Good article reassessment

Semi-Automated Tools

Opening: GAR-helper

Good article reassessment (GAR) is a process used to review and improve good articles (GAs) that may no longer meet the good article criteria (GACR). GAs are held to the current standards regardless of when they were promoted. All users are welcome to contribute to the process, regardless of whether they were involved with the initial nomination. Editors should prioritize bringing an article up to standard above delisting. Reassessments are listed for discussion below and are concluded according to consensus. The GAR Coordinators—Lee Vilenski, Chipmunkdavis, and Trainsandotherthings—work to organize these efforts, as well as to resolve contentious reviews. To quickly bring issues to their notice, or make a query, use the {{@GAR}} notification template, or make a comment on the talk page.

Good article reassessment is not a peer review process; for that use peer review. Content disputes on GAs should be resolved through normal dispute resolution processes. Good article reassessment only assesses whether the article meets the six good article criteria. Many common problems (including the presence of dead URLs, inconsistently formatted citations, and compliance with all aspects of the Manual of Style) are not covered by the GA criteria and therefore are not grounds for delisting. Instability in itself is not a reason to delist an article. Potential candidates for reassessment can be found on the cleanup listing. Delisted good articles can be renominated as good articles if editors believe they have resolved the issues that led to the delisting.

Good article reassessment

Good article reassessment instructions

Before opening a reassessment

Consider whether the article meets the good article criteria.
Check that the article is stable. Requesting reassessment during a content dispute or edit war is usually inappropriate.
Consider raising issues at the talk page of the article or requesting assistance from major contributors.
If there are many similar articles already nominated at GAR, consider delaying the reassessment request. If an editor notices that many similar GARs are open and requests a hold, such requests should generally be granted.

Opening a reassessment

To open a good article reassessment, use the GAR-helper script on the article. Detail your reasons for reassessing the article and submit. Your rationale must specify how you believe the article does not meet the good article criteria. GARs whose rationale does not include the GACR may be speedily closed.
The user script does not notify major contributors or relevant WikiProjects. Notify these manually. You may use {{subst:GARMessage|ArticleName|page=n}} ~~~~ to do so, replacing ArticleName with the name of the article and n with the number of the reassessment page (1 if this is the first reassessment).
Consider commenting on another reassessment (or several) to help with any backlog.

Manual opening steps

Paste {{subst:GAR}} to the top of the article talk page. Do not place it inside another template. Save the page.
Follow the bold link in the template to create a reassessment page.
Detail your reasons for reassessing the article and save the page. Your rationale must specify how you believe the article does not meet the good article criteria. GARs whose rationale does not include the GACR may be speedily closed.
The page will automatically be transcluded to this page via a bot, so there is no need to add it here manually.
Transclude the assessment on the article talk page as follows: Edit the article talk page and paste {{Wikipedia:Good article reassessment/''ArticleName''/''n''}} at the bottom of the page. Replace ArticleName with the name of the article and n with the subpage number of the reassessment page you just created. This will display a new section named "GA Reassessment" followed by the individual reassessment discussion.
Notify major contributing editors, including the nominator and the reviewer. Also consider notifying relevant active WikiProjects related to the article. The {{GARMessage}} template may be used for notifications by placing {{subst:GARMessage|ArticleName|GARpage=n}} ~~~~ on user talk pages. Replace ArticleName with the name of the article and n with the subpage number of the reassessment page you just created.

Reassessment process

Editors should discuss the article's issues with reference to the good article criteria, and work cooperatively to resolve them. Comments should focus on the article's contents and adherence to the good article criteria.
The priority should be to improve articles and retain them as GAs rather than to delist them, wherever reasonably possible.
Interested editors can indicate their intention to fix the article and give updates on their progress in the GAR. Commentators should periodically check the GAR and give additional comments when necessary. Wikipedia is not compulsory and editors should not insist that commentators, interested editors, or past GAN nominators make the suggested changes, nor should they state that edits should have been completed before the GAR was opened.
If discussion has stalled and there is no obvious consensus, uninvolved editors are strongly encouraged to add a new comment rather than closing the discussion.
If discussion becomes contentious, participants may request the assistance of GAR coordinators at Wikipedia talk:Good article nominations. The coordinators may attempt to steer the discussion towards resolution or make a decisive close.

Closing a reassessment

To close a discussion, use the GANReviewTool script on the reassessment page of the article and explain the outcome of the discussion (whether there was consensus and what action was taken).

GARs typically remain open for at least one month.
Anyone may close a GAR, although discussions which have become controversial should be left for closure by experienced users or GAR coordinators.
If a clear consensus develops among participants that the issues have been resolved and the article meets GACR, the reassessment may be closed as keep at any time.
- If there is no consensus, the reassessment may also be closed as keep.
After at least one month, if the article's issues are unresolved and there are no objections to delisting, the discussion may be closed as delist. Reassessments should not be closed as delist while editors are making good-faith improvements to the article.
- If there have been no responses to the reassessment and no improvements to the article, the editor who opened the reassessment may presume a silent consensus and close as delist.
If the article has been kept, consider awarding the Good Article Rescue Barnstar to the editor(s) who contributed significantly to bringing it up to standard.

Manual closing steps

Locate {{GAR/current}} at the the reassessment page of the article. Replace it with {{subst:GAR/result|result=outcome}} ~~~~. Replace outcome with the outcome of the discussion (whether there was consensus and what action was taken) and explain how the consensus and action was determined from the comments. A bot will remove the assessment from the GA reassessment page.
The article either meets or does not meet the good article criteria:
- If the article now meets the criteria, you can keep the article listed as GA. To do this:
  - remove the {{GAR/link}} template from the article talk page
  - remove the {{GAR request}} template from the article talk page, if present
  - add or update the {{Article history}} template on the article talk page (example)
- If the article still does not meet the criteria, you can delist it. To do this,
  - remove the {{GAR/link}} template from the article talk page
  - remove the {{GAR request}} template from the article talk page, if present
  - add or update the {{Article history}} template on the article talk page, setting currentstatus to DGA (delisted good article). (example)
  - blank the class parameter of the WikiProject templates on talk, or replace it with a new assessment
  - remove the {{good article}} template from the article page (example)
  - remove the article from the relevant list at good articles (example)
Add the GAR to the most recent GAR archive page. (example)

Disputing a reassessment

A GAR closure should only be contested if the closure was obviously against consensus or otherwise procedurally incorrect. A closure should only be disputed within the first seven days following the close.
Before disputing a GAR closure, first discuss your concerns with the closing editor on their talk page.
If discussing does not resolve concerns, editors should post at Wikipedia talk:Good article nominations and ask for review from uninvolved editors and the coordinators.

