I shall be reviewing this article against the Good Article criteria, following its nomination for Good Article status.

Checking against GA criteria

[edit]
GA review (see here for criteria)
  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose): b (MoS):
    The Lead does not meet the guidelines of WP:LEAD - The lead section should briefly summarize the most important points covered in an article in such a way that it can stand on its own as a concise version of the article. ' Done
    There are a large number of red links. If no one is going to write these articles, perhaps they should be de-wikified. Optional
  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
    There is nothing in ref #6 [1], to support the statement ... built himself the first television set in the state of Georgia
    ref #12 needs page numbers
    All other online sources check out
  3. It is broad in its coverage.
    a (major aspects): b (focused):
    There is nothing about the subject's origins, place and date of birth, upbringing before Georgia Tech. Have no biographies been published? Is there no US Census data available?
  4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.
    Fair representation without bias:
  5. It is stable.
    No edit wars, etc.:
  6. 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):
  7. Overall:
    Pass/Fail:
    ON hold for seven days for the concerns above to be addressed. –– Jezhotwells (talk) 15:35, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    OK, I fixed the book refs as per Wikilinks to full references. Check that out for future reference.
Thanks for reviewing the article. I found the ref for the first television bit, it's in http://www.gtri.gatech.edu/gtri75/history-makers/glen-p-robinson-jr . —Disavian (talk/contribs) 00:32, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I checked that out - as it is a self published source you need to say that he claims to have built –– Jezhotwells (talk) 01:49, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Okay. Added page numbers for that one ref in html comments; greatly expanded the lead; and added the "claims to have built." As for the birth/origins/upbringing, I haven't found any such information, and I wouldn't know where to look in the census. —Disavian (talk/contribs) 02:22, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
OK, if that info can't be found then we can't put it in. I am happy to pass this as a good article. –– Jezhotwells (talk) 14:37, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
