Stability

[edit]
  • checkY Article has been stable for its entire history.

POV

[edit]
  • checkY Article does not have any bias or agenda that I can see.

Media

[edit]
  • checkY All images are freely licensed, clearly illustrative, etc.
  • ☒N What is going on here? This image should not have the text superimposed on it. Can you upload a clean version?

Focus / scope / coverage / completeness

[edit]
  • checkY Article stays focused on Mitchell and his exploits. Covers his life and his goings-on fairly thoroughly.

Prose / MoS / ref check

[edit]
  • exclamation mark  I have edited some references and moved some around; a few sentences were not supported by the supplied inline citations. Will continue to do this as I work through the article.
  • checkY Added some stuff from the Clam Lake Canal article (as well as a ref).
  • checkY Added the Wheeler ref to some places where it supported content.
  • ☒N 1885 and 1895 Huh?  Done Re-incorporated in 1885 and 1895 citation provided.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 19:18, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • checkY General copyediting which I'm doing.
  • checkY Refs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 are good.
  • checkY Refs 8, 9, 10, 11 are good.
  • ☒N Crawford 1913 should show the specific essay that it's quoting from (I assume this is Some Men Who Have Made Cadillac by Jean McGee?) because there are numerous Page 13's in that book.  Done provided link for "father of Cadillac" page 13 in source Crawford 1913
  • ☒N Ref 14 (Bulletin by Illinois Association Opposed to Woman Suffrage) looks like a duplicate of Crawford 1913. Is this the case?  Done Good catch. Removed Ref #14.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 19:34, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • checkY Ref 15 seems good.
  • ☒N Can't find the thing in Ref 16 (Record 1895) about Mitchell being a Republican (wrong page number?) Done Page 152 is correct. It can be found in the left column about one-third of the way down.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 19:26, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • checkY Refs 17, 18 are good.
  • checkY Ref 19 title fixed.
  • checkY Ref 20 is good.

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.
