WikiProject Biography Summer 2007 Assessment Drive
Good references, but any article about an academic who died in the late 20th Century that neither lists nor explains why the birthdate is missing, cannot rate as a GA Biography. (IMHO.) B class.
And get a pic and an infobox, for heaven's sake. It doesn't look very GA!

With only very limited exceptions (I believe hyphens), inline citations always go after punctuation, without a space between the punctuation and the reference. This alone, in some editor's eyes, would constitute failure of a Good Article candidate. -- Kicking222 21:31, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
This article is currently stalled in GA nom. A few suggestions:
Consider it on hold Danski14 01:56, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
Also, I just wanted to say that I'm no expert at GA noms, and now I'm curious if it will be maintained at GA status. I did not relize how stringent GA status is. I looked over the article again, and like I said, it would be good if you could make the prose flow a little better: right now a lot of it is just like lists of facts. Also, some of the sections might be considered too small, expand or merge them prehaps. Danski14 05:05, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
A bot has added class=GA to the WikiProject banners on this page, as it's listed as a good article. If you see a mistake, please revert, and leave a note on the bot's talk page. Thanks, BOT Giggabot ( talk) 04:42, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
I don't find that the article passes it's broad approach for Doctor Truxal. Although it shows his ranks and positions and whatnot, it shows no important events that happened during his administration, what he did, and what he was involved in while he was there. The article does not express the mood and ideal thinking of Truxal and has no recognition whatsoever. Having been an president of the college, I would have though he would have a picture of some sort, or some other type of media if he was such a important individual. Article only has one quote, in which criteria suggest that articles have multiple quotations, statistics, published opinions, or highly controversial speeches. It is a decent article, but I don't think it's worthy of GA status. Plus, nobody has bothered to edit it since late 2008. Renaissancee (talk) 20:08, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
It appears that this reassessment has been abandoned by the original reviewer so I will recommence.
Starting GA reassessment as part of the GA Sweeps process.
