GA Review

This review is transcluded from Talk:Patrick Cleburne/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

Very good article: well-written, -cited and -illustrated; just placing on hold while the items below are addressed...

• It is reasonably well written.

  a (prose): b (MoS):

• Intro is really too short for GA, would normally expect a couple of paragraphs, each somewhat longer than the one that’s there now.
• During the campaigns of 1863 in Tennessee, Cleburne and his soldiers fought at the Battle of Chickamauga, including a rare night assault and a fierce rear guard action that probably saved the Army of Tennessee from utter destruction by holding off a much larger Union force on the northern end of Missionary Ridge after the Battle of Missionary Ridge in Chattanooga, and at the Battle of Ringgold Gap in northern Georgia, in which Cleburne's men again protected the Army of the Tennessee as it retreated to Tunnel Hill, Georgia. This sentence really should be split, too big a mouthful...
• Believe the "several geographic features" named after him should just be in a sentence, not a bulleted list.

• It is factually accurate and verifiable.

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

• Generally I find we only include items in a Reference section if they're specifically cited, otherwise they go under a Further Reading section. By that standard Buck, for instance, would be moved from References to Further Reading.

• It is broad in its coverage.

  a (major aspects): b (focused):

• It follows the neutral point of view policy.

  a (fair representation): b (all significant views):

• Think we should drop "solid" from solid, middle-class - seems a bit opinionated.
• ...events that some say indeed came to pass sounds like editorialising, even if you're only reflecting a comment that's in your source; in any case, "some say" is a weasel phrase - who says it?

• It is stable.

  No edit wars etc.:

• It contains images, where possible, to illustrate the topic.

  a (tagged and captioned): b (lack of images does not in itself exclude GA): c (non-free images have fair use rationales):

• Overall:

  a Pass/Fail:

GA Review

This review is transcluded from Talk:Patrick Cleburne/GA2. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

Re-reviewing this article after having to fail its first GA nomination when points raised were not addressed, I'm satisfied that all earlier issues have been taken care of and the GA criteria are now met. Passed - well done all! Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 13:34, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

Birthplace

Article says Cleburne was born in Ovens, County Cork, Ireland (a small village 10 miles west of Cork City). I have located an early 20th century reference saying he was born in Queenstown, County Cork, (now known as Cobh) a town 15 miles south east of Cork City - see http://www.corkpastandpresent.ie/genealogy/pikescontemporarybiographies/contemporarybiographieso-y/biographies_hodges_complete_277_281.pdf Coolavokig (talk) 08:14, 11 October 2013 (UTC)

Proposed merge of Statue of Patrick Cleburne (Cleburne, Texas) into Patrick Cleburne

Is the statue worth its own page?   Kadzi   (talk) 12:39, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