Current state of affairs: I believe the rest of the "geology" paragraph is backed up by Kinny 2003 but I can't read the full text to check. Otherwise I should be able to find the few missing citations in Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry. There are some production methods listed there that I don't think are represented in the text here but I can't determine what's useful to include and what would end up repeating what has already been said. Once done with re-referencing I will add more to the leading paragraphs which are rather short. -- Recon rabbit 17:47, 6 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

There is uncited prose, including entire paragraphs and sections. At over 12,500 words, the article is too detailed and WP:TOOBIG. I recommend that information be spun out, summarised more effectively, or trimmed. The "Demographics" section needs to be updated with the 2020 census information. Z1720 (talk) 23:03, 5 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

WP:TOOBIG states that articles between 9,000 and 15,000 "Probably should be divided or trimmed, though the scope of a topic can sometimes justify the added reading material." Personally, I think the scope of this topic warrants the material. I do agree that many parts of the article could be trimmed (history paragraph in lead, history section, marine wildlife subsection, birds subsection, economy section), and sports section. I did a little bit of trimming myself, particularly in the culture section.

Refs are missing, particularly in the demographic section and regional governance subsection.

Gb321 (talk) 19:08, 6 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Gb321: Similar arguments were made for Shanghai. Editors were able to reduce it to just over 10,000 words, then I further reduced it to 8,409. Articles that are too long are less likely to be interesting to readers and make it difficult to find the most important information. I suggest spinning out large sections (like "Demographics", "Economy", "Education", "Government and politics", and "Sports and recreation" sections), reduce redundancies (WP:REDEX helps with this) and remove information that is too much detail. Z1720 (talk) 14:46, 9 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Z1720 Totally agree it can be trimmed significantly, maybe not to 8400 words but probably to under 10,000. My reply was to state that I do not think the article should be divided, but it should absolutely be trimmed significantly.

As to the sections you mention could be spun off: "Education" and "Government and Politics" don't seem that long and already have significant portions spun off; "Sports and Recreation" already has an article spun off; "Demographics" I guess could be spun off could also just be trimmed, as much of that info I personally think belongs in the main article, and "Economy" I think should be trimmed with only the COVID effects spun off, as that info doesn't need to be in the main article per WP:RECENTISM.

That's just my thoughts. I already did some trimming. Hopefully someone else can do a lot more.

An IP has requested that a GAR be opened for this article. Relevant comments include:

"This article is outdated, and its analysis in the GAR section wasn't very thorough. It has the following problems: first, there are many primary sources in both the "Gameplay" and "Plot" sections. I know that these types of sources can be used sometimes, but it should be balanced and include much more professional sources. Second, in the "Development" section, there is no mention of how the game was created, nor the destra team, or how something came about; it only mentions its release and re-releases. In short, this article has too many problems to maintain its GA status, which is why I'm including it in the GAR."

"I'd also add that the "Plot" section is unnecessarily long, as it explains in detail what happens in the game. And this shouldn't be the case, given that this is a platform game. The best thing in this case would be to summarize the plot better without having to go into obvious details."

"I must clarify for any user that, while the problems can be solved, it will take a lot of work and many sources to save the article. The "Plot" section needs a summary; it's already too long. The "Development" section should include information about how the game was created, like the Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse article on the Russian Wikipedia. I don't see the need to split the reviews into "Contemporary" and "Retrospective" sections; they should be combined for a more coherent reading. In any case, I'm republishing it on GAR because the article needs a lot of work."

"...regarding gameplay sources, I found one from VentureBeat and Sega-16 (although you can use sources from that era, such as Computer and Video Games, Sega Pro, and Console XS). As for development sources, I found the following: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] (from Newspapers.com) [6] [7]. In addition to these two items, the "plot" section also needs to be cut down, as it's too long for a platformer." ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 14:27, 23 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

A Day in the Life

I am placing this article up for GAR because I believe it contains multiple quality related issues that do not make it deserving of GA status in the modern day. I posted concerns regarding this articles GA status about a month ago (here), and my extended rationale can be found there beyond this summarization of key flaws. I intentionally waited an extended period to see if anyone would respond to the quality concerns without having to take one of the most famous and well-regarded songs of all time here. Furthermore, because of the song's status, I was worried that, as someone who works on music articles of a significantly lesser caliber, I could be missing some deeper reasoning for the article to be like this and I may not be experienced enough to make such judgments. One month later, and the only comment responding to my post was one by Binksternet (talk · contribs) which agreed with my concerns. So, here we are.

Again, a deeper rationale can be found in my initial reasoning. This is a mere summary of the big problems.

Addressing a major elephant in the room for starters, this article was promoted in 2008 when it was effectively a completely different article (the article in the state it was promoted in can be found here). This means that, arguably, the article we see before us now may as well have never been reviewed by the community proper for its quality.
The article writing is extremely fractured and doesn't flow together well. As Binksternet put it, it's a "patchwork construction with unrelated thoughts butted up together". And in my personal interpretation, it feels like this article, especially in the lyrics and musical composition sections, expects people to already know what "A Day in the Life" is. It jumps into analysis of lyrics and specific elements of the song without giving background information or describing the song. To make an article understandable to even those unfamiliar with the subject is not only a crucial aspect of writing about a work, but just about anything, if you want the article to be "good". I also think it at times delves a bit too much into trivia; does listing out all differences between the versions of the song really help anyone beyond diehard fans?
- Multiple sentences across the article do not make sense either. The two most confusing ones, to me at least, are "Crosby later expressed surprise that by 1970 the album's powerful sentiments had not been enough to stop the Vietnam War" (I presume this is refering to the legacy of Sgt. Peppers but what's that have to do with the song?) and "In a 2017 article for Newsweek, Tim de Lisle cited Chris Smith's recollection of him and fellow art student Freddie Mercury "writ[ing] little bits of songs which we linked together, like 'A Day in the Life'", as evidence to show that "No Pepper, no 'Bohemian Rhapsody'". Binksternet also brought up how the Orchestra section of the article gives this sentence: "The orchestral portions of "A Day in the Life" reflect Lennon and McCartney's interest in the work of avant-garde composers such as Karlheinz Stockhausen, Luciano Berio and John Cage.", which is followed by an explanatory footnote that talks about the Beach Boys and has nothing to do with what the note is implicitly meant to back up that sentence at face value.
There are numerous questionable approaches to section organization, such as separate Legacy and Reception sections existing, which in theory would do fully separate things for such a well regarded song, but instead bleed into each other for a rather poor reading experience. To just copy paste what I originally put, "why would we go from information about the song inspiring the start-up sound for the Macintosh, to rankings of the songs in retrospective commentary? And then why is a Grammy nomination randomly tossed into the rankings before going back to rankings? Why is retrospective commentary regarding the song the only thing given attention here beyond that Grammy? Was there no reception regarding the song at the time? I doubt that was the case. Surely there was something about the song that newspapers or critics said at the time".
- Regarding what I put for the Legacy and covers: "You'd think [the Legacy section] on paper would cover things such as the Macintosh start-up thing. But it's effectively a non-section. It covers how the song was performed by Paul McCartney, a certification, and how the original hand-written lyrics to the song were sold at auction. Was this really all of the impact the song left on the world outside of critical acclaim? This song itself is listed as a vital article, so I doubt this is all that there was". "The cover versions section borders on trivia and doesn't feel cohesive at all. Some of the entries in the list aren't even covers (e.g. the statement that David Bowie used a lyric from "A Day in the Life" is not the same as a cover). Just because it can be proven with a reliable source that a musician/band covered the song doesn't mean it's relevant for inclusion."
Multiple sourcing issues. While most are relatively minor and the article does incorporate lots of literature, it still raises eyebrows regarding quality. Genres are not sourced in the article at all, rather in the infobox (which I'd personally argue fails MOS:LEAD), while the genre of experimental rock is fully unsourced. Sites such as the open-source music production blog that corrobates information regarding the Macintosh sound effect, as well as rockcritics.com, are probably not reliable sources. Where the personnel is cited from directly, while more likely than not the liner notes, is not made explicitly clear and should have some sort of citation to signal where it comes from. Otherwise, this could be interpreted as original research. Several citation needed tags exist in the article alongside two unreliable source tags, which would result in a quickfail on its own if brought up to a modern GAN review.

