I will be doing the GA Reassessment on this article as part of the GA Sweeps project. H1nkles (talk) 19:58, 5 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No one would question the importance of this article, especially to American readers. There are some issues that give me pause, primarily related to the lack of references.

  • The American Revolution section is very poorly referenced. Since this is a primary part of the article it is surprising that it is so under referenced. I note a [citation needed] template from May 2009, I added one of my own, several more could be added but I think it conveys the point.
  • the "Foreign Affairs" sub section of the Presidency section has no references.
  • The "Monuments and memorials" sub section of the Legacy section has one in-line citation.
  • Several of the website references have nothing more than the link. Per WP:CITE they should at least have the publisher and accessdate, the author, date, and work information are also good if provided.

I want to keep the article as GA but there needs to be some work done on the references. I would be willing to discuss this review with anyone. I will hold the article for a week and see if some work on referencing can be done. H1nkles (talk) 21:08, 5 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This article has been on hold for two weeks and my referencing concerns have not been addressed. As such I will remove the article from GA due to the fact that it does not meet the GA Criteria regarding referencing. H1nkles (talk) 17:01, 19 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
