Talk:Neighborhoods of Davenport, Iowa/GA1

GA Review

Preliminary Review

Unfortunately, I do not bleieve this article qualifies for GA status at this time. The primary reason is due to the fact that the entire article uses one source but is inadequate as there is no way for readers or editors to find that source given the information provided. Please ensure that all references satisfy Wikipedia:Verifiability and that all facts presented throughout the article are properly cited.

When the source is properly cited, then I think it can go on for further review. I have placed the article under second opinion to see what others have to say about it. Best, Epicadam (talk) 16:28, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

The Davenport Public Library said this and one pamphlet were the only sources of information they had on neighborhoods in the city. Ctjf83Talk 16:29, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

There has to be some why to identify the source: "Historic Preservation in Davenport, Iowa." Plan and Zoning Commission (December 1985). If not, then like I said on the talk page, editors have no way of verifying material. If it came from a library, then please provide the library's identification data (call number, etc.) Even better, if its available, say where the library got it from; unless they printed it themselves, it came from somewhere, either the Plan and Zoning Commission itself or a government printing office, etc. Best, Epicadam (talk) 16:37, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

it is just a book in the basement of the library that can't be checked out. So if I go get the call number, and put the library name, is it gonna pass the GA, or still not there yet? Ctjf83Talk 16:41, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Depends. If it's the only source, then it's the only source. The important part is that somebody else is able to find the source material. I'll review the rest of the article to see if there are any other GA problems while the rest of the reference issues are sorted out. Best, Epicadam (talk) 16:47, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Since there's been no additional work on the article in a week, I am going to close off the nomination for now, but please renominate for GA status when everything's worked out! Best, epicAdam (talk) 15:48, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

Determined that Neighborhoods of Davenport, Iowa does not qualify for GA status on the basis that is essentially a list. Recommended nomination at Featured lists. epicAdam (talk) 17:20, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
