Hi @Found5dollar – I would be reviewing this article per Good article criteria. From a quick glan, the article seems well researched and well cited. My general comments about the article would be divided by section, and other suggestions would be separated from the review. Feel free to let me know if you have any concerns. Thanks! – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 06:07, 12 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Section-wise comments

Overall

[edit]
  • Overall, the article is well written and well cited. It covers almost everything I can think of a desk. Hence, the criteria 3 passes.
  • I fixed quite a few curly quotation marks. Please see for other instances of same, and replace them with straight quotation marks.
  • No copyvio (except a direct quotation – see comparision)
  • I noticed that you have not used Cite web or Cite news templates. It is not a major issue as it isn't required by the criteria.
  • @Found5dollar – I am putting this article on hold for you to address the issues. Overall, an excellent and in-depth research was done. Thanks! – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 10:04, 12 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Lead

[edit]
  • "After briefly using this desk in the Oval Office, John F. Kennedy switched to the Resolute desk and moved the Theodore Roosevelt desk to the Vice President's Ceremonial Office in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building." – The first line already mentions that Vice President's Ceremonial Office is in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building.
  • ".. in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, where ..." – Eisenhower Executive Office Building is linked for the second time.
  • " After Nixon resigned, the Theodore Roosevelt desk was ..." → "After Nixon resigned, the desk was"
  • ".. signed the inside of ..." – Required a grammatical fix.

Design and markings

[edit]
  • The prose should be in chronological order. This section mentions Nixon's use of draw before mentioning the 1949 article.

History

@Kavyansh.Singh: I believe I addressed all of your concerns! please let me know if there is any other issue or question you have. --Found5dollar (talk) 03:15, 13 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Found5dollar – Thanks for addressing almost everything in a short period of time. I fell this article now meets the criteria, and therefore; I am passing this review, and listing it as a Good Article. Archiving and other minor issues can be addressed afterwards. Honestly, I didn't knew that so much could be written about a desk. I'll strongly encourage you to continue improving the presidential desk articles, and eventually make it a Good Topic. Thanks a lot for you contribution and co-operating during the review. – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 04:22, 13 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