I do not believe this article meets the good article criteria at present and should likely be improved drastically or demoted. I maintain that, if this article were brought to GAN today, it would fail immediately based on both sourcing and writing. If an improvement effort for this article begins here, I am willing to be involved in the ways I can. However, this song is definitely not anywhere near comparable to what I am used to working with on Wikipedia, so any significant clean-up work wouldn't be coming from me. But, in full honesty, my faith that this article could feasibly be rewritten and fixed within the confines of a GAR is low. λ NegativeMP1 00:56, 22 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This was listed as a GA in 2014. Unsurprisingly, a lot of changes have been made since then, and unfortunately a lot of the recent ones introduce problems that -- while I don't have proof -- are very characteristic of LLM use. While there is no policy against AI-generated text, the issues here are specifically the ones like editorializing, undue emphasis on symbolism, superficial analysis, etc., that imply inherent WP:OR and WP:SYNTH problems that violate Good Article criterion #2. I'm not reviewing every diff -- and can't, because a giant swath of edits from 2021-2024 has been revdelled -- but here are some with issues.

The edits by @Pwoli show consistent issues. To name a few: This one inserts a large wad of unreferenced, editorializing AI slop under the "Society and culture" section. This states that animal models play a central role in epilepsy research, an assertion of importance over other kinds of research that doesn't seem to be borne out by the source or in general. This inserts a lot of unsourced material like the assertion, with no citation, that delays in diagnosis are highlighting the importance of careful clinical assessment and appropriate use of EEG and video documentation, which may well be true but is still original research.
The 2024 edits by Saraakwong also show signs of AI use. Some of these were reverted in the edits above (which is for the best since I found a hallucination in one of them), but at least one, this, may be an overly close paraphrase of the source material, judgment call.
In general I see several uncited statements ending paragraphs. I'm not tracking down the origin because, again, it's entirely possible that I can't.

— Preceding unsigned comment added by Gnomingstuff (talk • contribs) 19:04, 9 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

A couple of comments:

Animal models are hugely important in drug research. I think that "central role" is a fair and neutral description in this case. The cited source (which, if you would like, may be fairly criticized on WP:MEDDATE grounds, being ~12.5 years old) uses words like "valuable" and "urgent" and "needed" to describe animal models. If your personal priority for epilepsy is more like prevention or figuring out how many people have it, then I could imagine animal models seeming less important to you, but within the biomedical research community, this really is of central importance. No new AEDs should realistically be expected until there are useful new animal models.
What you deride as a large wad of unreferenced, editorializing AI slop under the "Society and culture" section appears to me to be an attempt to comply with the WP:UPFRONT guideline, by giving a general summary of the long section. For example, the second sentence is People with epilepsy may experience social stigma, legal restrictions, economic disadvantage, and barriers to education and employment., and the next three subsections in this section are: "Stigma", "Economic impact", "Driving and legal restrictions". The fourth sentence says Efforts by advocacy groups and international organizations aim to improve public understanding, reduce stigma, and promote access to care and the fourth subsection is "Advocacy and support organizations". I doubt that this is best explained by assuming LLM use.
In terms of "editorializing", I don't see anything in that paragraph that isn't just the plain facts. The plain facts are that people with epilepsy sometimes do experience stigma. They do get fired from their jobs. They do get kicked out of school (maybe not in your country, but in many). They do get rejected socially. Editorializing sounds like "Society should be more supportive of people with epilepsy". Editorializing does not sound like "Social consequences, such as educational exclusion, unemployment, and social isolation, further compound the impact on quality of life". The sentence in the article is just stating the facts. There are social consequences, and those social consequences hurt people with epilepsy.

I do think this article needs work, but I don't think that "AI slop" is actually one of its faults. WhatamIdoing (talk) 18:57, 11 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Leaving aside that the entire first paragraph of this is redundant, vague, and unsourced, and that the treatment gap is mentioned twice and only defined the second time, by editorializing I mean stuff like the treatment gap underscoring the need for strengthened health systems and public health interventions, which is written from an advocacy perspective. Stating that a specific societal change is a "need" is an opinion, not a fact. Other people may have different opinions about what "the need" is: loosened regulations on pharmaceutical companies, or decoupling health insurance from employment, or research into alternative medicine, or abolishing capitalism entirely, or patiently staying the course with no policy change, or even that the treatment gaps is not a problem so no change is necessary. The same goes for cost-effective treatment strategies -- if someone can't afford treatment then by definition it's not "cost-effective" for them. Gnomingstuff (talk) 23:11, 11 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Gnomingstuff Seeing as Whatamidoing has already debunked the editorializing claim, can you expand on undue emphasis on symbolism, superficial analysis, etc., that imply inherent WP:OR and WP:SYNTH problems that violate Good Article criterion #2. Specifically can you identify the the cases of OR and SYNTH that led you to open the reassessment. I'm not sure how to help here when you haven't pointed out the inherent OR/SYNTH. IntentionallyDense ^(Contribs) 08:27, 14 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I literally just explained it. I don't know how else I am supposed to get across, for instance, the fact that stating something is a "need" is an opinion. Gnomingstuff (talk) 03:48, 15 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Okay I can see what you mean by the wording being odd (as Whatamidoing pointed out not all the odd wording is editorialization). I think the other odd wording may come from the fact that medical articles do say things like “cost effective treatment strategies” and “the need for…” and many people not well versed in medical talk then use those phrases, not understanding that the audience of a research paper is different than the audience of a wikipedia article.

Please correct me if i’m wrong here as I’m just trying to understand the issue at hand, but is your issue the odd wording (i haven’t looked at it enough to call it editorialization)? because if that’s your main concern then that’s a pretty easy fix and i can get started on that.

