# Talk:Washington Park Subdivision

This article has failed its GAC nomination as it does not meet all of the GA criteria. The article has only a few sources and needs further expansion to reach GA. Consider getting a peer review to see what other information should be included or research further information for the article. Keep up the good work and try again later. --Nehrams2020 19:22, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Initial review by Drilnoth (talk · contribs)
It is reasonably well written.
a (prose):  b (MoS): 
The prose needs a good copyedit... I made a few changes, but quite a bit of it is just kind of unclear or the sentence structure is awkward. I'd recommend either going through it line-by-line or making a request at WP:GOCE.
I just did a once over.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM)  03:35, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (references):  b (citations to reliable sources):  c (OR): 
I'm concerned about the reliability of [1]. It looks like an encyclopedia... a tertiary source, and generally discouraged. If you can find better citations for those points, that would be great.  Done
The Encyclopedia of Chicago is an extremely well-accepted source here on WP.   Prairie Avenue and  South Side (Chicago) both rely heavily on it.  I have dozens of GAs that rely on it.  It has never even been questioned before.  Instead of having a few authors and editors each article is compiled by the specialist on that topic.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM)  03:02, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
Okay; sounds good. I just hadn't heard of it before and it had "Encyclopedia" in the name, so I just wondered about reliability. Anyway, consider this resolved. :) -Drilnoth (talk) 03:06, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects):  b (focused): 
It seems focused mostly on pre 1948. Washington Park has history 1948 to now.  The 60s produced notable activists and leaders through churches and TWO (which is where I had contact). Maybe the title could have added  "the Early Years" or similar to accurately describe the scope of the article.  I'd love to see a follow on article that describes it when I've known it.
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias: 

It is stable.
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): 

Overall:
Pass/Fail: 
I'm putting this review on hold for seven days for copyediting. Overall, I found the article to be nicely written and comprehensive, with good sourcing.
I'm passing this now; the copyedit resolved most of my concerns. Good work, and I hope all goes well on the Good topic! -Drilnoth (talk) 03:44, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
