GA Review[edit]

GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria


This article is in decent shape, but it needs more work before it becomes a Good Article.

  1. Is it well written?
    A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:
    In the History section, "In 2005", it would be best if a comma was placed after 2005. Same thing in the Facilities section, the first sentence.
    Check. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 01:37, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:
  2. Is it verifiable with no original research, as shown by a source spot-check?
    A. It contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline:
    B. Reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose):
    Does Reference 3 cover all this ---> "In 2005 Drexel University announced its plans to create a new law school adjacent to the Drexel University Main Campus W. W. Hagerty library in West Philadelphia. That same year Drexel received approval from the Pennsylvania Department of Education to start the school. The decision to launch a law school with cooperative education in a city with five other law schools was based on a demand for graduates with immediate experience, with the president of Drexel University, Constantine Papadakis, saying that employers "like to hire a graduate and have them immediately be useful"?

    C. It contains no original research:
    D. It contains no copyright violations nor plagiarism:
  3. Is it broad in its coverage?
    A. It addresses the main aspects of the topic:
    B. It stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style):
  4. Is it neutral?
    It represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each:
    In the History section, this ---> "The anticipated class size...", sounds like POV.
    It works fine and check. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 01:37, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  5. Is it stable?
    It does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute:
  6. Is it illustrated, if possible, by images?
    A. Images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content:
    B. Images are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions:
  7. Overall:
    Pass or Fail:
    If the above statements can be answered, I will pass the article. Good luck with improving this article!

Response:

  1. I've added the indicated commas.
  2. I've also cited another reference to (hopefully) clarify the 'founding' part from the 'why this school is needed' part.
  3. I've tried to reword this so it doesn't sound so POV'ish, I'm not sure if I've succeeded. --ImmortalGoddezz (t/c) 23:12, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thank you to ImmortalGoddezz for getting the stuff I left at the talk page, because I have gone off and placed the article as GA. Congrats. ;) --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 01:37, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
And thank you for passing it so quickly! I had imagined that it would have taken a couple of days for another follow-up at least. --ImmortalGoddezz (t/c) 04:47, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
You are quite welcome. No, when I review articles, I pass them the same day that I review them. ;) --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 03:54, 2 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
