Talk:Ottawa/GA3

Round 1

See my first round of edits here. Spookyaki (talk) 13:51, 5 June 2026 (UTC)

@Kwkintegrator:

• The city name "Ottawa" was chosen in 1855 in reference to the Ottawa River, whose name is itself derived from the Algonquin adawe, meaning "to trade".  Verified Spookyaki (talk) 13:51, 5 June 2026 (UTC)
• ...foraging, hunting and fishing... ? Clarification needed You'll have to forgive me as a new Canadian, but is serial comma use standard in Canadian English or not? Spookyaki (talk) 13:51, 5 June 2026 (UTC)
  • The serial comma is mostly omitted in this article, but it's not entirely consistent. For example, His plan also called for the movement of downtown Union Station (now the Senate of Canada Building) to the suburbs, the removal of the street car system, the decentralization of selected government offices, and the relocation of industries and removal of substandard housing from the downtown. You should probably keep one and stick with it. Spookyaki (talk) 20:32, 8 June 2026 (UTC)
• The Ottawa Valley became habitable around 10,000 years ago following the natural draining of the Champlain Sea.  Verified Spookyaki (talk) 13:51, 5 June 2026 (UTC)
• In 1610, Étienne Brûlé became the first documented European to navigate the Ottawa River, passing what would become Ottawa on his way to the Great Lakes.  Verified by the source, but should Nicolas de Vignau also be mentioned? Per Alastair Sweeny's Thomas Mackay: The Laird of Rideau Hall and the Founding of Ottawa:

  In 1610, the first Europeans to paddle up the waterway were two young missionary volunteers, Étienne Brûlé and Nicholas Vignau. Samuel de Champlain sent them to live with the Huron nation on Georgian Bay. (p. 12)

  Spookyaki (talk) 13:51, 5 June 2026 (UTC)

  I can't get anything but a short preview of that source, but I'm not sure that that snippet is supporting this particular expedition. Kwkintegrator (talk) 16:17, 6 June 2026 (UTC)

  It is about the first expedition up the Ottawa. Spookyaki (talk) 15:09, 7 June 2026 (UTC)

• The first non-Indigenous settlement in the area was created by Philemon Wright, a New Englander.  Verified Spookyaki (talk) 13:51, 5 June 2026 (UTC)
• In 1820s, news of the British military's impending construction of the Rideau Canal led to land speculation by John Le Breton, a local businessman who bought a land lot on the prediction of the upcoming construction, which led to an alternative canal course being selected.  Verified, but this sentence is a bit confusing. I think this is because the primary course of the canal has not been mentioned at all, so mentions of an alternative course feel premature. I would recommend integrating the primary course into the sentence or changing its scope (for example, you could talk about why they wanted to build the canal in the wake of the War of 1812 first and mention that it would pass by present-day Ottawa instead of nitty-gritty details about land purchases). Spookyaki (talk) 13:51, 5 June 2026 (UTC)
• Colonel By set up military barracks on the site of today's Parliament Hill. N Not verified I know this to be true, but don't see any evidence of it in either source (unless I'm missing it!). Also, while I know there's the street and all that, I believe By was a lieutenant colonel at this point. Spookyaki (talk) 13:51, 5 June 2026 (UTC)

  Better pointer in the source to a different page Kwkintegrator (talk) 16:37, 6 June 2026 (UTC)

   Verified Spookyaki (talk) 15:10, 7 June 2026 (UTC)

• Bytown's early pioneer period saw Irish labour unrest during the Shiners' War from 1835 to 1845. N Comment Don't know if I would describe the Shiners War as "labour unrest". It was tied somewhat to labour, but also to xenophobia against French Canadians. Spookyaki (talk) 13:51, 5 June 2026 (UTC)

  Good catch, reworded to align with the sources Kwkintegrator (talk) 16:41, 6 June 2026 (UTC)

  Looks good. Spookyaki (talk) 15:11, 7 June 2026 (UTC)

• Bytown's population grew to 1,000 as the Rideau Canal was completed in 1832. ? Clarification needed The Bytown Museum link is dead and I do not have access to Mika. Could you provide the supporting passage? Spookyaki (talk) 13:51, 5 June 2026 (UTC)

  I think I had the wrong citation pointing there. I've added the correct one instead (http://parkscanadahistory.com/series/mf/109.pdf#page=65) Kwkintegrator (talk) 16:30, 6 June 2026 (UTC)

