GAN Quicksheet 1.23 SM
(Criteria)

Starting comments: Wait, I know that guy!

1. Well written: Section acceptable

a. prose/copyright: Acceptable

b. MoS compliance: Acceptable

2. Accurate and verifiable: As your sourcing is based off of eight physical books, none of which I own, I'm going on good faith that there is no close paraphrasing. I take comfort in that your little group over at MilHist has been reviewing each other's work long enough that if there were shenanigans, they'd have been flushed out by now. Section acceptable

a. provides references: Acceptable

b. proper citation use: Acceptable

c. no original research: Acceptable

3. Broad in coverage: Section acceptable

a. covers main aspects: Acceptable Ideally I'd have liked for there to be a bit more about each of the two ships, however since they both have their own articles, this isn't a big deal at all.

b. focused/on topic: Acceptable

4. Neutral: Acceptable

5. Stable: Acceptable

6. Image use: Section acceptable

a. license/tagging correct: Acceptable USS Indianapolis at Mare Island.jpg doesn't have the information in the standard template, but it does have all the required information, so it's good.

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: Needs work I don't ever expect there to be alt-text when I do these, it's not something that anyone ever really thinks about, however it is something that's nice to do. If you're going for a GT/FT, you'll need to do it eventually, too.

b. general catch all and aesthetics: Acceptable

Comments after the initial review: I cannot, in good faith, hold this up because of an issue that isn't in the actual criteria. I can however leave you a pestering message on your user talk page when I'm done promoting this. I think that's the route I'll take. Top notch work. This is a GA.

Thank you for your review. I have added alt text. —Ed!^(talk) 00:30, 6 January 2013 (UTC)
