I shall be reviewing this article against the Good Article criteria, following its nomination for Good Article status.
Disambiguations: none found. Jezhotwells (talk) 00:52, 26 September 2010 (UTC)
Linkrot: three found and fixed. Jezhotwells (talk) 00:52, 26 September 2010 (UTC)
Checking against GA criteria
[edit]- It is reasonably well written.
- a (prose):
b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
- The Lead does not fully summarize the article. No mention of the archaelogical investigations and the impact on conso purchasers; origins as a plantation. The lead should be an executive style summary of the whole article, see WP:LEAD.
- a (prose):
- I've expanded the lead and added information on the plantation's history and the information regarding the archaeological excavation. -- Caponer (talk) 17:23, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
- Events: Lists should be turned into prose.
- It is factually accurate and verifiable.
- a (references):
b (citations to reliable sources):
c (OR):
- Please check ref#3 which I repaired manually. It may not reference both the Mason family members correctly.
- a (references):
- I've removed this reference and replaced it with references that address all the Mason family members indicated in the prose. -- Caponer (talk) 17:23, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
- Ideally, titles of cites should not be capitalized, but this is not a GA requirement.
- I've corrected this. -- Caponer (talk) 17:23, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
- It is broad in its coverage.
- a (major aspects):
b (focused):
- This article needs details of the structure, a plan would be good, details of number of rooms, etc.
- a (major aspects):
- This has been addressed in the architecture section. -- Caponer (talk) 17:23, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
- It follows the neutral point of view policy.
- Fair representation without bias:
- Fair representation without bias:

- No edit wars, etc.:
- 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):
- Are no pictures of the relocated mansion available?
- a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales):
- Unfortunately, there are no free images of Colross available. I will work to locate and incorporate one. -- Caponer (talk) 17:23, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
