Rate | Attribute | Review Comment |
---|---|---|
1. Well-written: | ||
1a. the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct. | All of the prose issues noted below have been rectified.
These are taken care of now. Magic♪piano 19:24, 6 August 2016 (UTC) | |
1b. it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation. | The article is broken up into sections, the lead section neatly summarizes the article and the general layout of the article is appropriate. There are practically no issues with words to watch. The article is not about a fictional topic and thus not subject to the fiction part of MOS and the lack of lists in the article has a similar effect regarding the list part of MOS. | |
2. Verifiable with no original research: | ||
2a. it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline. | The issues with the format of a few of the sources has been rectified.
I have fixed these. Magic♪piano 20:56, 5 August 2016 (UTC) | |
2b. reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose). | The article makes a combined use of both secondary and primary sources for it's claims. I will note that there is a relatively strong reliance on the primary source Pearson which makes up 26/80+ (including a's, b's and c's etc) total citations, I estimate that about 38/80+ citations are to primary sources. | |
2c. it contains no original research. | After accessing the linked sources and a couple I had managed to get access to via google books preview, I am reasonably confident that no WP:OR issues exist in this article. | |
2d. it contains no copyright violations or plagiarism. | Earwig's copyvio detector rates it unlikely that any copyvio's are present in this article with a 7.4% confidence. | |
3. Broad in its coverage: | ||
3a. it addresses the main aspects of the topic. | I have look at several of the sources provided and used within the article and haven't found any lack of depth of coverage for this subject. | |
3b. it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style). | Article is clearly focused on its subject matter, it doesn't stray off-topic to start other unnecessary discussions and it doesn't delve into inappropriate minutia details. | |
4. Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each. | The article has a completely neutral tone and balances between sources quite well. There aren't any opposing views being presented, that's not to say there are none (nor that there are), merely a note of the clean agreement between the used sources (of which there are 17 distinct ones that are mostly secondary). | |
5. Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute. | The article is in a stable condition with no on-going edit-wars and no unresolved/outstanding content or other disputes on the talk page. | |
6. Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio: | ||
6a. media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content. | All five of the images in the article are tagged with the appropriate licenses, mostly PD with on CC-by-SA 2.0 ShareAlike. | |
6b. media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions. | All of the images now have suitable captions.
I have taken care of these. Magic♪piano 20:56, 5 August 2016 (UTC) | |
7. Overall assessment. |
As always I will be using the above table to complete my review. Mr rnddude (talk) 13:41, 3 August 2016 (UTC)
- Magicpiano I have completed my initial review of the article you have nominated. I have a few minor concerns which are listed in the above table for you to address. Another article about a topic I am not generally interested in that has been enjoyable to read. Thank you for your efforts in bringing these articles about Massachusetts' politicians to this level. As always, if you need any assistance feel free to ping me. Mr rnddude (talk) 15:15, 3 August 2016 (UTC)
- I think everything is taken care of. Thanks again for reviewing my article, and stay tuned for more Massachusetts politicians (although some of the upcoming batch are not much more interesting than Mr. Bullock...) Magic♪piano 19:24, 6 August 2016 (UTC)