   Verified Spookyaki (talk) 15:11, 7 June 2026 (UTC)

• Starting in the 1850s, entrepreneurs known as lumber barons began to build large sawmills, which produced tens of millions of board feet of timber, such as producing 39 million in 1855 after the USA began accepting imports, against approximately 480 million board feet imported from across Canada in Britain a decade earlier, and eventually rising to 613 million in the early 20th century. N Not verified GVHS link is dead, and this seems to be the primary source discussing statistical claims for 1855. Spookyaki (talk) 13:51, 5 June 2026 (UTC)

  Updated the GVHS link. 39 million from woods, 613 from the Ottawa historical society, 480 from Gatineau historical society Kwkintegrator (talk) 16:55, 6 June 2026 (UTC)

  GVHS link still not working for me. It just takes me to the homepage, unless that's what you're citing? Other numbers are supported. Spookyaki (talk) 15:13, 7 June 2026 (UTC)

Round 2

See my second round of edits here. Spookyaki (talk) 15:22, 5 June 2026 (UTC)

@Kwkintegrator:

• The selection of Ottawa as a capital city predates the Confederation of Canada.  Verified Spookyaki (talk) 15:22, 5 June 2026 (UTC)
• In Ottawa, political dissension was evident in the 1849 Stony Monday Riot, when Tories objected to consideration of Bytown as the capital of the Province of Canada. N Comment I don't think this was their objection. The riot, as I understand it, primarily stemmed from the politically contentious atmosphere in the aftermath of the Rebellions of 1837–1838, Elgin's role in the subsequent passage of the Rebellion Losses Bill, strife between Ango Protestants and French Catholics, and the growth of the responsible government movement/the attendant decline in the Family Compact's political power. While the assessment of Bytown as a potential site for the capital was the pretext for Elgin's visit, I don't think there's a strong argument to be made that the conflict was actually about the selection of Bytown as capital. Spookyaki (talk) 15:22, 5 June 2026 (UTC)

  Good catch, fixed. Didn't mention the rebellions piece, which I can do if you think it is important, but happy to revisit if you think it would add to the article. Kwkintegrator (talk) 17:14, 6 June 2026 (UTC)

  Made some tweaks, but just a cursory mention seems fine given the scope of the article. Spookyaki (talk) 15:26, 7 June 2026 (UTC)

• The governor-general of the Province of Canada designated Kingston as the capital in 1841.  Verified Spookyaki (talk) 15:22, 5 June 2026 (UTC)
• The funding impasse led to the ending of the legislature's role in determining the seat of government. N Not verified, unless it's in one of the subsequent sources and not fn 48. Spookyaki (talk) 15:22, 5 June 2026 (UTC)

  Added new source. Was also in the David Knight Book later in the paragraph, but that's not an accessible source, so made sure I added one accessible. Kwkintegrator (talk) 17:21, 6 June 2026 (UTC)

   Verified Not necessary for GA, but page numbers might be nice. Spookyaki (talk) 15:28, 7 June 2026 (UTC)

• Ottawa was chosen as the capital for two primary reasons: N Not verified The source explicitly says the reason was unclear. Spookyaki (talk) 15:22, 5 June 2026 (UTC)

  Reordered paragraph and added a more direct claim from desk of Edmund Head on the end goal being political palatability. Kwkintegrator (talk) 17:34, 6 June 2026 (UTC)

   Verified, though again, page numbers would be nice. Spookyaki (talk) 15:29, 7 June 2026 (UTC)

• The original Parliament buildings, which included the Centre, East and West Blocks, were constructed between 1859 and 1866 in the Gothic Revival style.  Verified Spookyaki (talk) 15:22, 5 June 2026 (UTC)

Round 3

See my third round of edits here.

