[edit] GA review

• The only reason I didn't pass it was that single sources are used continuously throughout the article. This might not matter, but I'm still not sure. Good luck! §tepshep • ¡Talk to me! 18:20, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

I've renominated the article at GAN - I glanced, and it needs a more thorough review than just "one source throughout" IMO. Hopefully someone will give it such, and I'll be happy to provide a 2nd opinion if they need it. dihydrogen monoxide (H₂0) 09:35, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] GA nomination passes

GA review (see here for criteria)

---

This is a nice piece of work, but it still has some shortcomings with respect to the good article criteria.

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose): b (MoS):

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

   I know there were concerns in the FAC about the article having only one source for sources (the Ohio Department of Development), but I don't see it as a problem given that it's from a state government and appears to be reliable. Furthermore, there are sources (though not many of them proportionally to the ODoD ones) from other outlets as well, so it's hardly entirely a one-source article. Finally, this is GA, not FA. We're a little more flexible here.

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars etc.:

6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

   Kudos on the clever use of the state quarter for the lede image.

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

   Good luck at FA now! I'll certainly vote for it. --Hemlock Martinis (talk) 18:47, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
