GA Review

Hi! I guess I'll take this one for review as well. I'm trying to work through some of the backlog in the politics section...it's insane to have to wait over a month and a half for a review... Dana boomer (talk) 01:25, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

GA review (see here for criteria)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose): b (MoS):

   • I'd like to see another paragraph (about the same length as the one currently there) added to the lead.
     • O.K. I summarized each out of state story.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 08:04, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
   • I'm not sure of the significance of the distance between Aurora and Chicago, and why it is important enough to need to mention it in the lead.
     • O.K.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 07:30, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
   • In the Background section. Why was his resignation controversial? Was he trying to avoid censure/punishment for something? Was it his fault that the boil water order had to be issued?
     • Removed offending words.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 07:44, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
   • In the Campaign section, "When the smoke cleared on the election in this municipality that spans four counties" is unencyclopedic, especially in its use of "this".
     • O.K.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 07:41, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
   • Has there been any more recent news on Weisner's WiFi initiative? If this was a big thing for him, there really should be some sort of an update that's more recent than a year ago.
     • Found.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 07:37, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

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):

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

   A few prose and MOS issues, so I am placing this article on hold. Please let me know if you have any questions. Dana boomer (talk) 01:47, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

   Looks good, so I'm passing the article to GA status. Nice work, and thanks for the prompt response. Dana boomer (talk) 18:19, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
