Jeffrey Mansion[edit]

Jeffrey Mansion is not the Governor's Mansion. It was donated to the city of Bexley by the Jeffrey family for use as a public park facility. (We used to have our Boy Scout Troop meetings and high school graduation parties there 60 years ago.) To the best of my knowledge no one has ever lived there since it was given to the city. The Jeffrey Mansion is located on the West side of Parkview Ave.

The Governor's Mansion is on the other side of the street 3 blocks North of the Jeffrey Mansion on the corner of Parkview and Maryland Ave. The confusion may stem from the fact that what is now the Governor's Mansion was also owned by the Jeffrey family. 68.100.20.143 (talk) 22:44, 15 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Good information, but seems to ramble on.

also, very bias, no POV

Could someone post some informaiton on Bexley as the main Jewish hub of central ohio? (Huberfamily 20:17, 12 April 2007 (UTC))[reply]

Could someone verify that the first image on the page is indeed from Bexley, Ohio? In the commons it is in the category "London Borough of Bexley". Thanks! 71.194.148.220 14:30, 4 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The image is indeed that of Bexley, Ohio, City Hall.--Alabamaboy 16:46, 4 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Bexley, Ohio, article is much better. Less repetition, more information, less biased, citations included for previously unsupported statements and claims, rather exhaustive reference section (too exhaustive?), format that is easier on the eyes, relevant images added. Well-written and grammatically correct. It's obvious that a lot of research was done to improve the article.

Quality as yet has not been assessed. Recommend GA, based on the revised articles content, presentation, writing style and grammar, and extensive source material.

Importance previously rated as Low. This should be raised, but one criterion for importance is the city's population. Bexley has a population of less than 14,000, so it seems that Mid is the highest importance rating that can be given. Recommend increasing importance from Low to Mid.

Hope this is helpful to the Ohio Project.

GA Reassessment[edit]

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was delist. Limited discussion and participation indicates lack of effort present to make this article meet GA standards (which are clearly not met yet). As well, it is clear that GA status was improperly given in the first place. $ɱ$ (talk) 23:23, 30 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This discussion is transcluded from Talk:Bexley, Ohio/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the reassessment.

This article was added as a Good Article in 2010, by a then-new editor, simply by adding "class=GA" to the WikiProject template. The article does not meet several GA standards:

Its sourcing is unclear. There are only 11 inline citations, many of which are just being used in the population table. The rest of the "citations" are poorly-formatted and unclear. Many of them are likely not even used, and many are not Reliable Sources.
1. BexleyOhio. com (Cities Unlimited, Inc., 2001) - dead
2. Comedy Central: The Colbert Report (Comedy Partners, 2010) - not an RS
3. The Washington Examiner (Washington Newspaper Publishing Co. LLC, 2008) - vague
4. The San Francisco Examiner (S.F. Newspaper Co. LLC, 2008) - vague
5. USA Today (Gannett Co., Inc., 2010) - vague
6. The Los Angeles Times (Tribune Interactive, Inc., 2007) - vague
7. Cagle Cartoons (Daryl Cagle, 2010) - not an RS
8. How I Met Your Mother (CBS, 2005) - not an RS
9. Tumblr, Inc. (Marco Arment, 2007) - not an RS
10. Miss America (Miss America Organization, 1921) - not an RS
11. Something Corporate (Andrew McMahon, 1998) - not an RS
12. Jack's Mannequin (Andrew McMahon, 2004) - not an RS
13. Amazon. com (Amazon Services LLC, 1996–2010) - not an RS
14. Encyclopædia Britannica (Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc., 2008) - not always an RS
It is not broad in its coverage, lacking "Climate", "Economy", "Arts and culture", "Religion", "Sports", "Parks and recreation", "Media", and "Infrastructure" sections, all common in US cities articles and possible in this article.
Its use of external links in the article body violate WP:EL
Its illustrations are lacking compared to what is available on Commons, and the last image and caption are vague and unhelpful.

For these reasons, it's clear to me this needs significant work to be held as a Good Article, and needs to be delisted until the day someone decides to put in this great amount of work. $ɱ$ (talk) 04:56, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not only is this article **not** "GA", nor it is "B" either. I would say "C" at the highest, and maybe even as low as "Start" until the reference mess is cleaned up. • Sbmeirow • Talk • 04:29, 28 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The "Demographics" section needs cleaned up too, because of the text above "2010 census" subsection. • Sbmeirow • Talk • 04:29, 28 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I did a quick cleanup of the article, but I avoided trying to fix the reference mess. • Sbmeirow • Talk • 04:54, 28 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the improvements. I agree it is still around C-class. The editor who added "GA" to it had only edited for a few months, handful of edits here and there, 9 years ago. Another editor apparently removed the GA tag from the article in 2013 as well, citing no review. Unless this really gets to GA standards in a week, I'll start the delist process.
