Comments
Lead
- Add the materiel it is made of directly in the first sentence (eg. 'A bronze statue of William Francis Barnett...')
- Replace 'who had served as a general in the Union Army' with 'a general in the Union Army'
- That aside, lead is excellent
MOS compliance
- Per MOS:OL, United States and Massachusetts should not be in the lead (keep Boston)
Brevity/Writing
- WP:MOS/Accessibility, add an alternative caption to the image in the infobox
- Replace 'decided that the' with 'decided the' (outside of this I can spot no errors, including weasel words, etc)
Sourcing
- Excellent sourcing (both sources are WP:RS)
- 'The State House: Boston Massachusetts' should have an ISBN (I found one online - it is unfortunately not on the Google Books page)
- I would ideally also want more than two sources, although this is certainly enough
- No original research is present
Broadness
- The article goes into quite a bit of detail (eg. giving a nice background section which introduces Bartlett, how it bears a green patina, the celebration, and even the music played at the celebration - this seems almost WP:FA level comprehensiveness)
- I quite like how the article is both comparatively comprehensive, yet also well written
Neutrality
- No issues here
Stability
- No issues here
Images
- Illustrated with an image
- If possible, find photos/paintings/images of the unveiling (probably don't exist unfortunately), or add a picture/photo/painting of Bartlett
Aside from extremely minor 'issues,' this article is certainly a good article. Great job working on it.
