Checking against GA criteria

edit
GA review (see here for criteria)
  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose):   b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):  
    Prose good, I note one statement "As of 2010[update], Stephen and Margaret Lynch live in South Boston with their daughter Victoria Bailey Lynch (born c.2000) and their niece Crystal Shaughnessy (born c.1995)." that has triggered the category Category:All articles containing potentially dated statements, that may need addressing in future
    Yeah, as soon as an article from 2011 mentions the family situation, I'll advance the date. —Designate (talk) 01:33, 18 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
    OK
    Complies sufficiently with MoS
  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (references):   b (citations to reliable sources):   c (OR):  
    References check out, the first EL[1] is used as ref#2 so should be removed from ELs as per WP:EL
    Technically the ref is one page from the site, whereas the EL is the whole site. —Designate (talk) 01:33, 18 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
  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, where possible and appropriate.
    a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales):   b (appropriate use with suitable captions):  
    Not sure why we need File:Joemoakley.jpg , I know Lynch succeeded him, but does the picture add anything to the article?
    I think it's OK to have tangential images if they don't overwhelm the article. It's your call I guess. —Designate (talk) 01:33, 18 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
    No problem. Jezhotwells (talk) 01:39, 18 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
  7. Overall:
    Pass/Fail:  
    One query. On hold for seven days. Jezhotwells (talk) 14:14, 17 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
    OK, I am happy to pass this as GA. Congratulations! Jezhotwells (talk) 01:39, 18 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
