AgnosticPreachersKid, I've completed my comprehensive and thorough review of your article and I find that it meets Good Article criteria. Prior to its passage to GA status, I do have a few comments and suggestions that must first be addressed. Thank you for all your hard work and for your efforts on this article. -- Caponer (talk) 17:18, 22 February 2015 (UTC)

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

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 and other media, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

Lede

• Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lead section, the lede of this article adequately defines the memorial, establishes the necessary context for the memorial, and explains why the memorial is notable.
• The template is beautifully formatted, its contents are cited within the prose and by the references below, and its image is licensed CC BY-SA 3.0 and therefore eligible for inclusion in this article.
• The lede is well-written, consists of content that is adequately sourced and verifiable, and I have no other comments or questions for this section.

History

• In the first paragraph of the Background subsection, the sentence should begin "He succeeded in defeating..."
• The image of George Gordon Meade, photographed by Mathew Brady, is released into the public domain and is therefore eligible for usage in this article.
• The final sentence of the second paragraph of the Background subsection requires a period. Or were these paragraphs unintentionally separated?
• The image of the dedication of the memorial in 1927 is released into the public domain and is free to use here.
• The last sentence of the first paragraph of the Dedication subsection requires a period.
• Otherwise, this section is well-written, consists of content that is adequately sourced and verifiable, and I have no other comments or questions for this section.

Design and location

• The image of the sculpture is licensed CC0 and is therefore free to use in this article.
• This section is well-written, consists of content that is adequately sourced and verifiable, and I have no comments or questions for this section.
