GA Review

Article (edit | visual edit | history) · Article talk (edit | history) · Watch
Hi there, I am happy to tell you that this article has passed GA without the need for any further improvement. Listed below is information on how the article fared against the Wikipedia:good article criteria, with suggestions for future development. These are not required to achieve GA standard, but they might help in future A-class or FAC review process.

• It is reasonably well written.

  a (prose): b (MoS):

• "he spent time recuperating, and required plastic surgery" - these clauses seem to be the wrong way round, and the "he spent time recuperating" is slightly oddly phrased - any idea how much time?
• "Captain Hippolyte De La Rue" and "General Douglas Macarthur" - Don't link the rank as well as the name.

• It is factually accurate and verifiable.

  a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

• It is broad in its coverage.

  a (major aspects): b (focused):

• "a total of ten victories including one brought down in Palestine" - I'd mention the Palestine victory in the section that describes his operations in Palestine, and I'd be interested to see more information about his kills (I know there is some more below, but it seems like it would be worth giving some extra details.)

• It follows the neutral point of view policy.

  a (fair representation): b (all significant views):

• It is stable.

  

• It contains images, where possible, to illustrate the topic.

  a (tagged and captioned): b (lack of images does not in itself exclude GA): c (non-free images have fair use rationales):

• Overall:

  a Pass/Fail:

Thankyou and congratulations, an excellent addition to Wikipedia:Good Articles. All the best.--Jackyd101 (talk) 23:28, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