However you also mentioned that there is WP:OR and WP:SYNTH which you still haven’t shown evidence of. To make an claim of OR or SYNTH i’m assuming you looked at the sources and found that they did not support the claims being made, it would be helpful if you could just point out which sources and areas of text were the ones that led you to the conclusions of OR/SYNTH. I’m not asking for every instance of OR/SYNTH that you found, just whatever one led you to making that claim. IntentionallyDense ^(Contribs) 07:46, 15 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Gnomingstuff could i please get an update on this? I don’t want to get too into cleaning up the sources without knowing which ones had inappropriate SYNTH or OR attached to them. IntentionallyDense ^(Contribs) 21:28, 17 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm really sorry, as English is not my main language, I have used LLM in order to translate the things. If this had been AI slop, I would have simply copied and pasted directly from a language model. Instead, I used it as a tool to assist with rewriting, and I reviewed and adjusted the text myself. At no point did I copy and paste output directly. While I cannot provide proof of this process, I am being transparent in stating that I used the tool solely to support rewriting. Given that Whatamidoing has already debunked the claims, could we please remove the notice? You will probably think I used AI for this too, but I am just autistic and verbose. Sorry again, I am very ashamed for this whole situation. Pwoli (talk) 01:05, 15 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I never said that you needed to be ashamed of anything, I was just citing the specific diffs that I was referring to. Gnomingstuff (talk) 03:52, 15 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Pwoli didn’t ever claim that you said they needed to be ashamed either. @Pwoli seems like they were just trying to help build the encyclopedia and because of english not being their main language and maybe not realizing they needed to adjust their language for Wikipedia may have used some wording that is indicative of AI. However just because something sounds like it could be AI doesn’t mean it is (which i know you know)and since we have now gotten confirmation that they did not copy and paste from AI I am going to go ahead and remove the banner until there is some evidence of AI usage.

I was originally looking at the article seeing as it had a (now-declined) RFC, but then I noticed that the GA had a citation needed tag since October 2020, as well as some end-of-paragraphs not having a citation.

(I've never done this before so apologies if I am doing it wrong.) I believe this article was generated by AI, an issue that goes back to the first version. While the article creator has denied using AI for at least some tasks, there are just too many indicators -- and not just involving language quirks, but larger issues of puffery and synthesis. While we don't have a policy prohibiting using AI in articles, I do not think this meets Good Article standards as it currently stands, and I don't think it met them at the time either.

The bulk of the text was created in 2023 and originates in diffs like this, and much of that text still remains; citations were added later. The prose displays many tells of LLM use, particularly the ones -- e.g., undue emphasis on symbolism, editorializing, superficial analysis -- that inherently imply WP:OR and WP:SYNTH problems. There are too many examples to list here, but as an example, the article claims that a political party's choice of candidates was reflecting the ongoing discussions about religious and regional balance in politics. The source it's cited to does not mention anything about "ongoing discussion," being a largely analysis-free news update; literally, its only mention of religion is one word about the party platform. This kind of thing is just all over the place; elsewhere, the article asserts The nation's diversity is its strength, but the persistent use of such tickets can strain the delicate fabric of unity as a fact despite being an opinion attributed to no one, and the article it is cited to does not mention anything about diversity or unity, primarily mentioning media coverage and election logistics. A statement that the choice of one candidate was seen as a strategy to appeal to the northern regions is cited to a short news brief that, once again, mentions nothing even slightly related. All of this is very characteristic of trying to source synthesis after the fact.

As far as the good article criteria, WP:QF #3 doesn't count since I was the one who added the maintenance tag. But the issues above suggests the article doesn't meet criteria #2 or #4, nor did it at the time. Arguably it does not meet #1 because stuff like the nation's diverse socio-political fabric, revolves around the delicate balance, underscored the persistent debate, etc. is cliched puffery and also not concise at all (another issue brought up in the original nomination).

The lead is too short and does not cover all major aspects of the article. Meanwhile, there's an "Overview" section that could be merged with the lead and resolve this concern, but this information would need to be checked against the article body to ensure all information is cited in the article and trimmed for length concerns.

@Servite et contribuere and SnowyRiver28: I have added "citation needed" templates in the article after the phrases and paragraphs that are missing citations. These need to be resolved before I can recommend a keep designation. As for the length: the article does not need a paragraph (or multiple paragraphs) for each tour and tournament in which he participated in per year.

Whoa, I can see where citations are missing now, no idea how I didn't notice that before! Thanks for adding the tags :)

Whilst GA criteria doesn't require all citations to be absolutely perfect (it allows for some citation needed tags), I think the sheer number of them present here (roughly 40) means something is amiss. I might have a go at adding some citations to the article and I'll reply here if I make any significant progress.

As for the trimming, I do see your point about not needing such detail for tours and games, particularly when they have their own main articles. I would agree that it can be trimmed to only include detail that is important and specific to the subject, and that content that describes the game or series on a more general scale can be removed and left for its main article.

Hilaria is featured in The Baldwins, but this article only has one line about it in the lead. Information about her involvement with the show should be added to the Career section. When looking for sources, I found an event in 2021 where Hilaria was interupted by/interupted her husband at a red carpet event. Many pop culture news outlets covered the event, but this article does not have information about it. I suggest that this be mentioned in the article. There doesn't seem to be much post-2019 career information. Besides The Baldwins mentioned above, is there other information to add here? Some unreliable sources are used in the article like Meaww, Hola! and New York Post. These should be replaced by reliable source. The lead does not summarise all major aspects of the article.

an event in 2021 where Hilaria was interupted by/interupted her husband at a red carpet event. Seems like that event would fall under WP:NOTNEWS/WP:NOTDIARY. Some1 (talk) 02:00, 10 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Some1: When I did a search for sources, this event was mentioned by several sources: some included critical commentary as a possible example (or how it should not be an example) of Mansplaining/manturupting (sources: [10], [11], [12].) I think the extensive coverage of the event means this should be mentioned in the article.

