GA Review

Latest comment: 15 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

This review is transcluded from Talk:Battle on Snowshoes (1757)/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

Hi there, I am happy to tell you that this article has passed GA without the need for any further improvement. Listed below is information on how the article fared against the Wikipedia:good article criteria, with suggestions for future development. These are not required to achieve GA standard, but they might help in future A-class or FAC review process.

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose): b (MoS):

Again, prose is about a 6/10. Its readable, but not particularly fluid and would need some revision before attempting FAC.

It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):

One question that springs to mind is whether there was and backlash or criticism of Rodger's for murdering his prisoners: if they were "Indians" then I'd assume not, but if they were French then I'd expect there to be some form of protest.

They were probably Frenchmen (since it was a supply run, not something I would think Indians to have done). I don't recall seeing anything about protests concerning those sorts of killings; it may even have been somewhat typical of this sort of irregular frontier warfare.

It follows the neutral point of view policy.
a (fair representation): b (all significant views):
It is stable.
It contains images, where possible, to illustrate the topic.
a (tagged and captioned): b (lack of images does not in itself exclude GA): c (non-free images have fair use rationales):
Overall:
a Pass/Fail:

Thankyou and congratulations, an excellent addition to Wikipedia:Good Articles. All the best.--Jackyd101 (talk) 20:19, 12 June 2009 (UTC)Reply
