GA review[edit]

This article is very well written and well referenced. Good organization of subcategories. It could use some photos to help clarify things, and I think the 'related fora' section could be expanded. But these are fairly minor and I don't think worthy of holding up GA status. Cheers! Dr. Cash 19:50, 28 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I will get photos soon. It is raining today or I would take some. I may take some tomorrow. I am just worried my photos may be a bit dreary because of the weather. Maybe I will wait for a good spring day. TonyTheTiger (talk/cont/bio) 20:08, 28 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

As a former Chicagoan, the part in the overall summary about the (seemingly initial) location of the park on the Near North Side at 901 N. Clark St is confusing. It uses the past tense which seems to indicate that the park no resides elsewhere (it certainly isn't currently on the Near North Side), but it doesn't specify that the park moved. Someone with more experience with Wikipedia, please correct the ambiguity.LandSurveyorV (talk) 23:30, 18 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

GA Reassessment[edit]

This discussion is transcluded from Talk:Washington Square Park (Chicago)/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the reassessment.

GA Sweeps: Kept[edit]

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 went through the article and made various changes, please look them over. I believe the article currently meets the criteria and should remain listed as a Good Article. Altogether the article is well-written and is still in great shape after its passing in 2007. I tagged one of the images to be moved to Wikimedia Commons. Continue to improve the article making sure all new information is properly sourced and neutral. It would be beneficial to update the access dates for all of the sources. If you have any questions, let me know on my talk page and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. I have updated the article history to reflect this review. --Happy editing!
