Sorry for the long wait in the GAN queue! I'll be able to get through this in the next couple of days. I hope all is well. Ajpolino (talk) 03:15, 30 July 2020 (UTC)

Phew, sorry. Life took a busy turn after I opened this page. I've got a bit more time now, so hopefully you'll have my mostly uninterrupted attention. Adding my comments now; the article is generally in good shape, just a few minor things. Thanks! Ajpolino (talk) 16:36, 8 August 2020 (UTC)
That was an easy read. Excellent work! I had one small prose comment, but it's nothing to hold up the review over. If you're interested, Blue_baby_syndrome#History mentions the Blalock–Taussig shunt but not the Potts shunt. Perhaps that should be remedied? I'll let you know if I have any luck procuring a picture. Otherwise, nice work! Sorry again for the long GAN wait. All the best, Ajpolino (talk) 17:52, 8 August 2020 (UTC)

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)
1. It is reasonably well written.

a (prose, spelling, and grammar):  b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists): 

Medical career>Beginnings - In 1925, Potts, who was by then married with two children... any particular reason for mentioning his marriage/children status here? It feels like an odd aside in a sentence about opening a medical practice. I'd suggest either cutting it (you already mention it in Personal life), or giving it a sentence of its own.

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

a (reference section):  b (citations to reliable sources):  c (OR):  d (copyvio and plagiarism): 

I spot-checked a few of the sources; everything looks good to me.

3. It is broad in its coverage.

a (major aspects):  b (focused): 

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

Fair representation without bias: 

5. It is stable.

No edit wars, etc.: 

6. It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.

a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales):  b (appropriate use with suitable captions): 

It's too bad to have to use a non-free image. If Rush had a 1924 yearbook (public domain!) they haven't digitized it. I've reached out to the Northwestern University Library/Archives to see if they have a faculty photo they'd be willing to release. Maybe I'll reach out to Rush and some other institutions as well. I'll let you know if I have any luck on that front.

Overall: 

Pass/Fail:
