Hi, I am reviewing this article for GA and will note my initial comments below. I may add to the comments later.
- Comments
- It is reasonably well written.
- a (prose): It is well written
b (MoS): The lead needs to included its architectural relevance.
- a (prose): It is well written
- It is factually accurate and verifiable.
- a (references): There is one dead link (ref 12): http://www.thc.state.tx.us/medallionmag/medallionPDFs/MD03-04.pdf. There is no reference for the "Movie fame" section, verifying that it was the inspiration for the building in the movie. b (citations to reliable sources): Those that are listed are reliable c (OR): There is no OR

- It is broad in its coverage.
- a (major aspects): The major omission in the article is an exploration of the building's art deco architectural elements, one of the reasons the building is noted. This architecture section of the article should be a primary emphasis. The architectural elements should be detailed. b (focused): Yes

- Please also read WP:MoS#Overlinking. Words like home cooking which redirects to cooking, gas station and other common place English words should not be wikilinked, unless the wikilink materially added to the meaning and understanding of your article.
- You have also made logical punctuation errors. Please see Mos - Punctuation - Inside or out. I will try to fix some of these.
This is a nice article about a wonderful little building. The suggestions I have made should not be difficult and will materially add to the article. Regards, —Mattisse (Talk) 18:36, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
- For "Movie fame", the reference is at the end of the section? I've changed the URL for the Medallion to the archive one (looks like THC is only keeping the last 3 years of PDFs online). Working on the overlinking and Punctuation now. :) -- AnmaFinotera (talk · contribs) 00:07, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
- OKay, I think I fixed the overlinking and the quote mark issue? Working on the Architectural now. -- AnmaFinotera (talk · contribs) 00:19, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
- OK, sorry about that. I missed the reference to the movie the first time I looked at that link. The quotation mark issue pertains to situations like "U-Drop Inn." and "home cooking." The punctuation should always be outside the quotes ("U-Drop Inn".) unless you are quoting a complete sentence. —Mattisse (Talk) 00:24, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
- No prob and I think I fixed the quotes unless I missed some? I'm writing up the architectural details now...hopefully not getting too detailed :P -- AnmaFinotera (talk · contribs) 01:16, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
- Okay, done the architecture section expansion and expanding the lead. Thoughts? -- AnmaFinotera (talk · contribs) 01:44, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

- You have done a good job. I wish Art deco were more together and offered more wikilinks for your architecture section. It is a beautiful building!

- Awesome thanks! I hope one day I can make the drive up to see it in person, and maybe get some more detailed pics for the article :) -- AnmaFinotera (talk · contribs) 20:01, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