@Kwkintegrator:

• In 1889, the government distributed 60 "water leases" to local industrialists, which gave them permission to generate electricity and use hydroelectric generators at Chaudière Falls.  Verified, though I'm not crazy about the source (it's probably fine, but a better one one would be preferable) and the paraphrase may be a bit too close, even with my edits. Consider revising further. Spookyaki (talk) 20:49, 5 June 2026 (UTC)
• In 1900, a chimney fire spread throughout Hull, destroying two-thirds of the city, including the facilities of major lumber employers and main street buildings.  Verified Spookyaki (talk) 20:49, 5 June 2026 (UTC)
• On 1 June 1912, the Grand Trunk Railway opened both the Château Laurier hotel and its neighbouring downtown Union Station. N Partially verified Verified by Van de Wetering, but the Ottawa Citizen link is dead. Spookyaki (talk) 20:49, 5 June 2026 (UTC)
• The location of what is now Confederation Square was a former commercial district centrally located in a triangular downtown rea surrounded by historically significant heritage buildings, including the Parliament buildings.  Verified Spookyaki (talk) 20:49, 5 June 2026 (UTC)

Round 4

@Kwkintegrator: See my fourth round of edits here.

• Ottawa's former industrial appearance was vastly altered by the 1950 Gréber Plan.  Verified
• While not every recommendation in the Grébér Plan was acted upon—for example, city hall was not placed on the east side of the canal... N Not verified, and the Grébér Report itself cannot verify a claim about something that happened after it was published. Spookyaki (talk) 20:32, 8 June 2026 (UTC)
• The 1958 National Capital Act established the National Capital Commission as a Crown Corporation.  Verified, though only page 190 of Taylor supports this. Spookyaki (talk) 20:32, 8 June 2026 (UTC)
• From the 1960s to the 1980s, there was a large increase in construction in the National Capital Region... N Not verified The source does not say this at all, on any page from what I can tell. Spookyaki (talk) 20:32, 8 June 2026 (UTC)

  I wasn't able to verify this either on my first pass of the article. I tend to defer in good faith when someone cites a book that isn't accessible. Were you able to find an online-accessible copy? Kwkintegrator (talk) 16:42, 9 June 2026 (UTC)

  I do have a copy! I'll email you. Spookyaki (talk) 23:41, 12 June 2026 (UTC)

• ...which was followed by large growth in the high-tech industry during the 1990s and 2000s. N Not verified The source says nothing about this on the cited page, and from what I understand (and as the article itself says later down), this expansion began during the 1980s. The source (on page 22) says that Measured on a per capita basis, Ottawa in the late 1990s was doing three times the R&D of other Canadian cities. This implies that the expansion happened earlier, which, per Taylor (p. 176); Graham, Maslove & Phillips (p. 253); and Powell—it did. Spookyaki (talk) 20:32, 8 June 2026 (UTC)

  I feel like this is going to be necessarily messy no matter what. Your Graham et al. link isn't working for me, seems to be linking me somewhere else that my malware filter doesn't like.

  Using proquest, the only summative statement I could find on the date of the tech boom came from a Globe Article "From a burst bubble, a new brand of manufacturing emerges in Ottawa: As Silicon Valley North's big companies faded away, makers of cutting-edge products filled the void". This article pointed to the 1990s saying "To understand Canada's new place in the manufacturing world, consider Ottawa - that sleepy government town that burst on to the international technology scene in the 1990s.". Given the Powell article you linked to, I'd be open to shifting the claim to "1980s and 1990s". Let me know any thoughts you have. Kwkintegrator (talk) 17:01, 9 June 2026 (UTC)

  I think 1980s and 1990s makes sense. If you'd like the other Maslove et al article, here's the corrected link. Spookyaki (talk) 23:44, 12 June 2026 (UTC)

• In 1991, provincial and federal governments responded to a land claim submitted by the Algonquins of Ontario regarding the unceded status of the land on which Ottawa is situated...  Verified, but I think there are some neutrality issues here that arise from the uncritical use of the province as a source. Much of this paragraph reads like an official press release. Spookyaki (talk) 20:32, 8 June 2026 (UTC)

  I don't know that I'm entirely seeing what you're seeing here. I do get the primary source usage issue, but I don't think the release of the statement or the unceded status of the area is disputed. I'll add a secondary source, but I think leaving the primary material is probably also good, given that it's in direct support of the statement that the government put out a response. With regard to the writing, I think I was the one who added this particular language in, and while I definitely now see the "press release"-y-ness of it, not sure how I'd tackle a rewrite that is succinct and factual. Happy to entertain any suggestions, or if there's some specific phrasing that feels weird in there. Kwkintegrator (talk) 17:10, 9 June 2026 (UTC)

