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 12:03, 7 February 2023 (UTC)


 * I added citations to the last half of the Notable Alumni Section. Thanks for helping! You said that the only reason why the article wasn't B-class because of the referencing and citation so I'm going to re-rate the article as B-class, but if you disagree with that rating then don't hesitate to let me know and I'll fix it. Thanks. Surfinsi (talk) 16:52, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi, I said it wasn't B-class for MilHist "if only" because of missing citations, I wasn't trying to imply that was all there was to it -- as I mentioned I haven't checked source reliability or image licensing, and would want to do that before rating B-class. In any case MilHist assessments require an independent editor to rate for B-class, not someone closely involved with the article like yourself, so would you mind reverting yourself and I'll look at those elements when I get a chance?

Okay, tks for the reversion and your patience while I got back to this. Image licensing looks fine. Re. references, the ncleg.net site times out for me, how is it for you? Also I think I'd want a stronger ref for Hernandez than her casually mentioning it at a concert... Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 09:47, 11 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the suggestions, I added a citation on Jessica Hernandez to Detroit Free Press. As for the North Carolina General Assembly records, does this specific link not work for you, or does the site's main page not work for you as well? If its the former, I could give you instructions on how to access the document via the website's home page so you can check my source. Thanks, Surfinsi (talk) 04:58, 12 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi Surfinsi, again my apologies for taking time to return... No, not even the main page works for me. If it definitely does for you though, I wouldn't generally make a big issue of it because these things sometimes happen but the statement Oak Ridge is the official military school of North Carolina is pretty important -- can you cite that to another source? Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 16:55, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Sure, I added a citation to an official report and ncpedia. Thanks, Surfinsi (talk) 17:13, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Heh, oddly enough the edocs link doesn't work for me either, so maybe just drop that. The ncpedia one does the job nicely, so definitely retain that. Anyway you have patiently actioned my concerns so I'm happy to adjust the MilHist assessment accordingly. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 00:14, 24 February 2023 (UTC)
