Old comment[edit]

GodE: Littleton trained many wannabe glass artists. I think it would suffice to mention only 2 or 3 of the most famous ones.

GA Review[edit]

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

Unfortunately, this article does not meet the Good Article criteria at this time. Some of the issues include:

The lead is too short. With such a fairly lengthy article, please expand the paragraph of the lead, and perhaps even consider adding a second paragraph to the lead.
Consider adding an Infobox with {{Infobox Person}}.
A significant amount of information goes unsourced. Examples include the paragraphs that begin with the following sentences:
- "During summer break in 1942"
- "He finished his degree in industrial design in 1947"
- "Littleton’s production as a potter focused"
- "Littleton began his teaching career"
- "Littleton's artwork is in the collections of"
- "Married to Bess Tamura Littleton since 1947."
The article also needs to be copyedited. Issues include:
- The entire " Personal" section contains sentence fragments.

Once these issues have been resolved, feel free to return the article for a renomination. Gary King (talk) 16:24, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

GA Review[edit]

This review is transcluded from Talk:Harvey Littleton/GA2. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

Just two comments:

What is "filial piety"? Can that be changed to something easier to understand?
The lead could probably be split into two paragraphs for ease of reading.

Otherwise, everything looks perfect. Really interesting, well-written article. In my view all the issues from the previous review have been rectified. One thing I should note is that there shouldn't be a space between periods and references. I've fixed this, but you might like to remember in the future. I assume you'll clarify the little issue I've noted above, so I'll pass the article. Great work. Naerii 12:30, 22 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
