Linkrot: three found and fixed. Jezhotwells (talk) 00:52, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

Checking against GA criteria

GA review (see here for criteria)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

   The Lead does not fully summarize the article. No mention of the archaelogical investigations and the impact on conso purchasers; origins as a plantation. The lead should be an executive style summary of the whole article, see WP:LEAD.

I've expanded the lead and added information on the plantation's history and the information regarding the archaeological excavation. -- Caponer (talk) 17:23, 25 January 2014 (UTC)

1. Events: Lists should be turned into prose.

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

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

   Please check ref#3 which I repaired manually. It may not reference both the Mason family members correctly.

I've removed this reference and replaced it with references that address all the Mason family members indicated in the prose. -- Caponer (talk) 17:23, 25 January 2014 (UTC)

1. Ideally, titles of cites should not be capitalized, but this is not a GA requirement.

I've corrected this. -- Caponer (talk) 17:23, 25 January 2014 (UTC)

1. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

   This article needs details of the structure, a plan would be good, details of number of rooms, etc.

This has been addressed in the architecture section. -- Caponer (talk) 17:23, 25 January 2014 (UTC)

1. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

2. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

3. 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):

   Are no pictures of the relocated mansion available?

Unfortunately, there are no free images of Colross available. I will work to locate and incorporate one. -- Caponer (talk) 17:23, 25 January 2014 (UTC)

1. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

   On hold for seven days for above issues to be addressed. Jezhotwells (talk) 01:07, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

   Well, no interest in fixing this up in seven days, so I am failing this nomination. Jezhotwells (talk) 01:56, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
