GA Sweeps: On hold

As part of the WikiProject Good Articles, we're doing Sweeps to determine if the article should remain a Good article. I went through the article and made various changes, please look them over. I believe the article currently meets the majority of the criteria and should remain listed as a GA. However, in reviewing the article, I have found there are several issues that needs to be addressed.

1. The lead mentions "forever open, clear and free". If this is a quote, it needs a source. Also, anything in the lead should be mentioned within the article as well. A few more sentences in the lead would be beneficial to cover more of the details of the article.

   I copied some text I have added to other related articles. It should be O.K. now.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 14:55, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

2. This isn't necessary for GA, but I tagged multiple free images to be moved to Wikimedia Commons. If you have an account there, consider moving the images over so other language Wikipedias can benefit from them.

   I am not an image guy.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 04:45, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

3. Is the work in the "Morgan Shoal" section already concluded or is it still ongoing. Add some dates (as well as any updates) to clarify for readers.

   Oddly, the only date I can find is the date the plan was first adopted by the park district. I do not know if it is complete.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 14:27, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

   Found some information suggesting it is still in progress.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 14:30, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

4. Some of the citations only include a title and access date. Citations should also include author, date, publisher, etc. Consider using the citation templates at WP:CITET to assist with formatting.

   I did what I could.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 04:45, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

I will leave the article on hold for seven days, but if progress is being made and an extension is needed, one may be given. If no progress is made, the article may be delisted, which can then later be renominated at WP:GAN. I'll contact all of the main contributors and related WikiProjects so the workload can be shared. If you have any questions, let me know on my talk page and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 (talk • contrib) 02:56, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

GA Sweeps: Kept

Good work addressing the issues. I believe the article currently meets the criteria and should remain listed as a Good Article. I went through the article and made a few more changes, please review them. Continue to improve the article making sure all new information is properly sourced and neutral. It would also be beneficial to update the access dates for all of the online sources. If you have any questions, let me know on my talk page and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. I have updated the article history to reflect this review. --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 (talk • contrib) 02:19, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
