Checking against the GA criteria

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):

   "was a convicted counterfeiter whose death is closely tied to Old Newgate Prison after fatally falling during an escape attempt the night before the close of the prison" - sentence is quite choppy and could do with a split

   "Starkey was from Roxbury, Massachusetts" - shouldn't this be born?

   "but they were finally discovered the secret" - grammatically incorrect

   "Sheriff Johnson of Worcester" - can Worcester be linked?

   "In prison, Starkey was able to save up and set aside a good amount of money, but his good behavior" - however his good behavior

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

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

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

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):

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

I done some copyediting if that's OK. I noted a couple of prose issues above, but nothing serious enough for this to be put on hold. Article is a little short but acceptable for something as scarce as this. Sounds like the Shawshank Redemption! JAGUAR  20:13, 2 November 2015 (UTC)
