Literal copy

edit

This article appeared to be mostly copied verbatim from the National Park Service website on Chatham Manor. While government documents are in the public domain, this seems unusual for Wikipedia. Additional sources would be welcome.--Parkwells (talk) 20:36, 11 April 2009 (UTC)Reply

I'm glad this article is up for GA status, and probably can't review it for that status as needed because my changes in 2015 and 2016 removed this problem. IMHO, I don't believe the Virginia Low-importance tag deserved, for the reasons I stated in the revised lede.Jweaver28 (talk) 14:56, 27 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

Hello. Thank you for submitting this article to Good Articles Nominations. Unfortunately, I will have to quick fail this review due to Wikipedia:Good article criteria#Immediate failures per #1 "It is a long way from meeting any one of the six good article criteria". Specifically, this article is a long way from passing criteria #2 Verifiable with no original research. Here is a summary of the verification issues, sorted by ones that have are partially cited and ones that have no citations.

Parts that are partially cited and missing citations

edit
  • Antebellum: Last sentence of 2nd paragraph.
  • Slavery at Chatham: Last sentence of 6th paragraph, most of last paragraph.
  • Postwar years: Most of last paragraph.

Parts that have no citations

edit
  • Antebellum: 1st and 4th paragraph
  • Slavery at Chatham: 1st and 2nd paragraph.
  • American Civil War: 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 6th, 7th and last paragraph.
  • Postwar years: 3rd, 4th and 5th paragraph

Overall, I'm mostly concerned about the 13 paragraphs that have no citations. With the American Civil War and Postwar years sections alone, these 2 sections have 9 uncited paragraphs. There are also 2 uncited paragraphs each in the Antellum and Slavery at Chatham sections.

In terms of partially cited sections, Antebellum, Slavery at Chatham and Postwar years have uncited sentences. Of these 3 sections, Slavery at Chatham and Postwar years have a paragraph each that are mostly uncited. There is also an uncited sentence each at Antebellum (2nd para) and Slavery at Chatham (6th para). As there are many paragraphs that have zero citations, I will have to quick fail this nomination as this article is a long way from passing criteria #2 Verifiable with no original research.

I hope this review does not discourage you from improving this article. Please feel free to read Wikipedia:Good article criteria to find out what Good Article reviewers are looking for in a nomination. Thank you for nominating this article to Good Article Nominations! :) --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 18:29, 1 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
