Photograph

A photograph shows loading sugar sacks in Hawaii, but the caption and text discusses a case involving sugar shipped from Java. The photo therefore seems to be unrelated. Kablammo (talk) 21:04, 11 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I will be reviewing this article for GA, and should have the full review up within a couple of hours. Dana boomer (talk) 20:18, 15 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

GA review (see here for criteria)

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose): b (MoS):
In the Arctic convoy section, you say "Her closest class occurred". I'm not sure what this is supposed to say, or I'd change it :)
I don't know what sort of brain lock-up occurred there. It should have said "her closest call occurred". Now fixed. — Bellhalla (talk) 20:59, 15 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I was pretty sure it was something like this, but I figured it was probably better that you made sure :) Dana boomer (talk) 21:00, 15 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
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):
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
It is stable.
No edit wars etc.:
It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Overall:
Pass/Fail:

Just one minor prose issue to be addressed before I pass this article for GA, so I'm putting it on hold. Drop me a note if you have any questions. Dana boomer (talk) 20:35, 15 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