  I think I'd be more satisfied if there was more context from the perspective of Algonquin critics of the negotiation process. This article might be useful (starting p. 123). Bonita Lawrence's Fractured Homeland: Federal Recognition and Algonquin Identity in Ontario (I can send you some relevant pages if you'd like). Spookyaki (talk) 00:04, 13 June 2026 (UTC)

• Overall, the structure of this section is a bit confusing. It jumps all over the place in time such that it's hard to follow any one thread for very long. I also think this section and the previous section omit important details (the 1911-1912 epidemic? The World Wars? The Depression?) Meanwhile, some threads can definitely be stripped back. There does not need to be as much info about the city hall building as there is, for example. Spookyaki (talk)

  I didn't want to completely duplicate the "History of Ottawa" page, and saw relatively little there (or in reading elsewhere) that pointed me to anything that was noteworthy enough for inclusion on the world wars. I've now added a paragraph on the effects of the second world war, as well as including a short description of the typhoid epidemic. I considered and discarded the idea of including much on the depression, as the On to Ottawa movement didn't affect the city so much as the federal government. If there are particular items you think should be included, happy to hear and incorporate. As to the City Hall paragraph, feels like as short as I can include the history of 4 separate halls, and the Wikipedia article for the current city hall seems focused on the specific building rather than the hisotry, so thought it should be included. Can't speak too much for the jumpiness, I feel like each paragraph starts chronologically later than the preceding one, but if you have specifics to point to, happy to rework them. Fully do admit the sections are more "collections of paragraphs" than flowing stories, so I can see why it feels disjointed, but given I did the rewrites, I'm having trouble pinpointing the biggest offenders. Kwkintegrator (talk) 17:46, 9 June 2026 (UTC)

  I think the most difficult jumps for me were the jump from the National Historic Site designation (probably not necessary to include that detail at all, in my opinion), the paragraph on the National Capital Act (if the Todd and Holt plans are necessary to discuss—I would argue that they're not, since they weren't implemented—you could put them in place chronologically; ditto with the NCC and city hall, if you deem them necessary to include). Spookyaki (talk) 00:24, 13 June 2026 (UTC)

Round 5

@Kwkintegrator:

See my fifth round of edits here.

• Ottawa's city limits have expanded over time, including a large expansion effective 1 January 2001, when the province of Ontario amalgamated all the constituent municipalities of the Regional Municipality of Ottawa–Carleton into a single city.  Verified, though a secondary source might be preferable. Spookyaki (talk) 21:27, 8 June 2026 (UTC)
• In October 2012, the City Council approved the final Lansdowne Park plan, an agreement with the Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group that saw a new stadium, increased green space and housing and retail added to the site. N Partially verified The Ottawa Citizen link is broken, so a few claims (green space, housing) are not supported. Spookyaki (talk) 21:27, 8 June 2026 (UTC)

  I found that the archive link on the citation worked, but I will switch the link status to dead so it becomes the default link. Kwkintegrator (talk) 16:31, 17 June 2026 (UTC)

• In 2022, a movement protesting COVID-19 restrictions drew large numbers of Canadians, including those from outside Ottawa. This led to the occupation of Wellington Street in Canada's parliamentary precinct. ? Clarification needed I can't access the source, but the convoy wasn't limited to just Wellington, was it? That may have been the center, but it was all over downtown. Spookyaki (talk) 21:27, 8 June 2026 (UTC)

  Think this and other concerns in the section should now have expanded sourcing Kwkintegrator (talk) 19:39, 9 June 2026 (UTC)

  The sources specifically point out other locations that were occupied. Spookyaki (talk) 00:28, 13 June 2026 (UTC)

On the matter of the the amalgamation, I added some phrasing around the amalgamation in a claim slightly later into the article and will shortly be pasting the source over.

With regard to the COVID protests, I have amended the claim to note the non-downtown staging camps (my understanding is that is what they were, but the language I've deployed is more general so as to be in line with the source. Kwkintegrator (talk) 19:49, 17 June 2026 (UTC)

Round 6

@Kwkintegrator: See my sixth round of edits here.

