GA Review

[edit]
This review is transcluded from Talk:Charles Mathias/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

This is generally an excellent article, and all contributors should be very proud of it. It engaged me, and I learned a great deal from it. It's obvious that a lot of painstaking research of offline sources went into it, which is great, since I think Wikipedia is at its most valuable when it takes information that isn't available online and brings it here. My review against the Good Article criteria follows. Sarcasticidealist (talk) 00:43, 29 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Update: All issues have been satisfactorily addressed, and the article is now a GA. Congratulations! Actually, I think this probably isn't too far from FA quality, though I'm not personally all that experienced in that area. Sarcasticidealist (talk) 21:04, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Is it well written?

[edit]
  • Generally quite good. I think there's some room for improvement - there always is - and I'll make some suggestions for that improvement below. These aren't all preconditions for the article passing as a GA, and if you disagree with me on any of them please feel free to say so:
  • "He was also a member of the Maryland House of Delegates from 1959 to 1960, and a member of the United States House of Representatives..." I find the repetition of "a member of" to be somewhat awkward, and I think it would flow better if you reworded to "...from 1959 to 1960, and of the...".

  • "He worked as a lawyer, and was elected to the state legislature in 1958." Given that the previous sentence talks about his wartime service, I think some context in this sentence would be helpful - "After the war, he worked as a lawyer", or "Beginning in 19XX, he worked as a lawyer", or something similar.

  • "He officially began his campaign in March, establishing public education and controlling government spending as two of his priorities should he be elected." Because both "establishing" and "controlling" are in the same form, this sentence creates an impression of parallelism that doesn't actually exist. Would it work to replace "controlling" with "controls on" or "controlled"? Sarcasticidealist (talk) 22:52, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • "...having the "worse Republican record in Annapolis." Should that read "worst"? If not, the quote needs to be worked in in a different way, since it doesn't work to have a comparative following a definite article like that. Sarcasticidealist (talk) 22:52, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • "Mathias had previously accused Foley of voting "present" in the U.S. House too often, which he argued was leading to higher taxes and inflation due to inaction." There are a few things that I don't like about this sentence. First, I don't think the "had previously" is necessary, unless these accusations took place before Mathias challenged him in the election. If not, it seems bulky and passive (if you think it's important to establish that Mathias' accusations came first, put them before Foley's in the article, rather than starting with Foley's and doubling back). Second, "...was leading to higher taxes and inflation due to inaction" is very awkward. Off the top of my head, what about segmenting this into a new sentence to read "Mathias argued that this inaction led to inflation and higher taxes."? Also, with the current wording it's not clear whether "higher" modifies "inflation" or only "taxes" - was Mathias suggesting that this led to "higher inflation", or to "inflation"? Finally, while I know what it means to vote "present", I'm not sure this is a well-known enough concept. Is there a wikilink that might be helpful? Or would it work to add a paranthetical device like "(a de fact abstention)"? Or would it be better to replace "voting present" with "abstaining"?

I'm not sure your fix works, though I understand what you're trying to say, since the sentence doesn't treat the amendment and the bill discreetly. What about "He was the author of the "Mathias Amendment" to the unsuccessful 1966 civil rights bill on open housing."? Sarcasticidealist (talk) 05:11, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • "Personal and campaign finances were also made issues of the campaign, with Brewster causing controversy over the fact that $15,000 had been donated to his campaign by his Senate staff and their relatives." I find this awkward. I think it would be improved if the subject was changed from "Brewster" to "controversy", and tightening the wording elsewhere. How about "Campaign finances were also an issue, with controversy erupting over Brewster's receipt of $15,000 in campaign contributions from his Senate staff and their families."?

  • "On election day, November 5, 1968, Mathias defeated Brewster and perennial candidate George P. Mahoney. Mathias garnered 48% of the vote to Brewster's 39% and Mahoney's 13%." I think these sentences would be better merged, to something like "On November 5, 1968, Mathias was elected, garnering 48% of the vote to Brewster's 39% and perennial candidate George P. Mahoney's 13%."

  • "Mathias defeated incumbent Democrat Daniel Brewster, despite his party's 3-1 advantage in registered voters." It's not clear whether "his" refers to Mathias or Brewster here (well, it is clear to me, but only because I've read the rest of the article). Suggest changing "his party's" to "Democrats'" or something similar. Sarcasticidealist (talk) 22:52, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • "First term (1969-1975)" and "Second term: conflict with conservatives (1975-1981)". I really like your tactic of giving the second term a "subtitle"; would it be possible to do the same with the first term, both for consistency and for overall article quality?

