Can we not find a better-quality picture? User:70.239.90.226 00:50 September 8, 2006
http://www.statelib.lib.in.us/www/ihb/govportraits/jennings.html http://www.centerforhistory.org/images/indhistpics/jennings.jpg User:70.239.90.226 September 8, 2006
The problem is that the images must be free-use. The current pic is, as it was pre-1923. Those look too modern to be, and thus we can't use them. Yes, I know that's ridiculous and I agree, but someone would remove them. For now, we are stuck with the current.-- Bedford 01:39, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
I imagine the portraits on the State Historical Bureau website are in the public domain, since many of them were painted in the 19th century. In fact, many of the portraits shown in articles for early Indiana governors also appear in the Historical Bureau's Gallery.
I'll be reviewing this article according to the GA criteria. If you have any questions, suggestions, or comments during the process, feel free to let me know. I'll be back after my initial readthrough. -- Banime ( talk) 14:41, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
In my initial readthrough, I checked for the basic problems. The article contains reliable sources, the topic is not treated in an obviously non-neutral way, there are no cleanup banners, and it is not about a current event. One project has rated it Start-Class, however, which concerns me a little. However it could just be that Wikiproject Biography didn't get around to rating it again, as Wikiproject Indiana has it at B class. Article seems pretty stable and there are not any edit wars or vandalism to speak of. I see no reason for a quick fail, and I will now go much more in depth in my review. -- Banime ( talk) 15:00, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
I'm back with my complete review. I will use the GA Criteria as a guideline for my review to help with making improvements and focusing on what needs fixing. I also made a few fixes myself, which you can see by checking the edit history.
After reading the article in depth I've decided to put this article On Hold until it is improved. Keep me updated on the changes you make, and good luck. Thanks to all editors who are helping with this project. I'll be back in a week or earlier if the criteria are met before that. Keep up the good work. -- Banime ( talk) 20:49, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
Besides that, all of your changes so far have been great and have really improved the article. Make this last change and I'll give it one final readthrough and make the final decision. Keep working on those pictures as well as that will definitely help for later. -- Banime ( talk) 18:10, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
After all of the improvements and having my concerns addressed, I am going to pass this according to the GA Criteria. Many thanks to all the editors, specifically Charles Edward for their help in building up and improving this article. Be sure to keep improving the pictures, especially as you go for FA criteria. Finally, I recommend User:Tony1/How_to_satisfy_Criterion_1a for help on improving prose for reaching FA status. Good luck and good work. -- Banime ( talk) 18:31, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
The Notes section references the Randy Mills biography on Jennings; not "Miller", so I'll correct all the references for Miller as I copyedit this. I'll also fix the reference to "Keith Mills" - it should be Randy Mills instead. Rosalina523 ( talk) 19:32, 30 May 2013 (UTC)
