GA review (see here for criteria)

---

I will be reviewing your article. It clearly represents a lot of work.

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

   Why is the Bland-Allison Act separated by a hyphen sometimes and a ndash other times?

   Please reword: "In the early 1960s, a large amount of uncirculated Morgan dollars were found to be available from the Treasury vaults for face value." Sale at face value is a separate idea.

   In the Production Section, capitalize "Act" before [14].

   "Cleveland, who believed that the Panic of 1893 was caused by the Sherman act, called the session in order to repeal the provisions of the Sherman Silver Purchase Act.[23]"->"Cleveland, who believed that the Panic of 1893 was caused by the Sherman Silver Purchase Act, called the session in order to repeal it.[23]" - Please avoid calling it the "Sherman act" to avoid confusion with the better known antitrust law.

   Perhaps change "as a coin to commemorate peace." -> " as a coin to commemorate the end of World War I."?

   "conducted a total of seven between"->" conducted a total of seven sales between" or were they auctions?

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

   Why is this sentence relevant, " On July 23, 1965, the Coinage Act of 1965 was approved.[32] The act eliminated all silver in the dime and quarter dollar, and reduced the silver in the half dollar from ninety percent to forty percent.[33]" ?

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

   no edit wars.

6. 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):

   In File:Philadelphia, Mint coining press, from Robert N. Dennis collection of stereoscopic views.png, I don't understand why you feel that this photo is in the public domain. Perhaps the wrong template is being used. Do you know when the photo was first published? If it was before 1923 you can use a different template to claim expiration of copyright.

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

Thanks for the review! I believe I've addressed all of your concerns. I don't know the exact date of the card, but I know it's before 1923, so I added a PD-US tag.-RHM22 (talk) 17:46, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
