GAN Quicksheet 1.23 SM
(Criteria)


Starting comments: Here goes...


1. Well written:   Section acceptable

a. prose/copyright:   Acceptable
b. MoS compliance:   Acceptable

2. Accurate and verifiable:   Section acceptable Assuming good faith on the printed sources (i.e. almost everything), as I don't have access to the books you're using.

a. provides references:   Acceptable
b. proper citation use:   Acceptable
c. no original research:   Acceptable

3. Broad in coverage:

a. covers main aspects:   Needs work
  • You include details on Ray's second Legion of Merit but no details on his first. Considering that you gave details for both Silver Stars, and the Legion of Merit is a higher level award, I would think that the first would warrant at least a sentence or two of coverage.
    • I have added this. I think the Silver Star is actually the higher award. Hawkeye7 (talk) 21:06, 7 January 2013 (UTC)Reply
b. focused/on topic:   Acceptable

4. Neutral:   Acceptable

5. Stable:   Acceptable

6. Image use:

a. license/tagging correct:   Needs work
  • The source for the image, "US Navy photograph", isn't really good enough. Source is more "where did you get it from", i.e. is it scanned from a book? taken from a website? personal collection? If there is more information about the author, that also should be included.
    • Yeah, the photograph is from the my personal collection. I believe that it was one of a series of photographs of senior Naval officers taken in Australia in 1943. You can see he has his Silver Star but not yet the DSM of LoM. Hawkeye7 (talk) 21:06, 7 January 2013 (UTC)Reply
      • Oh, I wouldn't know. I just assumed that LoM was higher because it was listed above Silver Star in the infobox. Sven Manguard Wha? 22:17, 7 January 2013 (UTC)Reply
b. relevant/properly captioned:   Acceptable

7. Additional items not required for a GA, but requested by the reviewer:

a. images that should have alt texts have them:   Acceptable
b. general catch all and aesthetics:   Acceptable


Comments after the initial review: Nothing too serious. Should take about 10 minutes to get this into GA shape. I like doing GAN reviews for you MilHist people, you don't make me work very hard. This is also Sven Manguard 19:21, 7 January 2013 (UTC)Reply
