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):

Again, prose is about a 6/10. Its readable, but not particularly fluid and would need some revision before attempting FAC.

• 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):

One question that springs to mind is whether there was and backlash or criticism of Rodger's for murdering his prisoners: if they were "Indians" then I'd assume not, but if they were French then I'd expect there to be some form of protest.

They were probably Frenchmen (since it was a supply run, not something I would think Indians to have done). I don't recall seeing anything about protests concerning those sorts of killings; it may even have been somewhat typical of this sort of irregular frontier warfare.

• 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) 20:19, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