Also worth noting that Baldwin is a contestant on the upcoming season of Dancing with the Stars so information about that will also need to be added to the article. Z1720 (talk) 17:08, 14 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Toronto Sun (your first link) is a tabloid newspaper, and the other two sources don't constitute "extensive coverage". I agree with you, though, that her being a contestant on the upcoming season of DWTS should be mentioned in the article and am actually surprised that it hasn't been added yet (I had actually came to this article because of the DWTS cast reveal!). I'll get the DWTS stuff added to the article. Some1 (talk) 17:27, 14 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Some1: Are you willing to expand the lead so it covers all major aspects of the article? Z1720 (talk) 00:11, 9 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry Z1720, but I'm not really interested in editing this article. As mentioned earlier, I had only visited the Baldwin article because of the DWTS 34 cast reveal. I had also overlooked that this discussion was part of a GA reassessment when I initially commented (through the Baldwin talk page), so this is my last comment here--good luck with the GA reassessment! :) Some1 (talk) 00:44, 9 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Uncited statements, including most of the "2007 mini-tour releases" section. Z1720 (talk) 15:39, 27 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delist – I know it's early to say but I'm honestly surprised this became a GA to begin with. The reviewed version was practically the same as it is now. However, the entire "2007 minitour releases" section was absent: I assume that was merged into here from a previously deleted page. Even without that though, critical reception has only had one review in prose since its promotion (unacceptable even by 2013 Wikipedia standards); the general prose, although thoroughly sourced, isn't exactly sourced by quality ones. The article realistically needs a complete overhaul to keep GA status by today's standards, and I don't have the interest in doing so. – zmbro _{(talk) (cont)} 19:59, 27 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I've taken some time to look over this article. I have significant expansion prepared for the critical reception section which will be implemented tonight. Unfortunately, the unreliable sourcing present in this article is rather pervasive, particularly variants of the one zmbro listed above. I don't have the energy or ambition to fix that much. An aside, most of that mini-tour stuff could probably be axed, but not all of it. mftp dan ^oops 00:03, 9 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Update: I've added all but one of the existing table reviews into the article's reception section. PopMatters I'll need to think on how I want to fit that one in, but it's one I'd like for sure. It also probably could be organized better per WP:RECEPTION, but the main objective here was expansion and I've done just that. (Many more reviews from reputable publications exist for this article which hadn't already been included, I haven't considered these yet or if they're better than what's there at the moment. The ones initially present are perfectly acceptable.) mftp dan ^oops 02:50, 9 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Uncited statements, including entire paragraphs. Article is over 11,000 words and could be summarised more effectively. Demographic information is from 2011 and needs to be updated. "Sites of interest" section seems to have a promotional tone. Z1720 (talk) 14:24, 27 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Z1720, There's a lot of work to be done on this. I will chip in as soon as I've finished getting another UK delisted GA done (currently waiting on the reviewer's close). Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 01:01, 28 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I've already given the lead a very brief CE, and updated the Wikilinks. However:

• It is verbose, the language is not sufficiently succinct

• It contains too much detail that should be in the body (the lead should summarise what is to come in the article)

IMO this probably reflects much of the style of the rest of the article. See a snapshot of its its listing as GA in February 2019. A further 539 new edits made since. Although the article has not been delisted, the scope of the work to be done is possibly as much as a full GAN. I'm not the assessor but for anyone who also wishes to help out, I'm posting this basic GAN checklist of possible items to be addressed. If you make any improvements, to avoid duplication or edit conflicts please add a {{done}}, or {{fixed}} or a {{doing}} template, plus a brief description and your signature (~~~~). Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 03:25, 28 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

There is massive duplication in the lead and the main sections. There is so much detail in the history it would be preferable to split it off into a separate page History of Berkhamsted, and leave a shorter, summarised history in the parent article. There is no miniumm size requirement for GA and with a little bit of work this article will retain its GA status. As a consequence, I have removed the huge history from the lead and redistributed its parts to the relevant history sub sections. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 19:22, 28 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Dormskirk, thank you enormously for addressing all those sources and updating them. The demography section is proving to be quite a challenge because first of all it is vastly over-detailed for a Wikipedia article and I'm not sure all the house price information is strictly relevant. - what do you think?

Secondly, the ONS has changed their format of reporting census information and in their endeavour to make it more transparent, and providing new tools, they have made it harder to use. I am working offline on completely rewriting the section which I will add as soon as possible but RL is getting in the way at the moment. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 21:27, 26 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi - I would be pretty ruthless in removing any remaining poorly sourced material (as well as the over-detailed house price data). Best wishes, Dormskirk (talk) 21:38, 26 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This article, which was promoted in 2009, has since then accumulated a number of maintenance tags related to uncited material, with several of those tags dating back to 2010 and 2011. In its present state, the article does not meet the WP:Good article criteria (in particular, 2b).

I've added citations for all of the tags. FlairTale (talk) 02:43, 5 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I am always wary of adding citations to uncited material—as opposed rewriting and adding citations—as experience shows that it is often something of a cosmetic fix. A brief spot-check reveals that this is also the case in this instance. Citing Wikisource:Comic book code of 1954 for the statement To address public concerns, in 1954 the Comics Code Authority was created to regulate and curb sex, drugs and violence in comics, marking the start of a new era. is not adequate. Likewise, the source added to the passage Ajax/Farrell Publishing's 1954–55 revival of the Phantom Lady; Strong Man, published by Magazine Enterprises in 1955; Charlton Comics' Nature Boy, introduced in March 1956, and its revival of the Blue Beetle the previous year; and Atlas Comics' short-lived revivals of Captain America, the Human Torch, and the Sub-Mariner, beginning in Young Men Comics #24 (December 1953). In the United Kingdom, the Marvelman series was published from 1954 to 1963, substituting for the British reprints of the Captain Marvel stories after Fawcett stopped publishing the character's adventures. only covers the Marvelman stuff. Those are just the first two newly-added citations I checked. TompaDompa (talk) 11:02, 6 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

A few checks later, it is obvious that there are still massive sourcing issues here. TompaDompa (talk) 11:56, 6 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I might also add that the "Collectibility" section contains a list of various magazine issues (presumably collectibles) without any clear inclusion criteria for that particular selection of issues. TompaDompa (talk) 15:56, 7 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Aside from the paragraph about counterculture (which I am in the process of rewriting) all remaining failed verification tags have sources that verify exactly what they say, such as the population grow and science/magic sources for example. FlairTale (talk) 05:23, 23 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The cited sources for the parts tagged as failing verification do not verify that particular content, hence the tags. This source does not say that this rise [in juvenile crime statistics] was shown to be in direct proportion to population growth as our article does, it says that The juvenile delinquence rate is not increasing. It is decreasing, and has been decreasing for the past 5 years (i.e. the second half of the 1940s). Likewise, this source does not verify [science-based explanations for superhero phenomena and origins in the Silver Age were] inspired by contemporary science fiction or the Golden Age, which commonly relied on magic or mysticism [to explain superhero phenomena and origins] on the cited page, it only says about the Silver Age that This age of superheroes was primarily of the Science type. The reworked versions of JSA with the Flash and Green Lantern had more scientific than magical underpinnings. This also includes the Marvel Silver Age [...]. As I keep making spot-checks, I keep finding instances where the article goes beyond what the cited sources say (and other kinds of issues—I have added some tags). The "Collectibility" section, as noted, has no clear inclusion criteria, and when I spot-checked a sample of the cited sources in that section they did not verify that the issues in question are collectibles. TompaDompa (talk) 21:30, 23 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'll state for the record that my position is (still) that this should be delisted. There are issues relating to sourcing that mean that the article does not meet the WP:Good article criteria, and it does not appear that it is being actively worked on.

The "Evolution of criteria" and "Revocation" sections have long bullet point paragraphs that is difficult to read, especially on mobile. These should be broken up with headings, summarised and trimmed of excess detail, and split into paragraphs. There is an "outdated" orange banner at the top of the "Legal protection" section.

He earned the Medal during the Battle of Fort Wagner, but was not presented with it until 1900., fourth text about double medals, fifth text about uncle-and-nephew recipients. The final section should be removed as it is redundant to the hatnote at the top of the page. 🐔 Chicdat ^{Bawk to me!} 10:46, 25 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I've been trying to correct all the deficiencies and bring the article up to par. On the MoH Roll claim, the citations in the text are sufficient (no need to list the same section of the US code as a footnote when it's already there and hyperlinked).

