GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)
AgnosticPreachersKid, I've completed my comprehensive and thorough review of your article and I find that it meets Good Article criteria. Prior to its passage to GA status, I do have a few comments and suggestions that must first be addressed. Thank you for all your hard work and for your efforts on this article. -- Caponer (talk) 17:18, 22 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lead section, the lede of this article adequately defines the memorial, establishes the necessary context for the memorial, and explains why the memorial is notable.
The template is beautifully formatted, its contents are cited within the prose and by the references below, and its image is licensed CC BY-SA 3.0 and therefore eligible for inclusion in this article.
The lede is well-written, consists of content that is adequately sourced and verifiable, and I have no other comments or questions for this section.
History
In the first paragraph of the Background subsection, the sentence should begin "He succeeded in defeating..."
The image of George Gordon Meade, photographed by Mathew Brady, is released into the public domain and is therefore eligible for usage in this article.
The final sentence of the second paragraph of the Background subsection requires a period. Or were these paragraphs unintentionally separated?
The image of the dedication of the memorial in 1927 is released into the public domain and is free to use here.
The last sentence of the first paragraph of the Dedication subsection requires a period.
Otherwise, this section is well-written, consists of content that is adequately sourced and verifiable, and I have no other comments or questions for this section.
Design and location
The image of the sculpture is licensed CC0 and is therefore free to use in this article.
This section is well-written, consists of content that is adequately sourced and verifiable, and I have no comments or questions for this section.
