Infobox and persondata

One thing - the article needs infobox and persondata - See Biography infoboxes and WP:PERSONDATA. RHB ^{Talk - Edits} 23:03, 13 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If someone wants to work up that box, I'm ok with it. However, I personally hate those infoboxes and have no desire to create one myself. Best,--Alabamaboy 14:54, 15 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Passed as Good Article

Nothing much to say... well-writed, adequetely sources, and seems to fully cover the subject without going into unnecessary detail. A fine article. --JerryOrr 01:54, 15 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

GA sweeps

This article has been reviewed as part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/Project quality task force in an effort to ensure all listed Good articles continue to meet the Good article criteria. In reviewing the article, I have found there are some issues that may need to be addressed, listed below. I will check back in seven days. If these issues are addressed, the article will remain listed as a Good article. Otherwise, it may be delisted (such a decision may be challenged through WP:GAR). If improved after it has been delisted, it may be nominated at WP:GAN. Feel free to drop a message on my talk page if you have any questions, and many thanks for all the hard work that has gone into this article thus far.

GA review (see here for criteria)

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose): b (MoS):
The refs are a bit of a mess. Barnard's book has no page numbers. There is no need to repeat Hatch, pp. 203-4 in full four times. Since there is a list of sources, short refs might have been used just as easily. The naked URLs should be substituted with titles instead.

These issues have been corrected.--SouthernNights (talk) 02:25, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
There are a couple of parts that could still need refs, they've been marked off.

These issues have been corrected.--SouthernNights (talk) 02:25, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
It's short, but the subject is relatively peripheral, so that's fine.
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:

Deleted reference saying that Kellogg was one of the first men killed in the battle. The first deaths came during Reno's charge. Kellogg's death took place towards the end of the battle. In addition to being well-documented such an assertion is in opposition to this article's own information placing Kellogg's body near the deep ravine with E company, which definitely took place after Reno's charge. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2604:6000:E48B:B600:70BB:C242:2E5D:AF9A (talk) 05:27, 11 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

All the issues raised in this sweep have been addressed.--SouthernNights (talk) 02:25, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The article currently meets the criteria and should remain listed as a Good article. The article history has been updated to reflect this review. Good job! Lampman (talk) 20:56, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Citizenship

Seems Canadian, or at least Canadian-American. Also Ontario didn't exist until after his death, so we can't really say he was born in Ontario, despite this error being restated in multiple sources.

I know that dmacks of original research, but it's actually just basic math and facts. 135.23.69.5 (talk) 16:38, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

GA concerns

I am concerned that this article no longer meets the good article criteria. Some of my concerns are listed below:

The article is quite short, with several sources listed in the "Further reading" section. I am not sure that all major aspects of this biography are covered in this article.
The article contains uncited statements.
The lead is quite short and does not cover all major aspects of the article.

Is anyone willing to address the above concerns, or should this go to WP:GAR? Z1720 (talk) 22:16, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
