GA Review

[edit]

Hi Viriditas. I will be reviewing this article. Off the bat I see a few things:

I'll go through the article for anything else. Overall, it looks good. —Mattisse (Talk) 21:51, 23 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A couple of comments from another user

[edit]
  • Still having trouble with this sentence. Could it be something like "President George W. Bush on June 15, 2006 proclaimed that the area be protected under the 1906 Antiquities Act." Does that fit what actually happened? —Mattisse (Talk) 18:02, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Is this sentence from 2006 necessary (are the details clear now)? "Other environmental officials such as Stephanie Fried of Environmental Defense expressed "tremendous concern" that commercial activity, including eco-tourism and commercial fishing, could take place in the reserve, but details on the rules were not immediately available."
  • In general, under History and establishment there seem to be many statements that were true in 2006 but the status in 2008 is unclear. And why have details about the African Burial Ground National Monument in Manhattan?
    • This is important because the Antiquities Act was only used twice by President Bush: once for this monument, and previously for the burial ground. However, the current link doesn't support it, so I'm adding a ref to the NYT. Viriditas (talk) 12:39, 28 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
