Alright I will be picking up the review of this one - both for the Wiki Cup and the GA cup as well.
Side note, I would love some input on a Featured List candidate (Mexican National Light Heavyweight Championship) and a Featured Article candidate (CMLL World Heavyweight Championship). I am not asking for Quid pro Quo, but all help is appreciated. MPJ-US 01:07, 12 March 2016 (UTC)

editI like to get this checked out first, I have found issues using this that has led to quick fails so it's important this passes muster.

Well Written
edit- I don't like that the word "life" is in all the titles basically
- I don't like that the word "life" is in all the titles basically
- "born on January 5, 1826" should have a comma after the year
- "firm, Melett & Gregg in" should be "firm, Melett & Gregg, in" (is the "&" part of the offical name or should it be "and"?)
- "later made manager of" - "the manager"?
- "an conciliator" should be "a conciliator"
- "the Erie Railroad," does not need the comma
Sources/verifiable
edit- Do you have page reference for the Brown & Johnson reference?
- Date uses "July 11, 1889" but the accessdate uses "29 August 2015", all date formats should be the same.
Broad in coverage
edit- Hard to say yes to this considering how short this article is.
Neutral
edit- Yes
Stable
edit- No issues revealed in the article history.
Illustrated / Images
edit- None at all. With Barlow being dead for over 100 years I think a good case can be made for a fair use claim. I think it would help.
- Actually now that I think of it, he's been dead for over 100 years the pictures are probably under Public Domain now. MPJ-US 00:26, 13 March 2016 (UTC)
General
edit- The article is rather short, making it hard to fullfill the WP:WIAFA critera 1(b) "Comprehensive. Is there anything at all that can be added?
So a quick google search brought up a multitude of results, between them there is a lot more info than there is currently in this article. I would encourage you to look through these and see what you can pull from it. I believe all the sources listed would be considered reliable sources.

And this is just from a quick Google search, not actual research. MPJ-US 00:19, 13 March 2016 (UTC)
- User:Ceradon - I have provided what input I could on the article itself, but a quick search does show that there is more information available that could be included in the Wikia biography to paint a fuller picture. I am going to put this on hold for now, 7 days to allow work to take place. If improvements are still going in in 7 days I'll be happy to keep it open to allow for those to be completed.
