Hello! I'll be taking a look at this article for the January 2022 GAN backlog drive. If you haven't already signed up, please feel free to join in! Although QPQ is not required, if you're feeling generous, I also have a list of GA nominations of my own right here.
Note: this represents where the article stands relative to the Good Article criteria. Criteria marked are unassessed
Infobox and lede
Cherokee removal is double-linked; "forced migration" should be the general link to Forced displacement and then "forced to emigrate" should be the specific link
Fixed - also cut redundant wording and split sentence.
Similarly, "being" should be delinked in the phrase "Cherokee people being forced to emigrate", as currently it's a MOS:SEAOFBLUE situation
Done - reworded completely; see above.
Per MOS:LEADCITE, anything linked in the body doesn't have to be linked in the lede (I know if you submitted for DYK they sometimes make you cite in the lede)
Done
"latter 20th century" → "late 20th century" or "later"
Done - changed to "later part of the 20th century", as I don't think most would consider the late 1950s and 1960s part of the late 20th century.
Another MOS:SEAOFBLUE issue in "Tennessee–Georgia state line"
Done - unlinked "state line".
Should really be an en dash in "Tennessee–Georgia" and not a hyphen
Fixed
History
Cherokee history
Why is Tennessee the only state not linked in the first paragraph?
Probably because it's linked in the lead. I've gone ahead and linked it again.
Double check source to make sure "Chatooga" is really spelled with one T, I've only seen it with two
In January 1970, the Bradley County Quarterly Court agreed to purchase the land from Corn for the purpose of developing it into a recreation area and tourist attraction.WP:LIMITED violation
Fixed
"eternal flame" is going to need either a link or more specification for unfamiliar readers
Done - provided a short description (more detail is provided in the description section). Also split run-on sentence.
Cohutta should also be delinked, as it was linked above
Done
Eternal Flame is capitalized here but lowercase in the history section
Capitalized in the history section, as it is a proper name.
"The grave of Sleeping Rabbit, a prominent Cherokee who fought in the War of 1812, is reportedly located in the eastern part of the park. His grave, however, is unmarked." → "An unmarked grave believed to belong to Sleeping Rabbit, a prominent Cherokee who fought in the War of 1812, is reportedly located in the eastern part of the park."
Done
Colon instead of comma after "The park contains three trails"
Done
References
Bibliography should go under citations
Created "References" section; both are now subsections.
Inconsistent date referencing style; broadly MDY, but some YYYY-MM-DD
Fixed
Very nitpicky: in reference [3], you use the singular "page" even though it's pages 5-6
Fixed
General comments
All photos are relevant to the article
The Blue Hole Spring image does not have any license attached to it; this should be remedied
Done
No stability concerns in the revision history
One area of close paraphrasing above, otherwise the amount of proper nouns makes the Earwig score artificially high
Comment: - I think I addressed the closed paraphrasing. It doesn't appear to be showing up.
Putting on hold to allow nominator to address comments. Feel free to ping me with questions, and please let me know when you're finished! — GhostRiver16:18, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
