I propose to review this article which I see has been waiting for nine months since being nominated. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:50, 22 May 2019 (UTC)

First reading

• My first impression is of a well-organised, well-written article.
• The second paragraph of the History section has no references.
• This is also true of the latter parts of the third and fifth paragraphs.
• There is further uncited information in later paragraphs. You wrote the article and must have got the information from somewhere.
• What is a GPA?
• Apart from the referencing, the prose is excellent and I am satisfied that the article meets the GA criteria in other respects. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 11:29, 22 May 2019 (UTC)

Thank you for your review, it’s been a long wait! I will address the unsourced material you’ve pointed out. The vast majority of the history information comes from the book by Michael J. Budds, so I will add more inline citations. “GPA” stands for Grade Point Average; it is widely used in the America school system. Would linking GPA to Grading in education be sufficient?

That should be fine. Let me know when you are ready or me to take another look. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 17:12, 22 May 2019 (UTC)

@Cwmhiraeth Ok. I've added a significant number of citations and made some other updates and tweaks. Grey Wanderer (talk) 01:49, 27 May 2019 (UTC)

Conclusion

I am satisfied with the additional citations and the alterations you have made and believe the article meets the GA criteria. Where you have multiple citations to different pages of the same source, you could use short citations to avoid clutter in the reference section, but making that change is optional. Passing this now.
