Thank you for a very thorough GA review of Sea and additionally for the barnstar. It was fun working up the article (in collaboration) from its limited previous size. Much more interesting than trying to find references for unattributed statements! Cwmhiraeth ( talk) 12:17, 9 July 2013 (UTC)
Hi Khazar2, I've seen you removed the POV tag. I can just remove the content, or add the tag again. The issue remains the same, with ongoing development on the events and different positions in the academy. This is a kind of issue that arouses passions around it, and the citation provided of a known Spanish newspaper with vested views on all political and cultural Basque topics is a quick and feeble support, not to mention the "fabricated pieces" section heading and the wording used. Regards Iñaki LL ( talk) 15:07, 9 July 2013 (UTC)
On 9 July 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Slavery by Another Name, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Slavery by Another Name argues that slavery in the United States continued after the Civil War? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Slavery by Another Name. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

Reviewer: Adam Cuerden ( talk · contribs) 22:28, 17 July 2013 (UTC)
This is a very good start, but there are a few issues. The main issue is a number of "unfinished stories", where very briefly detailing the way they were resolved would allow the reader to move on.
A good start, as I say. Fix those few things, and we're probably ready for GA. Adam Cuerden ( talk) 22:28, 17 July 2013 (UTC)
I've made a couple of small tweaks, and think it's now ready for GA. ✓ Pass. I do hope you intend to take this to FA; I'd suggest a peer review first for a few more eyes (I am, after all, not a lawyer), but I think this is a magnificent article, at the least very nearly ready for FA.
Adam Cuerden (

I think we've now worked through everything, and the article's ready for GA. As I say in the review, the issues were relatively small, and all of you had done excellent work before I arrived and started nitpicking. Congratulaions! Review follows. I think I'll take on Bill of Rights next, and, also, if you ever want me to review more, please ask on my talk page. Adam Cuerden ( talk) 13:25, 19 July 2013 (UTC)

Reviewing |
Reviewer: Adam Cuerden ( talk · contribs) 05:29, 18 July 2013 (UTC)
Right. I'm going to take this one on. From having done the Fourteenth Amendment yesterday, I know these sort of articles get rather complex, so I just want to claim this one before I start, lest all my work is lost. Adam Cuerden ( talk) 05:29, 18 July 2013 (UTC)
Would it be worth briefly summarising the Twelfth Amendment when it's mentioned? Something like "...more than sixty years had passed since the last amendment to the Constitution (the Twelfth, which revised the rules for electing President and Vice-President) had been successfully ratified."? Or is that getting too off-topic? Use your judgement, I suppose. I've done a little copyediting of my own.
I'm not quite sure what the term "sectional tensions" is meant to mean. Tension between sections of the country? Best to clarify.
This sentence is incredibly unclear: "The American Colonization Society, in contrast, called for the emigration and colonization of African American slaves, who were freed, to Africa." I think this is referring to the split in the abolitionist movement between integration and emigration, but the next sentence states that it was an alternative to abolition, so I really don't know. Make this clear, please. Also, isn't "African-American" hyphenated when used as an adjective?
"As the country continued to expand, the issue of slavery in its new territories became the dominant national issue." - "the" implies it was the only dominant issue; wouldn't it be better to say "a dominant national issue"? I mean, it was pretty big, and the Bleeding Kansas events it inspired were a major cause of the Civil War, but it seems...
Sorry, I just wrote a paragraph contrasting the subtle variations in meaning between "a" and "the". I'll just change it.
Thanks again for reviewing! I appreciate the assistance and feedback. -- Khazar2 ( talk) 02:58, 19 July 2013 (UTC)
This section seems mis-placed. It comes between the history leading to the thirteenth amendment, and the actual passing. It should either come right after the lead, or right at the end of the article, in my opinion.
And that appears to be it for me. References look food, so once the things above are fixed, I think we have a GA. I'm open to reasonable compromises if any of my suggestions are stupid.
Also, I have made some copyedits while reviewing. If you care to check I haven't changed anything inappropriately, here's the batch diff for all of them. [2]. Individual justifications are in the edit summaries for the individual edits. Adam Cuerden ( talk) 06:29, 18 July 2013 (UTC)
For something that had to combine a history of slavery with politics and constitutional law, this was already extremely good before I came here. There were a few bits to work through, but they were a tiny, tiny proportion of the article, and everyone involved here deserves a lot of praise. I would hope you take this to FA, although you may want to get one or more experts to review it first - I am not a constitutional expert, nor a lawyer, nor anything more than an amateur historian, after all. ✓ Pass Adam Cuerden ( talk) 13:19, 19 July 2013 (UTC)

