Talk:Pauline Robinson Bush/GA2

GA Review[edit]

This article fails its GA review. The nominator has not made a single edit to wikipedia in the last month (last one was to nominate) and thus has not addressed the issues raised. The review has been on hold for over a week. Sorry --DannyS712 (talk) 05:06, 13 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Notes[edit]

General
1. Should her mother be referred to as "Barbara" (first name basis)?
2. And father - George HW?
Lede
1. was the second child and eldest daughter of the rephrase
2. After she was born in California, her family soon relocated to Texas, where Robin lived most of her life. rephrase
3. As she was given very little time to live, her parents flew her to New York City for treatment, where she spent the next six months. rephrase
4. Despite doctors' efforts, she died two months before her fourth birthday. efforts to do what? her death was expected (see preceding text in the same paragraph
5. Her death prompted them to establish a foundation for leukemia research. who is them?
Life
1. Then an oil field equipment salesman for Dresser Industries, George H. W. Bush lived in various places around the United States with his wife, Barbara (née Pierce), and their young son, George W. when is then? rephrase this sentence. suggest striking ~~young~~ son
2. In 1949, they moved to Compton, California; by then, Barbara was pregnant with the couple's second child. rephrase - by then?
3. On September 23, 1949, Pauline Robinson Pierce, Barbara's mother, was killed in a car accident, which also injured her father, Marvin. Since she was very late into the pregnancy, Marvin advised Barbara not to make the journey to New York, so as not to hurt the baby. why is this needed? make it shorter
4. , so much so that, later in life, rephrase
5. having a "sweet soul". need a source for this specific quote
6. the family quickly became involved in their new town. why is this needed? eliminate
Illness & death
1. stating that she "may go out and lie on the grass and watch the cars go by" need a source for this specific quote
2. Barbara believed Robin had come down with what her mother had referred to as "spring fever", as, up until that point, she had been "as rowdy and healthy" as her brothers. rephrase, suggest splitting into 2 sentences
3. The child was taken to the family's pediatrician, Dorothy Wyvell, who took a blood sample and told Barbara to return later that afternoon with George H. W.; Barbara had not yet noticed the bruises on Robin.
  1. "the child" - name
  2. "George H. W.; Barbara" - confusing, suggest 2 sentences
  3. what bruises?
4. Her advice for them was to not tell anyone about the child's illness, and to take her home, "make life as easy as possible for her, and in three weeks' time, she'll be gone." Neither parent had ever heard of leukemia, and, in the 1950s, not much was known of it; consequently, it was nearly always fatal.
  1. Her - unclear pronoun
  2. "the child"
  3. split 1st sentence into 2
  4. 2nd (now 3rd) sentence should be rephrased
5. from the country club were what country club? wasn't explained earlier. Don't link country club to general definition, link to specific club...
