Checking against GA criteria
edit- It is reasonably well written.
- a (prose):
b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
- In 1829, the legislature appointed commissioners to locate a canal and layout the surrounding town Which legislature is that?
- Clarified.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 01:22, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
- Wolf Point monicker monicker is slang, not encyclopaedic.
- Rephrased.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 01:25, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
- I made one minor copy-edit.[2]
- The confluence of the three branches of the river near Wolf Point provided inspiration for Chicago's three branched, Y-shaped "municipal device," which can be seen on many buildings and structures in Chicago is not covered in the main body of the article. See WP:LEAD.
- Moved to main body.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 01:24, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
- In 1829, the legislature appointed commissioners to locate a canal and layout the surrounding town Which legislature is that?
- a (prose):
- It is factually accurate and verifiable.
- a (references):
b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
- One dead link, ref #3.{http://chicago.cbslocal.com/local/Kennedy.family.Wolf.2.338690.html}
- Otherwise references check out
- a (references):
- It is broad in its coverage.
- a (major aspects): b (focused):
- This is very cursory, I would expect to see detail of the development of the area, the history section jumps from the early 19th century to the 20th century with no detail between. What congressional districts, and local electoral districts cover the area? This is very incomplete.
- The article already had the three United States Census based Community areas of Chicago, but I added Illinois's 7th congressional district.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 01:40, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
- This is very cursory, I would expect to see detail of the development of the area, the history section jumps from the early 19th century to the 20th century with no detail between. What congressional districts, and local electoral districts cover the area? This is very incomplete.
- a (major aspects):
- It follows the neutral point of view policy.
- Fair representation without bias:
- Fair representation without bias:
- It is stable.
- No edit wars, etc.:
- No edit wars, etc.:
- It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
- a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
- In the Provenance section, the text is awkwardly sandwiched between images.
- a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales):
- Overall:
- Pass/Fail:
- This is a long way from good article status. It verges on shoddy work. I would expect to see a more thorough coverage of the history of the area and its buildings, and better informatuion about what it is like today. Fail GA status. Jezhotwells (talk) 20:12, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
- Pass/Fail:
