Checking against GA criteria

This article has been reviewed as part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/Project quality task force in an effort to ensure all listed Good articles continue to meet the Good article criteria. In reviewing the article, I have found there are some issues that may need to be addressed, listed below. I will check back in seven days. If these issues are addressed, the article will remain listed as a Good article. Otherwise, it may be delisted (such a decision may be challenged through WP:GAR). If improved after it has been delisted, it may be nominated at WP:GAN. Feel free to drop a message on my talk page if you have any questions, and many thanks for all the hard work that has gone into this article thus far.

GA review (see here for criteria)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose): b (MoS):

   Lead needs expanding to fully summarise the article as per WP:LEAD.

   Baseball has been popular in Kinston since the late nineteenth century, and it fielded many excellent amateur clubs. Rewrite to corect grammar.

   The other racial pioneer for Kinston baseball was Frank Washington, a holdover from the 1955 Burlington team. Kinston's owner was an inept businessman who brought the club near bankruptcy before it was moved to Wilson in 1957. Rather abrupt chnage in subject between the two sentences.

   Recommend a thorough copy-edit to improve style.

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

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

   Assume good faith for all offline sources.

   I fixed two dead links using WP:CHECKLINKS

   ONline sources appear to be RS

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:

   OK, the lead needs expansing and the rpose needs a good overall to make it erasonably good. At present it is uneven and not very well written. On hold for seven days for improvements to be made, major contributors and projects will be notified

"OK, the lead needs expansing and the rpose needs a good overall to make it erasonably good." For posting this sentence while standing in judgment of the writing abilities of others, I award you the Golden Irony barnstar. Congrats! 98.121.178.250 (talk) 00:08, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
