GA Review[edit]

This review is transcluded from Talk:SS El Oriente/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

Hi! I will be reviewing this article for GA, and should have the review up within a couple of hours. Dana boomer (talk) 19:33, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

GA review (see here for criteria)

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose): b (MoS):
The last three paragraphs of the "World War I" section are fairly short. Can they be combined in any way?
How does it look now?

In the lead, you say the ship was built in 1910 twice.
I removed the second one.

In the "World War II" section, third paragraph, you say "often by performed by Soviet women and political prisoners". Should the first "by" be removed?
Yes it should :) , and now is removed.

In the "Red Cross ship" section, you have a set of refs out of numerical order.
Good catch. I think that was an artifact of the Did You Know? process.
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
In the "World War I" section, fourth paragraph, the last sentence needs a ref
Added.
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
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:

Another nice article. I'm putting it on hold to allow time to address the few concerns I detailed above. Dana boomer (talk) 19:52, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
