Reviewer: HueSatLum (talk · contribs) 02:49, 2 March 2013 (UTC) I will be happy to review this article. If you disagree with any of the changes suggested below, don't hesitate to tell me. HueSatLum 02:49, 2 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • If the "United States Bureau of the Mint" is the same as the United States Mint, it should be changed and linked.
  • "Oregon country" → "Oregon Country"
  • Link "British Foreign Minister"
  • "Depression" → "Great Depression"
  • "Mexican-American War" → "Mexican–American War" per MOS:DASH
  • "Panama-Pacific Exposition" → "Panama–Pacific Exposition" again per MOS:DASH
  • Capitalize "congressional"
  • Link "Panama Canal"
  • Link "monogram"
  • Link only the first mention of Bowers' name should be linked.
The United States Bureau of the Mint is what the present United States Mint was formally called until, I think, about 1990 (until 1873 it was formally the Mint of the United States). I can go with referring to it either way. I disagree on congressional; my understanding that the MOS thinks it should be lower case. Thank you for the review.Wehwalt (talk) 03:34, 2 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
OK, done those. I disagree on congressional, and I don't quite see where Bowers' name is linked multiple times in the text. I've also linked Panama Canal in a picture caption to avoid linking in a quotation, which is disfavored.Wehwalt (talk) 04:08, 2 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, it's not linked in the text, it's under "Other sources"; his name should not be linked for parts 36 and 37 of "Chapter 8: Silver commemoratives (and clad too)". Congressional and Panama Canal fine. HueSatLum 14:42, 2 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Fixed. I left one link there.--Wehwalt (talk) 15:15, 2 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  7. Overall:
    Pass/Fail:
    Although it isn't even a month old, it is a very informative article. Just one step away from a four award! HueSatLum 18:45, 2 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for all your help, and if you would like me to review an article for you, let me know on my talk. Yes, FA is the goal, as usual, but it's about third or fourth in line so it may not be until midyear.Wehwalt (talk) 20:50, 2 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

typo?

[edit]

To User:Wehwalt:

I'm translating this article to Chinese Wikipedia here, just finished, only one typo found: footnote NO. 19, "Garopalo", but I can only found "Garofalo, Michael (February 2015). "Hooray for Hollywood!". The Numismatist: 34–40." below, which one is correct? Garofalo or Garopalo? --Jarodalien (talk) 06:42, 24 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It's Garofalo. I double-checked the source. Thanks for pointing that out. Hope the article is useful.--Wehwalt (talk) 10:46, 24 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for follow up so soon. I have already translate more than 400 featured article to Chinese Wikipedia, this is the 25th which you contribute most, politics, law, music, money and architecture, such a wide coverage. You're really the wikipedian I admire most.--Jarodalien (talk) 11:50, 24 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for that, though I am not worthy.--Wehwalt (talk) 11:07, 25 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
