• Sure, why not. I'll do my best!

• @JPxG: Please take your time in doing the review. I broke my shoulder and had to have surgery. I won' be able to respond to any issues for 3 weeks. Thanks.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 16:25, 25 November 2021 (UTC)

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

1. It is reasonably well written.

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

• Lede is a good, terse summary.

1. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR): d (copyvio and plagiarism):

• redlink to railroad ballast might profitably go to track ballast
• redlink to mine dusting might profitably go to Rockdust
• Reference 24 goes to 404. Archive version found here
• Reference 29 does not particularly go anywhere.

1. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

• History section is well referenced.
• Uses section is appropriately comprehensive
• Self-unloading ships of the company is an important inclusion.

1. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

• NPOV is presented in this article.

1. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

• Page created 9 May 2008
• Page has 135 edits by 57 editors and 15 anonymous editors
• Majority of edits in 2021 = 53
• 90 day page views = 1,118
• Page is considered stable

1. It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

1. Overall:

• Redlinks are not show stoppers but merit correction.
• Two references can be repaired.
• Micketti is used comprehensively. AGF here as it is not accessible on Google Books.
• Generally, a well written, interesting article as limestone has many, important uses. --Whiteguru (talk) 02:30, 16 April 2022 (UTC)