In re: "2013," earlier dates also reference the Stolen Valor Act, since it was substantially overruled by SCOTUS and then a new bill was passed into law with the same name. So probably could add it to the header but would have to clarify that you're talking about the 2005 versus 2013 version of the act, which of course is materially different.

In re: Carney, I added several citations to support those claims. Foxtrot5151 (talk) 17:56, 9 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

"Curator" of the article here. Won't argue any of that in the slightest. It's been a decade and a lots of material has been added since.

Mac Dreamstate (talk) 17:51, 17 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Mac Dreamstate: Spinning out the "History" section might be good if the article on its own would be notable (I suspect that it is). I usually prefer subject-interested editors to review the article's prose first because they often have a better sense of what is the most important information. However, I think spinning out/reducing the amount of text in the History section will probably solve most of the too-detailed concerns. Z1720 (talk) 19:53, 17 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Cool. I'll get to work on that. Also, could you point to the paragraphs of uncited text—those should be easy to fix. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 19:56, 18 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Mac Dreamstate: I have added citation needed templates to the article. Z1720 (talk) 20:27, 18 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Mac Dreamstate: Maybe it should be considered to move some of the content from the "Rules and technique" and "Scoring and judging" sections to the Ski jumping article? Since most of it applies to both ski jumping and ski flying, and the coverage on these topics in the other article is less detailed. Rewording the Ski flying article in such a way that the common regulations are only roughly outlined and the focus is given to the key differences. Maybe it would prove to be more friendlier than laying out every detail of the combined regulations in a unified fashion? Dżamper (talk) 11:55, 3 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That could work as well. At the time of writing, I was more enthusiastic about fleshing out the ski flying article to notice that the ski jumping article was sparse in comparison, and written—in part—by non-English speakers. What I'll focus on first is addressing all the cite tags, then creating the History article, and finally seeing what I can do about transplanting some of the Rules and techniques content to the ski jumping article. I will say, however, that a lot of the techniques described are specific to ski flying, so it's not a simple copy-and-paste job. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 14:41, 3 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Another suggestion, having dealt with a decent amount of cite tags: rather than create a separate history article, would it be sufficient for bringing the page size down if the content from the abovementioned Rules and techniques section (as well as Scoring and judging) were instead incorporated into the ski jumping article? I'd much rather summarise the latter than write up new truncated prose for the current History section. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 22:34, 5 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Mac Dreamstate: Yes, information can be moved to ski jumping if it is appropriate to do so, as that article is not very large right now. Z1720 (talk) 23:24, 10 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I'll continue on that. I certainly haven't been trying to stall to game the system or anything like that. It's just been a busy few months, and it is a lot of content to sift through.

First, this article has already been reduced in size, to allign with the Presidency of Dwight D. Eisenhower article.

Articles should be detailed, supplied by reliable sources. Important issues such a civil rights, prosecution of the Klu Klux Klan, should have detail. Both Grant and Eisenhower, deserve equal importance and equal size. As far as sources, not used in the article, I have no issue with them being removed.

@Cmguy777: Wikipedia is a general knowledge encyclopedia, and not all details will be included in an article. If the level of detail is important, the information can be spun out into a child-article. WP:DETAIL outlines examples of how much detail an article should have, and states that "Some readers need a lot of details on one or more aspects of the topic (links to full-sized separate subarticles)." The last part, linking to separate articles, might be what is best for some aspects of this article. WP:TOOBIG outlines that articles should probably be less than 9,000 words: at 14,000, this article far exceeds that. In a GAR, the current article version is evaluated on its adherence to the GA criteria and does not consider how much work has been done to an article, or how much it has been improved. The Eisenhower article is not a GA, so it is hard to compare the qualities (and size) of those two articles for this GAR. Z1720 (talk) 17:29, 9 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Of course, articles can be spun out. You have not mentioned anything specifically you want changed. What is it exactly you want changed? Again, I have substantially reduced this article before. Is there an exact rule of how long articles should be such as 9,000 words or less. What does "should probably be less" mean ? Anymore reduction in this article would reduce the reliability and needed context of the article, imo. Grant has a lot of biographers and biographies. Renewed interest has been taken in Grant's life, generalship, and presidency. Charles W. Calhouns (2017) book on Grant's presidency has 593 pages. What specific areas of the article do you find too long? Cmguy777 (talk) 19:32, 9 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Many notable people and topics have books that are hundreds or thousands of pages long. WP:TOOBIG has useful rules of thumb for article size. I usually do not recommend specifics at the beginning because I want to give a chance for subject-matter experts to make recommendations first. Since I have been asked, here are some suggestions:

In general, I recommend that a subject-matter expert do a copy edit of the entire article and remove redundant text, off-topic information about others, and sumarise text more effectively when possible.
First Presidency:
- "Financial policy" Suffers from MOS:OVERSECTION. I suggest these paragraphs be merged and extra/too detailed information be placed in the appropriate article.
- "Failed annexation of Santo Domingo (Dominican Republic)" could be too detailed and possibly trimmed.
- "Native American policy" also suffers from MOS:OVERSECTION and, if the paragraphs are merged together, information can be spun out to the appropriate articles.
- "Domestic policy" also suffers from OVERSECTION and not as much detail is needed for all of these individual aspects (especially the "Holidays law")
Second Presidency:
- "Vicksburg riots" and "South Carolina 1876" spend at least a paragraph explaining the conflict before mentioning Grant. While a brief introduction is appropriate, too much space is given to this off-topic information and this article should focus on Grant's actions and policies.
- "Foreign policy" suffers from OVERSECTION with the last three paragraphs: these should be merged and summarised.
- "Reforms and scandals" Lots of oversection, it is better to merge the information and give a wikilink than have a whole paragraph explaining each topic.
- "States admitted to the Union", "Vetoes" and "Government agencies instituted" can be moved to the part of the article most appropriate to his presidency. "Memorials and monuments" can be moved to Grant's main article.