• The present-day city of Ottawa consists of the historic main urban area, as well as other urban, suburban and rural areas within the city's post-amalgamation limits. N Partially verified The map is helpful, but I don't know if the characterization of the different regions is fully supported. Spookyaki (talk) 01:00, 13 June 2026 (UTC)
• Central Ottawa and Ottawa East comprise a large portion of the pre-amalgamation city, including the former city of Vanier—a densely populated, historically Francophone, working class enclave—and the former village of Rockcliffe Park—a wealthy residential neighbourhood adjacent to both the Prime Minister's official residence at 24 Sussex and the Governor General's residence. N Not verified Link dead. Spookyaki (talk) 01:00, 13 June 2026 (UTC)
• These areas the downtown core and older neighbourhoods to the east, west, and south. ? Clarification needed What is this supposed to say? Spookyaki (talk) 01:00, 13 June 2026 (UTC)
• These neighbourhoods include the commercial and cultural areas of Old Ottawa South, Centretown, Lower Town, and Sandy Hill, the affluent neighbourhoods of The Glebe, Westboro, and New Edinburgh, and the historically blue-collar communities of Hintonburg, Mechanicsville, Carlington, and LeBreton Flats, with a mixture of housing types, artist lofts, and industrial uses. ? Clarification needed Not sure I follow this sentence. The mixture of housing types is in all of the neighborhoods? all of the working-class neighborhoods? Just LeBreton Flats? Spookyaki (talk) 01:00, 13 June 2026 (UTC)
• Modern Ottawa is made up of eleven historic townships, ten of which are from the former Carleton County and one from the former Russell County. ? Clarification needed The rural council source does not seem related to this claim at all and is a little boosterish. The Statutes of the Province of Ontario 1968 would not be directly relevant to the post-amalgamation city (I'm assuming it's talking about the RMOC). Not sure what I'm looking at with the table. Spookyaki (talk) 01:00, 13 June 2026 (UTC)

I don't know why my replies can't attach directly to your comments so aggregating them here.

On the characterizations of urban rural etc. I've added various sources pointing to constituent communities having those characteristics. I think it would be ideal to have a clean summary statement pulled from a secondary source, but I could not find one on first search.

On the matter of the merger and neighbourhoods list, I can't remember if I put this erroneous claim in here or someone else, I suspect it may be me, but those buildings are in fact in another neighbouring neighbourhood, so your pointing to lack of sourcing did help resolve factually incorrect, so very big thanks to you on that. The sentence has also been broken into two pieces to improve readability. The dead link issue has been resolved, the link status has been switched from live to dead, so the archived link shows up first. Given this has been a bit of a pattern, I just wanted to make you aware, if you weren't already, that often a dead link at the start of a citation will have the "Archived" hyperlink after it which is usually good, and I try to do an archiving run soon after doing major work on any article. If you were already aware and are just pointing me to the issue that the main links are dead, please disregard, and feel free to continue pointing them out, because I'm happy to make those small quality-of-life changes for future Wikipedia users.

On the third issue, was a typo on my part, was missing a word "include" which has now been added.

On the matter of the list of neighbourhoods, I've tightened up some of the categories to stuff that is more clearly defendable and removed references to types of building, which is more appropriate for the architecture section.

On the final amalgamation matter, I've cleaned everything up by making the chronology more clear and talking both about the creation of the region, and it's eventual merger. I've included the "boosterish" link since it is succinct, and based on the legislation (which I've now page-marked), it seems to be factually correct. Kwkintegrator (talk) 19:58, 17 June 2026 (UTC)

Round 7

@Kwkintegrator:

See my seventh round of edits here.

• Ottawa's domestic architecture contains single-family homes, but also includes smaller numbers of semi-detached houses, rowhouses, and apartment buildings. N Not verified A source about Ottawa's architecture in 1955 is not sufficient to make a claim about the present day. Also, the main link is dead and the source appears to be self-published (though I cannot assess credentials). Spookyaki (talk) 13:06, 17 June 2026 (UTC)
• The skyline has been controlled by building height restrictions, originally implemented to keep Parliament Hill and the Peace Tower at 92.2 metres (302 ft) visible from most parts of the city and prevented construction of buildings exceeding 150 feet through at least the 1950s. ? Clarification needed Also don't really follow this sentence. I'm not sure what it's supposed to be saying. Spookyaki (talk) 13:06, 17 June 2026 (UTC)
• Many federal buildings in the National Capital Region are managed by Public Works Canada, which leads to heritage conservation in its renovations and management of buildings, such as the renovation of the Senate Building. ? Clarification needed What is it?
• The skyline has been controlled by building height restrictions, originally implemented to keep Parliament Hill and the Peace Tower at 92.2 metres (302 ft) visible from most parts of the city and prevented construction of buildings exceeding 150 feet through at least the 1950s. N Partially verified While several apsects of the claim are supported, the source only mentions Peace Tower in passing. It does not include any of the specifics mentioned in the article. Spookyaki (talk) 13:06, 17 June 2026 (UTC)

I've improved the claims with regards to different types of buildings, though I had to find a primary source to do so. But it is simple enough that I think it falls within the guidelines for not being original research.

