Hello, Doug. I'll be reviewing all the Plankinton articles within the current GAN Backlog Drive and will use the checklist above to register progress. Hope to provide some feedback soon. No Great Shaker (talk) 04:33, 1 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

On hold[edit]

More citations are needed in the background section, though some of the existing sources may well provide them. I'm not sure if "Background" is the best heading for that entire section as it is essentially about the construction and usage of the property. One minor point is that City of Milwaukee Historic Preservation Commission is red-linked and this should perhaps be unlinked unless an article will be created in the foreseeable future.

Done --Doug Coldwell (talk) 15:03, 5 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It's a short article but I'm satisfied that its breadth of coverage is satisfactory. It meets most of the criteria already and, if the citations can be completed, I'm confident it will pass. Interesting read, especially as it became a hospital annex for critical cases. On hold for now, but no rush. No Great Shaker (talk) 14:22, 2 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@No Great Shaker: All issues have been addressed. Can you take another look. Thanks. --Doug Coldwell (talk) 15:03, 5 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Passed[edit]

That's fine now, Doug. Am promoting to GA. All the best and keep safe. No Great Shaker (talk) 19:58, 5 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright contributor investigation and Good article reassessment[edit]

This article is part of Wikipedia:Contributor copyright investigations/20210315 and the Good article (GA) drive to reassess and potentially delist over 200 GAs that might contain copyright and other problems. An AN discussion closed with consensus to delist this group of articles en masse, unless a reviewer opens an independent review and can vouch for/verify content of all sources. Please review Wikipedia:Good article reassessment/February 2023 for further information about the GA status of this article, the timeline and process for delisting, and suggestions for improvements. Questions or comments can be made at the project talk page. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 09:37, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
