# Talk:Joseph F. Glidden House

I've passed this as a good article as the only isses seemed very minor - should be fixed eventually though. 

Usually it's not necessary for there to be references in the lead as it summarises the article. The first reference could be moved to the Exterior section and the second to the House section.
$2 million should be linked to the related currency (US Dollar)
some copyediting for conciseness - removing surplus words is usually an improvement to readability per my following poor examples:
The barn roof is a common gable roof pitched at a 45 degree angle, it was originally covered with wooden shingles, those have been replaced over the years with asphalt
-> The barn has a 45 degree pitch, common gable roof, originally covered with wood shingles now replaced with asphalt
As of 2006 extensive restoration work had been completed on the home. The front porch was repaired and restored and inside, the hardwood floors have been replaced and refinished. In addition, the front parlors have been repainted and restored
->By 2006 extensive restoration work had been completed, with the front porch repaired and restored , the hardwood floors replaced and refinished and the front parlors repainted and restored
The Glidden Barn, located to the rear and east of the home, was thought to have been added to the National Register of Historic Places when the original nomination for the house was approved in 1973. However, in the late 1990s, the Illinois Historic Preservation Agency revealed that the nomination included only the house.

Perhaps add a link to List of Registered Historic Places in Illinois in the see also section
Much as it may be difficult - a picture of the front with the sun better oriented would be great ( but hardly necessary ).

### GA Sweeps: Kept
As part of the WikiProject Good Articles, we're doing Sweeps to go over all of the current GAs and see if they still meet the GA criteria. I went through the article and made various changes, please look them over. I believe the article currently meets the criteria and should remain listed as a Good Article. Altogether the article is well-written and is still in great shape after its passing in 2007. Continue to improve the article making sure all new information is properly sourced and neutral. If you have any questions, let me know on my talk page and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. I have updated the article history to reflect this review. --Happy editing!
