Talk:George H. D. Gossip/GA1

GA Review

Article (edit | visual edit | history) · Article talk (edit | history) · Watch
This is probably the best Wikipedia entry about any chess master, and is certainly the best one which I have read. The author has done a superb job of collecting and sourcing seemingly every scrap of available information about Gossip, but without getting bogged down in uninteresting details in the article itself. He also has a knack for compiling information about the subjects's personal life, and of the opinions about the subject, in a way that is both interesting and objective. I was also pleased with the balance the author struck on the subject's personal life, touching on the significant points without getting into sludge.

This article is a model for how biographies of chess players should be written in Wikipedia, if not for all biographies. Caissanist (talk) 01:31, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

I'll review this. I actually have some expertise in chess history, but I haven't seen this article before, and know virtually nothing about Mr. Gossip. Crystal whacker (talk) 04:13, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

I'm passing this article. The A-class review precedes this review, and having read the article I have nothing substantive to add. I would support this article at Featured nominations if it came that way. Crystal whacker (talk) 04:54, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Well, that was quick! Thanks, Crystal whacker! Krakatoa (talk) 05:23, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
