I honestly don't know what it is, but I seem to have a knack for reviewing Good Article candidates about liberal Republicans (earlier today I reviewed Charles Mathias, for example, and earlier I did Mark Hatfield - and this is only my seventh GA review ever). Weird. Anyway, this is very close to GA-quality, in my view, but there are a few points that could stand to be addressed. I cover them below.
Generally yes. Some things that could improve:
A few new issues have reared their heads with your improvements:
This criterion is now a pass, and therefore so is the whole article. Great work, and I hope you enjoyed improving this article as much as I enjoyed nitpicking from the sidelines. Sarcasticidealist ( talk) 16:58, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
Overall very well-cited. A few concerns:
Great work in this category - no further improvements are necessary for this to be a GA. Pass. Sarcasticidealist ( talk) 06:35, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
Generally quite good. A few quibbles:
This section is also a pass now. Good work. Sarcasticidealist ( talk) 09:27, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
I think the article as a whole reads slightly in Roberts' favour. Some examples of things that could be improved:
This criterion is a pass. Sarcasticidealist ( talk) 09:28, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
Yes. Pass. Sarcasticidealist ( talk) 07:18, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
Yes - the single photo in the article is appropriate and properly-licensed. I'd recommend including more free photographs of related subjects in appropriate sections - possibly something from Rocky Mountain National Park in the "Early career" section, maybe this for later in the article, etc. Such images don't necessarily improve understanding of the subject, but if they're free there's nothing wrong with a little relevant decoration. In any event, pass. Sarcasticidealist ( talk) 07:18, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
This article does not meet the 3rd criteria of a "Good Article" in my opinion.
"Broad in its coverage: (a) it addresses the main aspects of the topic;[3] and (b) it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style)."
This article goes into many unnecessary details as regards the political actions of Roberts. Rather than summarizing her actions, this article gives a laborious "play-by-play." If you compare it with articles of politicians in similar offices, you will easily note that this article is extraordinarily long. Grassrootsgirl ( talk) 01:45, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
Sethant, I am quite new to Wiki-land, as I am sure you have gathered. I confess that I am being bold in my edits as Wikipedia encourages, although there is a steep learning curve, and so I have made mistakes on the way. I initially edited out some of Roberts biographical information because it was too narrowly focused on her political achievements, even in high school. In retrospect, it would have been better to add in other information or checked for citations it, but to be honest, I didn't know how to undo that and I knew that Wikipedia kept an old version on file, so I figured it could still be rectified. However, I had edited that, I was quite surprised to find that everything left was simply repetitive of the preceding paragraph. So I edited that out as well. As to changing the chronological order, it placed the more relevant information closer to the beginning of the article and actually improves the flow as it ends her Bio info with her 2010 race and picks up her legislative Hx there. I did reverse it all so that it is in order from newest to oldest so it is consistent. And I looked at some of your other articles that you mentioned and the blow by blow of those political careers were far less mundane, (especially Douglas Bruce, oh my goodness) and grouped more to topic. And so I stand by my original concern. I think that it is a great idea to get a third party involved... how does that happen? Thanks Grassrootsgirl ( talk) 04:55, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
Sorry, I did not realize that delisting was radical :-) So, how do I go about taking your advice? How do I revert my edits and withdraw the reassessment request? Grassrootsgirl ( talk) 08:13, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
