• I've gone through and made minor edits, including spelling and grammar, to the article. I also fixed the alt text on a couple images. AstroCog (talk) 18:54, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

GA criteria

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

1. It is reasonably well written.

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

   Well written all-around. Some minor spelling and grammar issues, which I fixed myself.

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

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

   No problems here. Meticulous referencing throughout. Anything that is potentially controversial is properly cited.

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

   I walked away from this article feeling like I got a good, broad overview of Rowan's life. Places in the article which involved other subjects or issues were well-integrated with Rowan's life, so there wasn't a feeling of too much digression.

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

   Good job with neutrality. I liked the attention to such things as the "Kentucky Home" song, in the last section, and how claims about its origin were objectively scrutinized.

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

   No problems here.

6. 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):

   Again, no problems. A couple images needed alt-text, but I put those in myself.

7. Overall: This is really quite a nice article, and Acdixon should be commended for developing and curating it. This is an easy pass to GA status. Congratulations!
