Initial review by Drilnoth (talk · contribs)
- It is reasonably well written.
- a (prose):
b (MoS):
- The prose needs a good copyedit... I made a few changes, but quite a bit of it is just kind of unclear or the sentence structure is awkward. I'd recommend either going through it line-by-line or making a request at WP:GOCE.
- I just did a once over.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 03:35, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

- a (prose):
- It is factually accurate and verifiable.
- a (references):
b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
- I'm concerned about the reliability of [1]. It looks like an encyclopedia... a tertiary source, and generally discouraged. If you can find better citations for those points, that would be great.
Done
- The Encyclopedia of Chicago is an extremely well-accepted source here on WP.
Prairie Avenue and South Side (Chicago) both rely heavily on it. I have dozens of GAs that rely on it. It has never even been questioned before. Instead of having a few authors and editors each article is compiled by the specialist on that topic.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 03:02, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

- a (references):
- It is broad in its coverage.
- a (major aspects): b (focused):
- It seems focused mostly on pre 1948. Washington Park has history 1948 to now. The 60s produced notable activists and leaders through churches and TWO (which is where I had contact). Maybe the title could have added "the Early Years" or similar to accurately describe the scope of the article. I'd love to see a follow on article that describes it when I've known it.
- a (major aspects):
- It follows the neutral point of view policy.
- Fair representation without bias:
- Fair representation without bias:
- It is stable.
- No edit wars etc.:
- No edit wars etc.:
- It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
- a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
- a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales):
- Overall:
- Pass/Fail:
- I'm putting this review on hold for seven days for copyediting. Overall, I found the article to be nicely written and comprehensive, with good sourcing.
- I'm passing this now; the copyedit resolved most of my concerns. Good work, and I hope all goes well on the Good topic! -Drilnoth (talk) 03:44, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
