Your GA nomination of Tudor City

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Tudor City you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period.

This is a detailed review of the "Tudor City" article, nominated for Good Article (GA) status. The review evaluates the article against the Good Article criteria, identifying strengths and weaknesses to provide constructive feedback.

1. Well-Written

• • Prose Quality:** The article is generally well-written, with clear and concise language that is appropriate for an encyclopedic tone. However, certain sections could benefit from more polish and a smoother narrative flow. For example, the "History" section occasionally includes excessive detail about minor events, which might detract from the article's readability.

• • Suggestions:**

- Streamline the "History" section to focus on significant events and developments related to Tudor City. - Eliminate or condense tangential details, such as overly specific dates or minor architectural adjustments, unless they are crucial to the narrative.

2. Verifiability and Sources

• • Source Quality:** The article is supported by a robust array of sources, including books, academic journals, and reputable websites. However, some references, particularly older publications, may require verification to ensure their reliability.

• • Suggestions:**

- Check the currency and reliability of older sources to ensure they meet Wikipedia's reliable source standards. - Add more inline citations to the "Notable residents" and "Cultural significance" sections, as some claims lack direct sourcing. - Ensure consistency in citation formatting, as there are minor discrepancies between citation styles.

3. Broad Coverage

• • Scope:** The article covers Tudor City's history, architecture, and cultural significance comprehensively. However, it could expand its coverage in the following areas:

- **Historical Context:** Provide additional context about Tudor City's development during the interwar period and how it reflects broader urban planning trends of the era. - **Cultural Impact:** While the "Cultural significance" section touches on Tudor City's appearances in media, it could delve deeper into how it has influenced perceptions of urban living in New York City.

• • Suggestions:**

- Enrich the "Cultural significance" section with more analysis and examples, supported by reliable sources. - Consider creating a separate subsection for "Architectural features" to highlight the unique design elements and their historical importance.

4. Neutrality

• • Assessment:** The article maintains a neutral tone overall, presenting information without bias. However, certain phrases, such as "masterpiece of urban planning," could be perceived as promotional.

• • Suggestions:**

- Replace subjective language with neutral, fact-based descriptions. - Ensure that all claims are supported by sources and avoid unsubstantiated opinions.

5. Stability

• • Assessment:** The article appears stable, with no evidence of ongoing edit wars or frequent contentious edits. It has a clear revision history, reflecting collaborative effort by contributors.

6. Images and Media

• • Assessment:** The article is enriched with high-quality images that illustrate Tudor City's architecture and layout. All images are appropriately licensed and add value to the content.

• • Suggestions:**

- Ensure that all images have descriptive captions to enhance reader understanding. - Consider adding more historical photographs, if available, to provide a visual narrative of Tudor City's evolution.

7. Accessibility

• • Assessment:** The article is well-structured, with appropriate use of headings and subheadings. The lead section provides a concise summary of the article, but it could be slightly expanded to better reflect the breadth of the content.

• • Suggestions:**

- Expand the lead to briefly mention key points from each major section. - Add links to relevant articles to improve navigation and context.

Overall Evaluation

The "Tudor City" article demonstrates significant effort and research, providing a comprehensive overview of this iconic urban development. However, to achieve Good Article status, the following improvements are recommended:

• • Key Recommendations:**

1. Refine the "History" section to focus on major events and developments. 2. Verify and update older sources to ensure reliability. 3. Expand the "Cultural significance" section with more analysis and examples. 4. Address minor neutrality concerns by rephrasing promotional language. 5. Enhance the lead section to reflect the article's full scope. 6. Maintain consistent citation formatting throughout the article.

Once these issues are addressed, the article will be well-positioned to meet the Good Article criteria. I commend the contributors for their work thus far and look forward to seeing the article achieve GA status.