  • "On local issues..." the rest of this sentence deals with Washington D.C. issues. Are those truly "local" from the perspective of a Maryland senator? You'd know better than I would, but it seems odd to me, since Washington residents obviously aren't eligible Maryland voters. Sarcasticidealist (talk) 23:27, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • "Concerning the Supreme Court, Mathias voted against two controversial Nixon nominees..." You open sentences with "Concerning X" quite often; it's my view that this sort of preface interrupts flow (and even if it doesn't, you should mix it up a little if only for variety). In this case, how about "Mathias voted against two controversial Nixon Supreme Court nominees"? Sarcasticidealist (talk) 23:27, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • "...neither of whom were nominated by the rest of the Senate." A couple of issues: first, I believe (though I could certainly be mistaken, as my specialty is Canadian politics, not American) that the Senate doesn't nominate justices, but confirms them after they're nominated by the President. Second, the use of "neither" makes the subject singular, so it should be "Neither of whom was..." Finally, I'd suggest eliminating "rest of", since that makes it appear that Mathias wasn't part of the decision. Actually, if you do change the verb to "confirmed", I'd suggest just ending the sentence immediately after that word. Sarcasticidealist (talk) 23:27, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • "...investigation into the Watergate Scandal surrounding Nixon" "Of" strikes me as a better preposition than "into". Also, I don't think "surrounding Nixon" is necessary; almost all readers will have a passing familiarity with the scandal, and those who don't can follow the wikilink.

  • "By the numbers, Mathias sided with the Nixon administration 47% of the time, and voted with his party 31% of the time during his first term." A couple of things: first, there needs to be a comma following "31% of the time", since "during his first term" modifies the first part of the sentence as well. Second, what does "voted with his party" actually mean? Voted the same way as a majority of the Republican senators? Sarcasticidealist (talk) 23:27, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • "...though he lost badly in Baltimore City..." I'm obviously not a Marylander, but "Baltimore City" sounds strange to me, since when I hear "Baltimore" I automatically think of the city. You're a better judge than I am of this, though: is this something that a Marylander would actually say? Sarcasticidealist (talk) 23:27, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I take it from your inaction that my concern was unfounded. Fair enough. Sarcasticidealist (talk) 05:11, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, I meant to mention why I left it alone. I kept "Baltimore City" since I felt it would work better than "...Baltimore and Baltimore County...". They are both independent entities. Locally, many Marylanders just refer to "the city" and "the county" when distinguishing the two, so "Baltimore City" is not an uncommon way of describing it. --Tom (talk - email) 14:46, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • "...such an event would place the party leadership "in further isolation, in an extreme—almost fringe—position"" Was he saying that the mere fact of a Reagan-Ford contest would have this effect? Sarcasticidealist (talk) 00:43, 29 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • "Conservatives in the state were considering challenging Mathias for his seat, such as Marjorie Holt or Robert Bauman," The "such as" bit doesn't work, because it's not clear what it applies to. Something like "Several conservatives in the state, such as Marjorie Holt or Robert Bauman, were considering challenging Mathias for his seat" would work, as would any number of other reworkings.

  • "However, Mathias chose to remain as a Republican..." As this now reads, the "However" contrasts this statement with the fact that some conservatives were considering challenging him. From what I can tell, it's actually supposed to contrast with the fact that he was rumoured to be considering leaving the party. I'd suggest inverting this sentence and the one about conservatives considering challenging him. Sarcasticidealist (talk) 00:43, 29 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • The article's second last paragraph repeats the word "Bay" too often, in my view. I'm also not convinced that it's appropriate to capitalize the word when used in isolation - it seems akin to capitalizing "the City" when you're referring to Kansas City.

Is it factually accurate and verifiable?