This is not an exhaustive list, and there can of course be disagreement. None of this negates the uncited paragraphs in the article, which also need to be resolved. Z1720 (talk) 20:05, 9 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Many of those spin off articles have not been created. The Presidency of Barack Obama article 13,915 words. I found that on XTools. Is this correct? You can verify that. The Holidays Laws is important. They are national holidays created by Grant and congress. This article can be improved. You are free to make edits to the article. Cmguy777 (talk) 20:22, 9 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Cmguy777: Yes, Presidency of Barack Obama is 13,000 long. No, it is also not a GA. This process is to evaluate an article against the GA criteria. If the article topic is notable, any editor can make a new article and place information there. I will not be making edits to this article as I am busy with many on-and-off wiki tasks. I am happy to support those who do want to make those edits and will re-review if pinged. Z1720 (talk) 20:34, 9 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
This article passed GA in the past. Yes. There is room for improvement, and thanks for the specifics. I just don't think it necessary to take away the GA status, when in the past it was given GA status, by whatever standard(s) was(were used) at the time. Improvements can be made to the article without removing the GA, imo. I have made past reductions to the article, found in the talk page, to improve the article. Grant's Native American policy, reforms and scandals, have been made into spinoff articles. Probably, the next spin off article should be Grant's Foreign policy. Grant's presidency was different. He was elected and served two consecutive terms in office, that would not be repeated until the election of Woodrow Wilson. Thank you. Cmguy777 (talk) 21:25, 9 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Cmguy777: An article will not be delisted if improvements are ongoing and concerns addressed. My concerns are listed above. The GAR will assess the article against the current criteria, not the criteria that was in place when it was passed. Z1720 (talk) 21:49, 9 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
This article has been significantly been reduced in size, before. Your concerns are noted. What about editor concensus? These objections seem to be only your objections focused specifically on Grant, not other Presidents. You also seem to be requiring other spin off articles to be made on Grant's domestic and financial policies. The Santo Domingo annexation was very important to Grant. It was also a drama between Grant and Charles Sumner, who would control the Republican Party. Some leeway should be allowed in that section on article length, since this article focuses on Grant's Presidency. When you say "delisted", are you saying removal of the article from Wikipedia? Cmguy777 (talk) 15:49, 10 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Cmguy777: When I say "delisted", I am saying that the article will no longer be designated as a "good article". It will still be a Wikipedia article regardless of whether it is delisted or not. Z1720 (talk) 15:52, 10 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. I can work on the annexation of Santo Domingo (Dominican Republic) section. That was a primary initiative to the Grant Administration. Cmguy777 (talk) 16:34, 10 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I reworked first term foreign policy introduction and the the Santo Domingo section. Does that look alright? Thank you. Cmguy777 (talk) 19:16, 22 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I have not had any reply yet. Please reply. Thanks. Cmguy777 (talk) 05:00, 28 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Cmguy777, you may find it better in the future to WP:PING Z1720, as I have now done. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 12:21, 7 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Cmguy777: I am sorry that I did not respond sooner. AJ29 is correct: pinging me is a better way to ensure that I respond. I have done a deep read of the first paragraph of "Foreign policy" and the "Attempted annexation of Santo Domingo" sections. They have improved from where they were before, and the comments below are what I think need to happen next to bring them to GA quality.

"Grant was a man of peace" I don't know what this means because I don't know much about him. I think this should be removed, and instead the paragraph can describe what this means later on.
"Besides Grant himself, the main players in foreign affairs..." This is an instance where the article starts going off-topic. Later in the paragraph, it starts describing Fish's work. I think this parargaph should focus on what Grant did and what he did with foreign policy. If Grant was hands-off and let Fish run everything, then that should be explained. If Grant focused on specific issues, that should be explained in this paragraph. Describing the major players of Grant's administration is important, but their contributions should to be connected to Grant's presidency more explicitly.
"He tried to annex the Caribbean country of the Dominican Republic as a safety valve for them." Safety valve feels like an idiom to me, and I don't know what that means in this context. Is Grant buying DR to bring Black people to the location? Was he trying to have DR become part of the USA? This should be explained.
"Republican Senator Charles Sumner opposed Grant, believing he sided with men of financial interest." Why is this important to state in this article? I think it can be deleted.
In the second paragraph, there is information about the annexation of DR. This makes the first paragraph redundant, and I think it can be removed.
I made lots of cuts as I was reading. Feel free to take a look and reverse any changes. However, with the length of the article I think some of these changes were helpful to reduce the word count, and I would continue having cuts like this in other parts of the article.

I hope the above helps editors with ideas on how to improve other sections of the article. There are still uncited statements in other spots and I highly recommend a thorough copy-edit and trimming of off-topic information before a re-review is requested, and I think this article needs some more work before I could recommend that it keeps its GA status. Feel free to ping me with questions or comments. Z1720 (talk) 05:45, 8 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your comments. I am for reducing article narration, but not at the expense of loosing valued content. Also, I am for going by what the sources say. As far as Santo Domingo goes, Grant was the main leader behind annexation. I readded information that Grant appointed Frederick Douglas. Apparently, Grant wanted both to make Santo Domingo a state and to serve as a refuge for blacks. Douglas supported the annexation. Cmguy777 (talk) 15:54, 8 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Cmguy777: The content doesn't need to be lost: it can be moved to other articles whose scope is narrower. Too much prose stops readers from finding the most important information and discourages them from reading any part of the article. Prose cannot include everything that the sources say as articles are written in summary style. The information described above cannot be explained here: it needs to be explained in the article.

Regarding Frederick Douglass: the article does not describe who he is or why he is important until "Election of 1872". If Douglass is to be included in the "Attempted annexation of Santo Domingo" section, the importance of his appointment needs to be explained there. Otherwise, it is just WP:TRIVIA: a miscellaneous fact that the reader does not need to know to understand the importance of this event in Grant's presidency. My preference is to remove this sentence, and trivia prose similar to this in other places in the article. Z1720 (talk) 20:39, 8 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The importance? Frederick Douglas was a leading spokes person for black rights. Historian Jean Edward Smith, Grant, on page 505, mentioned Grant appointing Douglas secretary of the Santo Domingo commission. Do you have that book?. I do. I don't feel appreciated in this article. I should not have to defend every edit made on this article. I am only going by what Smith said. Removing important content will affect the neautrality of the article. I also feel there may be underlying hostility toward Grant, or people don't believe his presidency was that important. I just go by what the sources say. Cmguy777 (talk) 04:52, 10 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Cmguy777: If Douglass is to be included in this section of the Wikipedia article, the Wikipedia article needs to explain who this person is and why he is important to mention here. In other words, if the information is important, the Wikipedia article needs to explain its importance. A reader should not have to go to the source to get that information. Z1720 (talk) 05:50, 10 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Here is a link that explains Douglas and Santo Domingo. His appointment by Grant represented black progress, that was part of the "new" for blacks. [13] Cmguy777 (talk) 07:21, 10 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Cmguy777: The source looks good to add. The information needs to be explained and added to the Wikipedia article, not this page. Z1720 (talk) 14:48, 10 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It would best to add in a add in a note that Douglas was a prominent African Amercian, who was primarily known for work as an abolitionist. Cmguy777 (talk) 17:56, 10 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delist. The current format of giving every little detail its own level-4 section is definitely excessive. For one example, there are 224 words dedicated to the Civil Rights Act of 1875. Half of that paragraph has nothing to do with Grant. The parts that do pertain to Grant include a quotation that could be replaced with a concise statement, as well as a line straight up telling the reader the paragraph is not that relevant: "Grant had no role in writing the Civil Rights Act of 1875 but he did sign it a few days before the Republicans lost control of Congress." Thebiguglyalien (talk) 🛸 22:46, 8 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The Civil Rights Act of 1875 was ground breaking. The first in U.S. History. And yes, Grant signed it into law. Grant was the president and deserves credit for signing the legislation into law. Cmguy777 (talk) 04:59, 10 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delist This article has been open for over a month and a half, and there are still significant paragraphs without citations. The length concerns also still remain. Work seems to have stalled, and it might be better if the article is worked on without the pressure of GAR, and nominated at GAN when it is ready. Z1720 (talk) 00:58, 1 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I felt I have been the only one who has working on this article. Wikipedia is suppose to be a group editor editing. It's not one editor giving orders. I don’t agree GA should be removed. I felt I have been doing allot of the editing, trying to comply with "suggested" changes. Also, no one ever told me whether my changes were good enough. I hope there is no personal bias against Grant in any delisting process. I stopped editing because there was no positive feed back on my previous edits. That is not my fault. I believe the article is a good article too. It should not be delisted. This article well referenced. There needs to be more editors working on the article. Reducing article size should not reduce content. Cmguy777 (talk) 20:20, 9 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Did the Santo Domingo section clean up meet your approval? I need that type of feed back. I have the Grant biographies by Chernow, Smith, and White. I have the two Grant presidential biographies by Calhoun and Kahan. I believe my sources are reliable and trustworthy. Thank you. Cmguy777 (talk) 03:59, 10 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Cmguy777: Thanks for following up. Wikipedia is supposed to be the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit. Some articles are written by a single editor and some are written by a group. We are all volunteers and can choose where to edit: I have neither the interest nor the time to fully commit to improving this article. However, I am willing to give feedback to ongoing work. The best way to ensure that I reply is to ping me. However, I do not have the time to give constant feedback, and it is easier for me to evaluate whole sections or the whole article at once. More information on the GA criteria can be found at WP:GA?.

