GA Review[edit]

This review is transcluded from Talk:Battle of White Marsh/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

Reviewer: Magic♪piano 13:52, 28 January 2010 (UTC) GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria[reply]

  1. Is it reasonably well written?
    A. Prose quality:
    B. MoS compliance:
  2. Is it factually accurate and verifiable?
    A. References to sources:
    B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:
    Inconsistency in British troop strength (infobox:14,000 vs. article text:10,000); one uncited paragraph.
    C. No original research:
  3. Is it broad in its coverage?
    A. Major aspects:
    I'd like to see a little more background; three sentences or so on why and how Howe got to Philadelphia.
    B. Focused:
  4. Is it neutral?
    Fair representation without bias:
    I get a sense that American units involved are identified more completely than British units. I realize this is somewhat complicated when light infantry units from different regiments are brigaded together. But if we know e.g. what troops (by regiment) Robert Abercromby was leading, they should be identified. The identification is generally good enough that I wouldn't stop a GA on this count.
  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:
    Images needing description updates: File:Emlen house.jpg (needs a date of creation/publication), File:Battle of whitemarsh map.jpg (should have {{Information}} template), File:PA-MONTCO-FTWASHINGTON-WISSAHICKON.JPG (info was mangled when copied to Commons)
    B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:
    The end of the article could use an image (perhaps moving the Wissahickon Creek image down there, or providing another).
  7. Overall:
    Pass or Fail:
    Overall very good, but a few relatively modest issues to address. GA is on hold. Magic♪piano 15:24, 28 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Since it has been more than two weeks since my review, and most of the issues I raised have not been addressed, I am closing this review. Article is not promoted to GA. Magic♪piano 00:45, 15 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Reviewer: Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 03:09, 27 October 2010 (UTC) GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria[reply]

  1. Is it reasonably well written?
    A. Prose quality:
    B. MoS compliance for lead, layout, words to watch, fiction, and lists:
  2. Is it factually accurate and verifiable?
    A. References to sources:
    B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:
    C. No original research:
  3. Is it broad in its coverage?
    A. Major aspects:
    B. Focused:
    You mention Light Infantry battalions and such. If these were were brigaded together from the light companies of different battalions, please say so in a note. Also, without a designation they should not be capitalized.
  4. Is it neutral?
    Fair representation without bias:
  5. Is it stable?
    Noedit 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:

I'll review this tomorrow.

Capitalization fixed. I hadn't noticed anything in the sources that said that about the infantry battalions. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 14:36, 28 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Curious omission since I'm not aware that the Brits had any light infantry regiments organized this early. But if it's not mentioned in your sources that's fine.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 15:48, 28 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
