I'll review this. BeanieFan11 (talk) 01:51, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Nice work. Some minor issues. First, should the hook specify that it is the first racially integrated public housing development to match what the sources say? Also, in J. Lister Holmes, I read In 1940, he was tasked by the Seattle Housing Authority to serve as the chief architect of the Yesler Terrace development, the first public housing development in the United States. That doesn't sound right, given that the hook is referring to it as the first racially-integrated one? Clear these two things up and it should be good to go.

@BeanieFan11: oops! Thank you for catching the typo on Holmes and good fix with the hook. Corrected on both counts. Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 16:16, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Image review

File:George W. Stoddard.jpg has a valid FU rationale and is of small enough size.
File:Leon H. Brigham Field (2891579174).jpg looks good.
File:Naval Air Cadet Choir at Aqua Theatre, August 2, 1954 - DPLA - 6b3b09aa6a540c446924cbdf16712885.jpg - Licensing is good, but a crop would benefit. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 01:23, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Cropped. - G

Prose and comprehensiveness review

How long was he censured?
- None of the sources say, sadly. -G
Perhaps a bit on Moderne and modernism would help appreciate what we're looking at.
- Added some context. - G
PCAD mentions that he had a brother, and that he married Majorie C. Stoddard.
- Added. I couldn't find a way to mention his marriage since there's no date given, so I just threw it into the infobox with a cite. - G
Haven't found anything online that could add to this.
I made some edits; please review. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 01:23, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Looks good to me. - G

Source review

Mostly supported. However, PCAD mentions that the firm was simply George Stoddard, Architect, until the mid-1940s; it only became George Wellington Stoddard and Associates after WWII. —
- Corrected this by just removing the name of the firm; I feel it isn't really needed, as it contains his full name. - G
