GA review (see here for criteria)
  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
    There were some very minor punctuation and other language issues, but I have fixed them. Aside from those, the article is well written and complies to WP:MOS requirements.
  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
    Article is properly referenced with reliable sources and has no original research.
  3. It is broad in its coverage.
    a (major aspects): b (focused):
    Article covers major aspects and is focused.
  4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.
    Fair representation without bias:
    Article complies to WP:NPOV.
  5. It is stable.
    No edit wars, etc.:
    Article is stable.
  6. 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):
    Pictures are properly tagged and has a suitable caption.
  7. Overall: This is a short but concise article on the subject, well researched and written. I am confident that it meets all the requirements for a GA, and am happy to pass it. Well done. – SMasters (talk) 16:31, 24 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    Pass/Fail:

Smithsonian

In the article titled 'Of GG1's, NJ Transit, Boeing 707's, and the media', author Don Wood said she was slated for the Smithsonian (Ultimately, of course, the 4876 ultimately never made it theren). This appeared on page 66 in the August 1984 issue of Trains Magazine, published by Kalmbach Publishing. Not sure how the whole Wikipedia reference thing works with the appropriate codes and such, so hopefully someone will toss in the appropriate reference for me since it's an interesting facet of her history that she nearly made it to the most important museum in this country (As did an example of the Alco PA, which also didn't quite make it there).