[edit]
  • Good to perfect. A couple of questions, which I can't answer myself since most sources are offline (I presume that all material is somewhere in the references, but it's sometimes unclear which reference supports which material):
  • "He was the author of the "Mathias Amendment" to the unsuccessful 1966 civil rights bill, advocating open housing." There's no footnote and the end of this sentence. Does the source at the end of the next sentence also cover this one? Sarcasticidealist (talk) 22:52, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • There's only one footnote in the first paragraph of "Election of 1968: unseating Brewster". Does that footnote support all material in the paragraph? Sarcasticidealist (talk) 22:52, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • "As the campaign drew on, the two primary issues became the War and criminal activity. Mathias argued that the extensive bombing campaigns in North Vietnam should be reduced, while Brewster had argued for increasing bombardment. Concerning law and order, Brewster adopted a hard line stance, while Mathias advocated addressing the precipiating causes of poverty and the low standard of living in urban ghettos. Personal and campaign finances were also made issues of the campaign, with Brewster causing controversy over the fact that $15,000 had been donated to his campaign by his Senate staff and their relatives." Does the single source provided at the end of this passage support all material in the passage? Sarcasticidealist (talk) 22:52, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Due to their differing ideologies, there was speculation that Mathias was going to be "purged" from the party by Nixon in a similar manner as Goodell in 1971, but these threats disappeared after the Watergate scandal escalated." This appears to be unsourced - is it, or am I mistaken? Sarcasticidealist (talk) 23:27, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • "However, he still managed to raise over $250,000, nearly five times that of Mikulski's campaign." Is this statement supported by the article "Mathias Is Elected To a Second Term"? Sarcasticidealist (talk) 23:27, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • The third paragraph of "Second term: conflict with conservatives (1975-1981)" - the one beginning "At the beginning of the new Congress..." - is quite long, but includes only one reference. Does that reference actually support all of the material in the paragraph? Sarcasticidealist (talk) 00:43, 29 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Same goes for the third paragraph of "Final term (1981-1987)". Sarcasticidealist (talk) 00:43, 29 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • "After his retirement, The Washington Post stated that Mathias' lasting reputation would be that of a maverick. Though he was elected to the House in 1960 as a moderate/conservative, his life in the Congress moved him to the center, and he frequently deviated from the party line and sided with Democrats. The fact that he "went out of his way to disassociate himself from [Ronald Reagan]" in the 1980 elections had hindered his chances at a chairmanship. Mathias also established a record on civil rights, having played an important role in passing a fair housing bill while he was in the House, and also in establishing a national holiday for Martin Luther King, Jr." This all appears to be uncited.

These concerns have been addressed to my satisfaction on my talk page here. This is now a pass. Sarcasticidealist (talk) 00:25, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Is it broad in its coverage?

[edit]
  • There are some gaps here, especially in his early life:
Enough of these concerns have been addressed to pass the article on this criterion. I'd still like to see more information about his early life, if such information should become available. Sarcasticidealist (talk) 00:33, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Is it neutral?

[edit]
  • Yes. Writing neutral articles about politicians isn't easy, but I think it's been managed beautifully here. I personally find that the article reflects rather well on Mathias, but after a careful examination of the language I've concluded that this is more because of my own biases than because of any bias inherent in the article. Pass. Sarcasticidealist (talk) 00:43, 29 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Is it stable?

[edit]

Is it illustrated, if possible, by images?

[edit]
  • Yes. All are appropriate selections that are properly-licensed. I also like how in a couple of cases images are used that are not used elsewhere in the project; I think these add more value than repeating images that are in other articles. As a comment, it would be nice if more free images of Mathias himself could be found, as right now there are only two in the article (compared to six of other people), but that has nothing to do with GA status. Pass. Sarcasticidealist (talk) 22:52, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Article issues in preparation for FA

[edit]

Per User:Tom's request, I'm reviewing this article in preparation for a possible featured article candidature. I think it looks mostly ready (though there's bound to be the usual litany of minor fixes requested from reviewers). Issues I'd suggest fixing before nominating it:

  • "He was promoted to Ensign in 1944 and served sea duty in the Pacific Ocean, including the recently-devastated Hiroshima..." Reads that i. the Pacific Ocean includes Hiroshima, and ii. Matthias served sea duty in Hiroshima. Neither of those sounds right.
  • "On two issues, however, Mathias argued to reform Congress and the U.S. tax system to address inflation and corporate price fixing, contrary to Mikulski." This is a little awkward, and also potentially POV: was Mikulski anti-Congressional reform, and anti-addressing inflation and corporate price fixing? That doesn't seem likely.
  • "Mathias remarked that the party leadership was placed "in further isolation, in an extreme—almost fringe—position"." Direct quote should be immediately followed by footnotes.
  • Some of the material in "Legacy" might be better moved to the chronological sections. I think "Legacy" should sum up the candidate's overall record and/or most important accomplishments. Much of what's in there (Chesapeake Bay, Vietnam Memorial, etc.) now isn't even mentioned in the sections dealing with his actual time in the Senate.
  • The Obama bit should be better integrated. Right now it stands out as one of those things that was clearly added to the article the day after it happened, or something; the actual date that he delivered his endorsement probably isn't important at this point.
  • Reference numbers 48 and 49 need accessdate parameters.

Overall, though, my guess it would be that it will pass the FAC process. But please don't hold me to that if I'm wrong. Sarcasticidealist (talk) 17:15, 7 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

College roommate?

[edit]

The article as written states that Sen. Brewster, whom Mathias challenged in 1968, was "his college roommate." This article states that Mathias attended Haverford and Yale, while the Brewster article states that Brewster attended Princeton and Johns Hopkins. How could they have been college roommates?
