Dartmouth College[edit]

Notified: Kane5187, ElKevbo, Esrever, Contributor321, Hal333, WP New Hampshire, WP Dartmouth, WP Higher Education, talk page notice 2020-11-30

Review section[edit]

This is a 2007 FA that has not been maintained to FA standards, and that has not been improved since the talk page notice six months ago. Issues include poor image layout, out of control galleries, listiness and single-sentence paragraphs, citation overkill, incomplete citations, dated information, uncited text, inadequate use of summary style (especially noticeable in the alumni section), and the lead reads as promotional rather than a summary of the article.

Comments from HAL333

  • Images lack alt text.
  • The largest problem is the near complete reliance on primary sources published by Dartmouth.
  • Most, if not all, of the citations in the lede should be removed per WP:LEADCITE.

Those are the most glaring big picture issues I see. ~ HAL333 21:34, 25 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
