Criterion 1: well-written[edit]
Looks very good for the most part. A couple of small comments:
- "and is now considered a member of the Fireside Poets." --Speaking as an ignorant reader, does this mean that the Fireside Poets are a posthumously-denoted group, or that they were recognized in their day but OWH was not at the time considered a member? (I realize you'll make this clear later, but it should be clear to a general reader in the lead.)
- "Written fifteen years after The Autocrat, this work's tone was more mellow and nostalgic than its predecessor." - Seems POV - do you have a source for this assessment? Ricardiana (talk) 05:25, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
Criterion 2 - factually-accurate and verifiable[edit]
Excellent here. Ricardiana (talk) 05:27, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
Criterion 3: broad in its coverage[edit]
A look through Google Books and MLA shows nothing important missing. Excellent here also.
Criterion 4: neutral[edit]
Neutral - good.
Criterion 5: stable[edit]
Very stable and a nice collaborative atmosphere.
Criterion 6: illustrated, if possible, by images[edit]
Looks good here, too.
Verdict[edit]
Excellent work on the part of everyone involved. Congratulations on putting together a Good Article! Ricardiana (talk) 05:37, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