Regarding the Santo Domingo section: I did a copyedit of the section and it seems fine. I would suggest a similar exercise happen throughout the entire article. Afterwards, editors can reevaluate the article's length and determine if more needs to be spun out to other articles. Z1720 (talk) 14:05, 10 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Z1720: Hello. I am all for copy editing, as long a content is retained in the article. Are there any sections you find too long or specifically need improving ? Thank you. Cmguy777 (talk) 20:15, 10 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Cmguy777: As stated above, the whole article needs a copyedit to remove redundancies and summarise the prose more effectively. For example, "Foreign policy" has its own section that gives more detail on this subject: much of this section's inforamtion can be moved to that article, with this article focusing on the most important aspects. There are also lots of subsections that are quite short, like "Pratt & Boyd", "Hawaiian free trade treaty" or "Liberian-Grebo war" (this is not an exhaustive list). In general, per MOS:OVERSECTION if a section is a paragraph long, it should be merged with other sections. This merging might also help with summarising information as information can be moved to other articles or redundancies can be trimmed. Z1720 (talk) 20:48, 10 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. How do my copy edits look in the article? Has the article narration improved? Cmguy777 (talk) 18:53, 23 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Cmguy777: Yes, the article has improved. No, I am not ready to re-review because there are uncited statements and the article is still too big. Z1720 (talk) 20:10, 23 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Z1720: Thank you. I believe the article can be trimmed more. I think the beginning of the Article looks good and reads well. Can you please be more specific on the "uncited" parts of the article? There are references throughout. Are you saying every sentence needs to be referenced? Cmguy777 (talk) 03:27, 25 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Cmguy777: I have added "citation needed" templates to the article, and there were already some in the article before I started tagging. At a minimum, there needs to be a citation at the end of every paragraph (except in the lead, and some other exceptions). Resolving these tags is also a good opportunity to see if the text is needed in the article and if it can be summarised more effectively. The article also has MOS:OVERSECTION concerns, with numerous short, one-paragraph sections that make the article look like a list in some sections (such as in the "Financial policy" section). Consider merging sections like this and removing the level 3 headings. Z1720 (talk) 15:38, 28 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Z1720: Thank you. I can look into adding citations. There are a lot more books, and Grant, I can find the right citation. I will look into the Financial Policy section for possible merging of sections. Does the Santo Domingo section look alright? Thanks. Cmguy777 (talk) 01:01, 30 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yes the Santo Domingo section looks fine. Z1720 (talk) 01:17, 30 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Z1720: Thank you. Can you please be more specific which sections, by name, need to shorter? Cmguy777 (talk) 08:34, 6 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Cmguy777: Below are suggestions, based on a quick skim of the article. I am going to let interested editors make the final decisions on what can be moved, spun out and summarised to get the article under 9,000 words per WP:TOOBIG. I also suggest removing headings per MOS:OVERSECTION. Section names are in quotation marks:

"Force Acts of 1870 and 1871": Reduce the size
"Financial policy": Remove level 3 headings, remove extra detail
"Foreign policy": Reduce prose size
"Native American policy": Remove level 3 headings, reduce prose size
"Domestic policy": Remove all level 3 headings

""Holidays law": Cut this. I do not think this is one of the most important things to include about his presidency.
"Yellowstone created": Cut most or all of this. Only the creation of the park needs to be mentioned: the rest is too much detail for this article.
"Reconstruction continued" Reduce prose
"Foreign policy" Remove level 3 headings, reduce text (especially in the former "Virginus incident" section
"Midterm election 1874": Cut most of this: it is too much detail.
"Reforms and scandals" Anything that was not caused by Grant directly should be removed. Not every federal scandal needs to be explained in this article.
"Centennial Exposition" Cut this: too much detail.

"Election of 1876": cut this. Does not directly concern his presidency.

"Third term attempt 1880" Cut this. It does not concern his presidency.

I will not be participating in improving the article, but am willing to review when the article is ready, everything is cited, and the article is under 9,000 words. Feel free to ping me when ready. Z1720 (talk) 21:14, 8 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Z1720: Thank you for the specific areas where the article should be reduced in size. The WP:TOOBIG section does say, "> 9,000 words || Probably should be divided or trimmed, though the scope of a topic can sometimes justify the added reading material." I will leave that as it is for now, but subjects such as Indian Policy and Reconstruction, may need higher levels of explanations. Cmguy777 (talk) 04:53, 9 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Z1720 OK, that book ended up being a dud, so I finished off updating claims on state legalization of recreational cannabis using news sites.

@ViridianPenguin: Sorry for the delay, I was reviewing another article. Uncited text is resolved. Oversection concerns still remain: these one-paragraph sections should be merged together into larger sections. No sourcing or WP:RS concerns. Z1720 (talk) 01:28, 28 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I have added a sentence on the Narcotics Control Act of 1956 to avoid the only instance of a one-sentence section, but I do not think any further section merging is possible. I united all the recent ballot measure and legislative legalization of recreational cannabis into two sections, but all of the remaining short sections are reasonably distinct from one another. For example, Biden's 2022 and 2023 cannabis-related pardons are highly significant in the legal history of cannabis in the United States, but there is nothing else in the "Non-medical use" section to neatly merge it with. Thus where MOS:OVERSECTION instructs that "short paragraphs and single sentences generally do not warrant their own subheadings," I believe this timeline-based article is a rare exception where major events deserve inclusion, yet not more detail to avoid article bloating.
