Reviewer: Parsecboy (talk) 20:05, 26 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

GA review (see here for criteria)

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose): b (MoS):
~~I'm assuming that the Villa de Madrid is a passenger ship of some sort, but can you clarify please?~~

"Rothenberg completed with a bachelor's degree from" doesn't sound right to me. Maybe graduated or something similar instead of completed (or, this could just be a phrase I don't run into writing my Kaiserliche Marine articles ;)
fixed.

~~You should specify what his muzzle-loaders were. Many people would probably know what you're talking about, but many would not.~~

~~I believe keynote is one word (the last paragraph in the Education & Career section).~~
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
~~This edit by another editor needs to be either sourced or removed (more than likely just reverted, given the peacock-ery going on there).~~
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
See the diff linked above.
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):
Are there no pictures available? Since he passed away in 2004, a copyrighted photo of him would qualify for Fair Use. If you can't find a photo, that's no big deal though.
Overall:
Pass/Fail:
Excellent work on this article, Ruth. There are just a few things that need to be ironed out before I'll pass the article for GA. Parsecboy (talk) 20:05, 26 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
