Starting review

I'll do this one. Will start soon. Jack | talk page 12:04, 20 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

@BlackJack: I think it'd be best to start with this one, if you will. Of the three it's the one I feel most satisfied with. Lizard (talk) 04:44, 30 November 2016 (UTC)Reply
@Lizard the Wizard: Okay, I'll do McElhenny next, before Johnson. I've done Perry subject to one citation. Sorry, I've been short of time in the last week or so but I will get to them all. Thanks again. Jack | talk page 09:34, 30 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

Full review criteria checks

edit

GA review – see WP:WIAGA for the six good article criteria:

  1. Is it reasonably well written?
    A. Prose is clear and concise, without copyvios, or spelling and grammar errors:  
    B. MoS compliance for lead, layout, words to watch, fiction, and embedded lists:   see below
  2. Is it factually accurate and verifiable with no original research?
    A. Has an appropriate reference section:  
    B. Inline citations to reliable sources where necessary (e.g., direct quotations):  
    C. No original research:  
    D. No copyright violations:  
  3. Is it broad in its coverage?
    A. Scope:  
    B. Length:  
  4. Is it neutral?
    Fair representation without bias:  
  5. Is it stable?
    No edit wars, etc:  
  6. Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?
    A. Images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid fair use rationales are provided for non-free content:  
    B. Images are provided if possible and are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions:  

The main part of the article is fine but I believe some work needs to be done on the introduction. With reference to WP:LEAD, it should really be "three to four paragraphs" (given that the article is 30k-plus) and I think it isn't quite a fully concise summary of the narrative. I'll leave it with you as you know the subject and I don't. Please let me know when you've had chance to consider. Placing "on hold" for now. Good work overall, though, and a very interesting article. He must have been quite a player. All the best. Jack | talk page 12:52, 3 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

@BlackJack: I think it should suffice now. Lizard (talk) 20:06, 3 December 2016 (UTC)Reply
@Lizard the Wizard: Sorry, I read the article again first thing this morning but had to go out and then forgot all about it! It's very good now and I am completely satisfied. Excellent work which deservedly rates GA. Well done. I'll look at John Henry Johnson in a few days, if that's okay. Jack | talk page 13:24, 4 December 2016 (UTC)Reply
