[edit] Failed "good article" nomination

This article failed good article nomination. This is how the article, as of February 21, 2007, compares against the six good article criteria:

1. Well written?: It was okay, could use a thorough copy edit or two for awkward wording.

2. Factually accurate?: The entire section 'Printer's Row' is riddled with stuff that screams OR. There are a multitide of weasel words to which affects the NPOV

3. Broad in coverage?: Pretty thorough, could use more on history, parks and redevelopment though.

4. Neutral point of view?: See above

5. Article stability? Looks stable

6. Images?: Way way way too many, they are formatted strangely too, along the left side of the page.

When these issues are addressed, the article can be resubmitted for consideration. Thanks for your work so far. --A mcmurray 16:51, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] GA Pass

Article was renominated for GA status by TonyTheTiger on 26 February 2007 (UTC). I have reviewed the article. Having viewed the rewritten article, as well as the original one from the article history, it looks to me like most of the above comments have been addressed. I made a few minor spelling/grammar changes, and changed the names & altered the order of 'references' (for inline citations), 'further reading' (for books not cited by the article), and 'external links'; to conform to existing standards of the order of these sections in wikipedia. Article is pretty thorough; could use a bit of expansion in some areas, like parks & redevelopment, before FA status, though. Dr. Cash 01:35, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
