GA Review

GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

---

This article is in decent shape, but it needs more work before it becomes a Good Article.

1. Is it well written?

   A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:

   In the Early years section, "By 1876", "In 1881", "In 1885", "by 1886", and "in 1891" it would be best if there was a comma placed after 1876, 1881, 1885, 1886, 1891. Same thing for the Friedlander era: 1893–1915, Franklin, Coffee and Stern eras: 1917–1965, Broude era: 1966–1989, and Chester era: 1989–present sections.

   Check. Also, User:clariosophic makes a good point about "formally"/"formerly" for the First Hebrew Congregation of Oakland, which would have to be fixed. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 14:06, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

   Yes, it was a good point. I've clarified that now in the text, and added a source backing it up. Jayjg ^(talk) 02:08, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

   D. It contains no copyright violations nor plagiarism:

3. Is it broad in its coverage?

   It represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each:

5. Is it stable?

   It does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute:

6. Is it illustrated, if possible, by images?

   A. Images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content:

   B. Images are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions:

7. Overall:

   Pass or Fail:

   If the above statements can be answered, I will pass the article. Good luck with improving this article!

Thanks for the feedback. I believe I've inserted all the necessary commas now, please let me know if I've missed any. Jayjg ^(talk) 05:46, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

I would like to thank Jayjg for getting the stuff I left at the talkpage, because I have gone off and passed it to GA. Congrats. ;) --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 00:59, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
