This'll be interesting enough :D IAWW (talk) 00:40, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Darth Stabro, review is below. It's nice to see you're giving this diocese's history some great coverage! Spot check was much smoother this time :D IAWW (talk) 00:42, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Prose (Criteria 1a, 1b, 4) clock

Lead

Lead needs expansion to summarize the main points of the article IAWW (talk) 00:40, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Construction

"twenty-two lots" could do with a conversion (MOS:CONVERSION) IAWW (talk) 00:40, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

because of its financial situation: Bit vague, were they in debt or just poor? IAWW (talk) 00:40, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

one building to be a combination church and school: I think "combined" instead of "combination" is more common wording here IAWW (talk) 00:40, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Cathedral

and offices and living quarters for Crétin, his staff, and seminarians: I assume you meant to finish this off with "on the third floor"? IAWW (talk) 00:40, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

summer of 1853 Ravoux: I think Ravoux should be named and linked here, rather than in the paragraph after IAWW (talk) 00:40, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Suggest linking "Mass" and "confessionals" IAWW (talk) 00:40, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Cretin's School

until necessity required: Bit vague IAWW (talk) 00:40, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This school, while formally known as Cathedral High School, was informally known as Cretin's School: This is the sort of stuff that should be bold in the lead, not in this section. IAWW (talk) 00:40, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"great Chicago fire" is a proper noun that should be capitalised IAWW (talk) 00:40, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

the education of students was moved to a new location: Where? IAWW (talk) 00:40, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The institution would eventually become Cretin High School: Are you talking about the cathedral building, or the place where the students moved to? This is also quite vague. IAWW (talk) 00:40, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Health/formatting (Criterion 2a) Y

Good enough for GA

All seem reliable enough

Copyvio (Criterion 2d) clock

Earwig finds nothing, will check further on spot check.

"The cornerstone was laid in late July or early August" is too close paraphrasing of the source IAWW (talk) 00:40, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Scope (Criteria 3a, 3b) clock

I have a very slight concern that this is lacking some available sourcing, it seems there was a lot of newspapers circulating in Minnesota at the time. Have you looked into these? IAWW (talk) 00:39, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Tags (Criterion 6a) Y

Captions (Criterion 6b) Y

Suggestions (not needed for GA promotion)

Inconsistent linking of publishers IAWW (talk) 00:40, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The Nazareth Hall Preparatory seminary links to the wrong cathedral article I think IAWW (talk) 00:40, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Cathedral of Saint Paul (Minnesota) — the current cathedral: Should be a spaced en-dash, not a spaced em-dash (MOS:LISTDASH) IAWW (talk) 00:40, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
