GodE: Littleton trained many wannabe glass artists. I think it would suffice to mention only 2 or 3 of the most famous ones.

Unfortunately, this article does not meet the Good Article criteria at this time. Some of the issues include:

  • The lead is too short. With such a fairly lengthy article, please expand the paragraph of the lead, and perhaps even consider adding a second paragraph to the lead.
  • Consider adding an Infobox with {{Infobox Person}}.
  • A significant amount of information goes unsourced. Examples include the paragraphs that begin with the following sentences:
    • "During summer break in 1942"
    • "He finished his degree in industrial design in 1947"
    • "Littleton’s production as a potter focused"
    • "Littleton began his teaching career"
    • "Littleton's artwork is in the collections of"
    • "Married to Bess Tamura Littleton since 1947."
  • The article also needs to be copyedited. Issues include:
    • The entire " Personal" section contains sentence fragments.

Once these issues have been resolved, feel free to return the article for a renomination. Gary King (talk) 16:24, 2 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

  • Just two comments:
  • What is "filial piety"? Can that be changed to something easier to understand?
  • The lead could probably be split into two paragraphs for ease of reading.
  • Otherwise, everything looks perfect. Really interesting, well-written article. In my view all the issues from the previous review have been rectified. One thing I should note is that there shouldn't be a space between periods and references. I've fixed this, but you might like to remember in the future. I assume you'll clarify the little issue I've noted above, so I'll pass the article. Great work. Naerii 12:30, 22 July 2008 (UTC)Reply
