Talk:William Mahone

message: Members of the Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles are in the process of doing a re-review of current Good Article listings to ensure compliance with the standards of the Good Article Criteria. (Discussion of the changes and re-review can be found here). A significant change to the GA criteria is the mandatory use of some sort of in-line citation (In accordance to WP:CITE) to be used in order for an article to pass the verification and reference criteria. Currently this article does not include in-line citations. It is recommended that the article's editors take a look at the inclusion of in-line citations as well as how the article stacks up against the rest of the Good Article criteria. GA reviewers will give you at least a week's time from the date of this notice to work on the in-line citations before doing a full re-review and deciding if the article still merits being considered a Good Article or would need to be de-listed. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us on the Good Article project talk page or you may contact me personally. On behalf of the Good Articles Project, I want to thank you for all the time and effort that you have put into working on this article and improving the overall quality of the Wikipedia project.

thread_title:  GA Re-Review and In-line citations 

message: The link to "corduroy" in "Civil Engineer, Railroad Builder, Family" section links to fabric, not road type as it appears it should. As a non-registered user, albeit frequent reader, I have no idea how to fix it or if I should be the one to do so! Can someone please fix the link? Thanks!
: Fixed. Thank you for noticing. Hal Jespersen 01:39, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Link to wrong dis-ambiguation 

message: We don't need a category for this, but I was curious if anyone knew whether or not he was one of the (if not the only) former general officer in the Confederacy to turn to politics as a Republican - likely as a result of the whole Readjuster party outcome.  Worth adding to the article if my assumption is correct, but if an expert knows that'd be great.  Old64mb 07:14, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

===GA Sweeps: Delisted===
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 believe the article currently has multiple issues that need to be addressed, and as a result, I have delisted the article. Although several references are listed, there are no inline citations for any of the article's content which is required under the criteria. Add additional citations from a variety of sources to provide a balanced representation of the information present. Perhaps sources can be pulled from the main articles linked to within the article. Look to books, magazines, newspaper articles, other websites, etc. The lead also needs to be expanded to better summarize the article. See WP:LEAD for guidelines. As a side note, I tagged multiple images for moving over to Wikimedia Commons, so if you have an account there, consider moving them over so other language Wikipedias can use them. Although the article has been delisted, the article can be return to GA status by addressing the above points. Once sources are added and cleanup is done, I recommend renominating the article at WP:GAN or you can contact me on my talk page and I'll review it for you so you can bypass the month-long backlog. If you need assistance with any of these issues, please contact me on my talk page and I'll do my best to help you out. --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 (talk • contrib) 01:40, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
