Failed "good article" nomination

This article has failed its Good article nomination. This is how the article, as of November 26, 2022, compares against the six good article criteria:

1. Well written?: Choppy sentences and paragraphs, and awkward phrasing all around. Overuse of "261" as the sole identifier instead of "Engine 261" or something more standard.

2. Verifiable?: Most of the article is unsourced. A few of the citations (such as TrainChasers.com, Steam Giants, Railroad Nation) that are used are not from reliable sources.

3. Broad in coverage?: Fails point (b), as there is far too much detail here.

4. Neutral point of view?: Did not check.

5. Stable?:

Pass

6. Images?: Paring down to the better quality images would improve the article.

Clearly not ready for GA, and from a non-contributing nominator.

When these issues are addressed, the article can be renominated. If you feel that this review is in error, feel free to have it reassessed. Thank you for your work so far.— Sounder Bruce 21:35, 26 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
