GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

  1. Is it well written?
    A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:  
    • Jasmine Clemons of Planned Parenthood said "I made the best decision for my life, my future and my body ... " but doesn't say what her decision was. If it was an abortion, it's unclear here.
    Done. --- C&C (Coffeeandcrumbs) 20:24, 3 November 2020 (UTC)Reply
    • The sentence that begins, "On September 20, former U.S. President Bill Clinton, who nominated Ginsburg" is an incredibly long run-on sentence that takes up half the paragraph. Perhaps make it two sentences?
    Done. --- C&C (Coffeeandcrumbs) 20:24, 3 November 2020 (UTC)Reply
    B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:  
  2. Is it verifiable with no original research?
    A. It contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline:  
    B. All in-line citations are from reliable sources, including those for direct quotations, statistics, published opinion, counter-intuitive or controversial statements that are challenged or likely to be challenged, and contentious material relating to living persons—science-based articles should follow the scientific citation guidelines:  
    C. It contains no original research:  
    As far as I can tell, this article is based on news accounts, not OR
    D. It contains no copyright violations nor plagiarism:  
    Earwig's tool flags a lot, but it all seems to be quotations and common phrases and proper nouns that cannot be avoided.
  3. Is it broad in its coverage?
    A. It addresses the main aspects of the topic:  
    B. It stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style):  
  4. Is it neutral?
    It represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each:  
  5. Is it stable?
    It does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute:  
  6. Is it illustrated, if possible, by images?
    A. Images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid fair use rationales are provided for non-free content:  
    Per Commons:Photographs of identifiable people and Commons:Copyright rules by territory/United States the images provided are permitted, and documented where uploaded on Commons
    B. Images are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions:  
  7. Overall:
    Pass or Fail:  
    Congratulations. I noticed the nomination by accident today. And today, of all days, it seems appropriate to honor her memory with this review. — Maile (talk) 20:36, 3 November 2020 (UTC)Reply