Hi there, you're getting this message as you are involved in a case at the Dispute Resolution Noticeboard which is currently open. Today DRN has undergone a big move resulting in individual cases on subpages as opposed to all the content on one page. This is to inform you that your case is now back on the DRN board and you will be able to 'watch' the subpage it's located on. Thanks, Cabe 6403 ( Talk• Sign) 13:21, 18 July 2013 (UTC)

This is a very good start, but there are a few issues. The main issue is a number of "unfinished stories", where very briefly detailing the way they were resolved would allow the reader to move on.
A good start, as I say. Fix those few things, and we're probably ready for GA. Adam Cuerden ( talk) 22:28, 17 July 2013 (UTC)
I've made a couple of small tweaks, and think it's now ready for GA. ✓ Pass. I do hope you intend to take this to FA; I'd suggest a peer review first for a few more eyes (I am, after all, not a lawyer), but I think this is a magnificent article, at the least very nearly ready for FA.

I think we've now worked through everything, and the article's ready for GA. As I say in the review, the issues were relatively small, and all of you had done excellent work before I arrived and started nitpicking. Congratulaions! Review follows. I think I'll take on Bill of Rights next, and, also, if you ever want me to review more, please ask on my talk page. Adam Cuerden ( talk) 13:25, 19 July 2013 (UTC)

Right. I'm going to take this one on. From having done the Fourteenth Amendment yesterday, I know these sort of articles get rather complex, so I just want to claim this one before I start, lest all my work is lost. Adam Cuerden ( talk) 05:29, 18 July 2013 (UTC)
Would it be worth briefly summarising the Twelfth Amendment when it's mentioned? Something like "...more than sixty years had passed since the last amendment to the Constitution (the Twelfth, which revised the rules for electing President and Vice-President) had been successfully ratified."? Or is that getting too off-topic? Use your judgement, I suppose. I've done a little copyediting of my own.
I'm not quite sure what the term "sectional tensions" is meant to mean. Tension between sections of the country? Best to clarify.
This sentence is incredibly unclear: "The American Colonization Society, in contrast, called for the emigration and colonization of African American slaves, who were freed, to Africa." I think this is referring to the split in the abolitionist movement between integration and emigration, but the next sentence states that it was an alternative to abolition, so I really don't know. Make this clear, please. Also, isn't "African-American" hyphenated when used as an adjective?
"As the country continued to expand, the issue of slavery in its new territories became the dominant national issue." - "the" implies it was the only dominant issue; wouldn't it be better to say "a dominant national issue"? I mean, it was pretty big, and the Bleeding Kansas events it inspired were a major cause of the Civil War, but it seems...
Sorry, I just wrote a paragraph contrasting the subtle variations in meaning between "a" and "the". I'll just change it.
Thanks again for reviewing! I appreciate the assistance and feedback. -- Khazar2 ( talk) 02:58, 19 July 2013 (UTC)
This section seems mis-placed. It comes between the history leading to the thirteenth amendment, and the actual passing. It should either come right after the lead, or right at the end of the article, in my opinion.
And that appears to be it for me. References look food, so once the things above are fixed, I think we have a GA. I'm open to reasonable compromises if any of my suggestions are stupid.
Also, I have made some copyedits while reviewing. If you care to check I haven't changed anything inappropriately, here's the batch diff for all of them. [2]. Individual justifications are in the edit summaries for the individual edits. Adam Cuerden ( talk) 06:29, 18 July 2013 (UTC)
For something that had to combine a history of slavery with politics and constitutional law, this was already extremely good before I came here. There were a few bits to work through, but they were a tiny, tiny proportion of the article, and everyone involved here deserves a lot of praise. I would hope you take this to FA, although you may want to get one or more experts to review it first - I am not a constitutional expert, nor a lawyer, nor anything more than an amateur historian, after all. ✓ Pass Adam Cuerden ( talk) 13:19, 19 July 2013 (UTC)
