GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

  1. Is it reasonably well written?
    A. Prose quality:
    B. MoS compliance for lead, layout, words to watch, fiction, and lists:
  2. Is it factually accurate and verifiable?
    A. References to sources:
    B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:
    C. No original research:
  3. Is it broad in its coverage?
    A. Major aspects:
    What's a truss of material? I gather that he had no children and abandoned his wife when he moved to Broken Hill?
    Have replaced truss with bale (truss was the word in the source but I think bale is more understandable). None of the sources I have been able to find say so categorically regarding family. No wife is mentioned in the passages I have seen about Broken Hill, which I think is telling, as sources written by whites of Clark's day would certainly have mentioned a wife with black skin. There is an account I saw somewhere (I forget where exactly) of a woman living in the ruins of Algoa some years later claiming to be his daughter, but apart from that nothing. If you like I can try to find the story I just mentioned and integrate it somehow but apart from that I don't have anything. Thanks for the review thus far. Sorry for taking a while to reply but I am very busy at the moment with work. Cliftonian (talk) 17:49, 2 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
