GA Review[edit]

  • Either expand the paragraphs in the lead or merge them so there are two paragraphs, because they are very short right now.

  • "The sugar refinery in question was" → "The sugar refinery was"

  • "it was the town of 3,500's main employer prior to the disaster." – really needs to be reworded, as it isn't immediately obvious that "town of 3,500" is a phrase on its own

  • When you use measurements, like in "160 acre site and was spread across 872,000 square feet", use the {{convert}} template so that alt. measurements are shown.
 Done Except for hundredweight, two reasons: 1) I don't know if the source meant short or long cwt, and 2) in any event, the template doesn't seem to support it properly, as Template:Convert/list of units/mass lists them, but doesn't suggest anything that it can be converted to.

  • "Explosion and emergency response" is made up of far too many small paragraphs; I recommend improving the flow and expanding or merging paragraphs appropriately.
 Done I think, I have tried to restructure but let me know if more is needed. Blood Red Sandman (Talk) (Contribs) 10:48, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There are some short paragraphs in " Aftermath". Perhaps they can be merged? For instance, "Port Wentworth saw an" and "In the first quarter of 2008" both discuss economics issues; they could be merged, perhaps. Gary King (talk) 19:05, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Again, I have restructured the section. I tried to group like topics together - demolition/reconstruction, economics and legal work. The exception was the emergency shutdown and fine; I stuck that with the first lot. Look OK? Blood Red Sandman (Talk) (Contribs) 21:19, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This article reaches GA criteria and has therefore been passed. Gary King (talk) 21:21, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