The skyline item is a difficult one to track down, and I can't find any reference to the original restriction except in secondary sources written well after, but I don't see any reason to disregard the book claim that it was Peace Tower related (though tis would only cover back to the creation of the peace tower in the 1910s. I've cleaned up the readability and added some link-outs to the concept of an architectural sightline (visibility) to make it more comprehensible.

On the matter of the public works, I've resolved the section, and made some other tweaks to claims about the National Capital Commission. Kwkintegrator (talk) 20:02, 17 June 2026 (UTC)

@Spookyaki I did all these edits intending to eventually reply to the hold notice.

At this point, I very much sympathize with you wanting to not have to go through a lot of the cleanup it seems you are needing to. I had already done a readthrough but I have obviously not caught everything and think I now have time to be a bit more thorough.

Having been the proponent for Good Article status five years ago, I really don't want to start from the top again with another reviewer, so I would love to get this to Good Article quality if I can.

I want to do another readthrough as well as reviewing Frommer's Ottawa and get back to you by the end of June as to whether GA3 should be failed or re-activated. Kwkintegrator (talk) 20:06, 17 June 2026 (UTC)

Sounds good! I'm a little busy in my personal life (sorry for the slowness), but I'll try to help out where I can as well. Spookyaki (talk) 01:43, 18 June 2026 (UTC)

I've had a chance to go back through @Spookyaki and I'm ambivalent on whether the GA should be reopened, though I lean to yes. I want to give an accounting of where I see things.

I've added some content to the post-confederation section based on reading the Frommer's guide/Hale source and finding publicly available citations. They're things well-known enough by me that they seem noteworthy. That subsection in particular does still read like a list-of-happenings rather than higher-quality encyclopedic work.

I do have concerns over the geography section in particular. I've done a merger of architecture and built environment and I think it's alright, but I'm not exactly sure if it reads cleanly. I'm also concerned that the discussions of neighbourhoods is very unbalanced. A decent amount of effort goes into people covering older neighbourhoods, but it leads to a pretty strong old-town bias.

The demographics and climate sections are highly dependent on primary census sourcing, which I'm fine with, but if you're not, then that probably is a good reason to save the effort of reactivation. Likewise a lot of the rest of the article that deals with economy and employment are dependent on city-published, albeit credible, sources. The climate section is also clunky as I and other authors have done what feels like analysis rather than paraphasing. I've asked WP:Weather for help, but haven't received advice on whether the content looks good to them or not. It does resemble at least some other cities with regard to how theirs look.

I would say the festivals and media subsections are weak/thin but not exceptionally so, and the entire politics section is weak as well. Notably, all of these do have larger main articles they link out to, but I find myself relatively unwilling to parse those articles and duplicate larger portions of their content in this article unless I am prompted to do so. I say this because is a big article and I think it has a relative lack of community (based on talk-page interaction on both this and the last GA review. It does make it hard to make some judgment calls and difficult to muster the energy. I've also thrown about as much time as I want to into the project at this point. I'm happy to make any further edits as identified in review, I think I just may have just taken on too big a project based on misjudging how close the article was to GA-quality. If you're finding continued lack of quality in the first little bit of you continuing review and think it should fail, I won't look on it as a personal failing on my part, but it might just be that the article doesn't have enough people to maintain such a large/complex article at GA-quality. I ultimately do think it's much improved in the last few months, and that matters more than the designation, but I don't want to throw a greater-than-expected workload on a GA reviewer, as they generally are supposed to be more straightforward than this. Kwkintegrator (talk) 22:26, 25 June 2026 (UTC)

Unfortunately, upon reflection, I think I'm going to have to put the breaks on this review right now. There are too many sourcing errors (dead links, unsupported claims, broken citations). I would advise you to go through the article to verify all of the citations. If you think you can do this within a week or two, I can put the review on hold. Otherwise, I think I'll have to fail it for now (though I of course appreciate all the hard work you've put in!).
