Hartwick Pines State Park was a good article nominee, but did not meet the good article criteria at the time. There are suggestions below for improving the article. Once these are addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake. Reviewed version: July 5, 2007 |
[edit] Failed "good article" nomination
This article failed good article nomination. This is how the article, as of July 5, 2007, compares against the six good article criteria:
- 1. Well written?: Pass. The writing is okay. The external links should be more than just a URL though.
- 2. Factually accurate?: Fail. There are no inline citations, and there is no "references" section. If external links are used as references, then they should be in a separate section dedicated to references.
- 3. Broad in coverage?: Fail. The article isn't nearly as comprehensive as it should be. It should have thorough coverage of the history (such as inception/gaining park status, opening, and history prior to the park's existence). There is nothing about the geographic or geologic features of the park, or the biology on creatures and fauna. See Yellowstone National Park, Bryce Canyon National Park, or Redwood National and State Parks for examples of featured articles on a related topic.
- 4. Neutral point of view?: Pass.
- 5. Article stability? Pass.
- 6. Images?: Fail. There is just the one image of the map- an article on a park should have several images.
When these issues are addressed, the article can be resubmitted for consideration. If you feel that this review is in error, feel free to take it to a GA review. Thank you for your work so far. — Wafulz 12:40, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] This article seriously needs pictures
In addition to the forest, a picture of the chapel in the woods would be very helpful. That feature is not documented in the article at all, and should be. Additionally, there are a lot of activities there. See the article and links at Grayling, Michigan. 7&6=thirteen (talk) 11:22, 10 December 2007 (UTC)Stan
