Hart Island (Bronx)

Nominator(s): epicgenius (talk) 00:08, 15 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This article is about an island in the Bronx, NYC, which is used as a potter's field. About a million people are buried there. And in my opinion, it's quite an interesting topic with lots of history.

This article had a previous FAC, which received an image and source review by Nikkimaria but was archived due to a lack of support. It has also received a GOCE copyedit. Any further comments are welcome. epicgenius (talk) 00:08, 15 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Quick comment: I intend to look at the sources shortly, but meantime, how did the GOCE copyeditors allow the word "island" to occur four times in the opening line? Brianboulton (talk) 18:29, 15 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Brianboulton: I tried to fix this. It's actually seven times, but three of these instances are in reference to other geographical features (i.e. City Island, Long Island Sound, Pelham Islands). epicgenius (talk) 12:48, 16 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sources review

No spotchecks carried out
Links to sources all working, per ext. links checker tool
Formats:

Be consistent re book publisher locations (compare refs 6, 7, 57 with ref 75)
Ref 59: Grand Street can be wikilinked, piped from Grand Street (magazine)
Ref 65: Not sure the Chief Medical Officer is the publisher of this document. Surely New York City Council is the responsible authority?
Ref 94: Gothamist can be wikilinked, too.

Quality/reliability: I'm not too sure about ref 91, "Untapped Cities". What makes this a high quality reliable source per the FA criteria? No problems otherwise.

@Brianboulton: Thanks for the source review, I have fixed the issues you described above. I removed Untapped Cities because it doesn't meet the FA criteria. epicgenius (talk) 13:27, 22 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@FAC coordinators: I would like to withdraw this nomination, as it seems that there is some news that may require a major update, thereby failing the stability criterion 1e. epicgenius (talk) 14:57, 15 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
