GA review-see WP:WIAGA for criteria (and here for what they are not)

  1. Is it reasonably well written?
    a. prose: clear and concise, respects copyright laws, correct spelling and grammar: 
    Under "Military career" the subject is always referred to as Thompson, never he or with some less repetitive wording. Too much repetition of "Thompson".
    I've cut down the instances of this. —Ed!(talk) 15:21, 14 July 2012 (UTC)Reply
    b. complies with MoS for lead, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:  
    Too many "known to have" and "known to be" etc. Passive voice is to be avoided.
  1. Removed this. —Ed!(talk) 15:21, 14 July 2012 (UTC)Reply
  2. Is it factually accurate and verifiable?
    a. provides references to all sources in the section(s) dedicated to footnotes/citations according to the guide to layout:  
    b. provides in-line citations from reliable sources where necessary:  
    c. no original research:  
    assume good faith as the sources aren't accessible to me
  3. Is it broad in its coverage?
    a. it addresses the main aspects of the topic:  
    b. it remains focused and does not go into unnecessary detail (see summary style):  
  4. Does it follow the neutral point of view policy.
    fair representation without bias:  
  5. Is it stable?
    no edit wars, etc:  
  6. Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?
    a. images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:  
    b. images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:  
  7. Overall:
    Pass or Fail:  

Will place on hold while issues are addressed. MathewTownsend (talk) 20:43, 13 July 2012 (UTC)Reply
