GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose, no copyvios, spelling and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

   Decent prose, no copyvios or close paraphrasing. Layout fine.--¿3family6 _contribs 20:23, 13 November 2014 (UTC)

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

   The Hotpads listing is no longer available. It just says "Darn. This listing is no longer available."--¿3family6 _contribs 20:23, 13 November 2014 (UTC) Other than that, the referencing is solid. I'm AGF accepting the first reference, which is a downloadable data file with NRHP codes. I'm assuming, again on good faith, that this is where the listing error noted in the lead is located.--¿3family6 _contribs 20:23, 13 November 2014 (UTC)

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

   Deals with major aspects, doesn't get side-tracked.--¿3family6 _contribs 20:23, 13 November 2014 (UTC)

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

   Neutral, encyclopedic tone.--¿3family6 _contribs 01:20, 13 November 2014 (UTC)

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

   Highly stable.--¿3family6 _contribs 01:20, 13 November 2014 (UTC)

6. It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

   Suitable captions, illustrate the subject, no copyvios.--¿3family6 _contribs 01:20, 13 November 2014 (UTC)

7. Overall: Just deadlink holding this up.--¿3family6 _contribs 20:23, 13 November 2014 (UTC)

Y Deadlink and minor grammatical error resolved.--¿3family6 _contribs 04:24, 14 November 2014 (UTC)

1. Pass/Fail:

@3family6: - I just removed it because even Archive.org messed up the image and data capture. The modern fixtures and such are not really important. I do not feel like putting "Land Records" as a source for someone to follow and it is really trivial for a historic home that the details inside be "updated" from time to time. The NRHP cares more about the structure. The problem with these listings from the NRHP is that the surveys done on the properties are really sparse in comparison because they are private residences that are in use. I live in a historic home and we can refuse examination at any time - our objection to NRHP alone would prevent listing. The acceptable public details on these properties is sparse, but the NRHP compiles the private records which I rather not list on Wikipedia (for obvious reasons). I keep watching to see if they are doing a historic house tour, but so far I'm out of luck unless I decide to rent it! ChrisGualtieri (talk) 20:53, 13 November 2014 (UTC)

Oh and as for the data surrounding the name, yeah the NRHP never fixed it, but the actual nomination and details (viewable in the link) all say John F. Adams. Lovely ain't it? Also, if you use the MPS sheet - it is page 61 on the online documentation and continuation sheet 57 otherwise. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 20:58, 13 November 2014 (UTC)

I've got to head to work now, I'll take a look at this when I get back. Thanks, --¿3family6 _contribs 21:01, 13 November 2014 (UTC)

Looks all set. It's fine if those details are omitted for lack of a decent source.--¿3family6 _contribs 04:24, 14 November 2014 (UTC)
