== Kirkpatrick Chapel ==

I reviewed the article, and it looks good. I have three suggested changes.

(1) Add alt captions to all the pictures.<br>
(2) Wikipedia has an inflation template that many articles use to calculate the real value of money from a particular year. Template:Inflation.<br>
(3) The word flow is a bit stilted in the lead sentence. I think you could remove ''known as Kirkpatrick Chapel'' and just refer to it by the shorter name in subsequent sentences. I might replace ''Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey'' with ''Rutgers University.'' If someone hits the link for Rutgers, they'll see the full name. I would add ''is'' before ''located,'' and replace ''New Jersey in the United States.'' with ''New Jersey, United States.''

:I'll try to give the article a look-over sometime this weekend as well. At a glance, it looks like you've done a great job. [[User:Neelix|Neelix]] ([[User talk:Neelix|talk]]) 06:13, 15 November 2013 (UTC)

::I apologize for taking longer than expected to get around to this review. Overall, this looks like a great article. Here are my recommendations:

::#The "History" section should not end with the chapel's construction; the history should run right up until the present. This issue might be rectified by merging the "Use" section into the "History" section.
::#The events listed in the "Notable events" section would flow better with the rest of the article if they were presented paragraphically. Also, the word "notable" is superfluous as only notable information should be included in any Wikipedia article.
::#The year spans should appear in the body text of the "Use" subsections rather than in the subsection titles.
::#The statement that "The chapel is available to students, alumni, and faculty of all faiths, and a variety of services are held throughout the academic term" appears in the lead, but I cannot find it in the body of the article and I therefore do not see the source for this statement.
::#Is there any reason that the [[Reformed Church in America]] link is pipelinked with the phrase "Dutch Reformed faith"? There is a difference between the [[Reformed Church in America]] and the [[Dutch Reformed Church]], and both refer to themselves as churches rather than faiths.
::#I second David's recommendation above that alt text should be added to the images.
::#Paragraphs should consist of more than one sentence each.

::I look forward to seeing this article up at FAC. Please let me know when you initiate the candidacy. [[User:Neelix|Neelix]] ([[User talk:Neelix|talk]]) 03:26, 27 November 2013 (UTC)

== Ping as you are able ==

Hey ColonelHenry, I think you are the only reviewer who has yet to wrap up your review at my FAC for [[Mucho Macho Man]], I think everyone else caught all the nitpicky stuff, but I would value your input - I'm rather hoping to get it approved before the wikicup round is over (otherwise I'm probably going to be out of the iwkicup, phooey). No worries if you have more critical matters to deal with, but just a ping if you are looking for something relatively easy to do.

== What next? ==

Yes, sir, Colonel Henry. Regarding your tag on [[Metanoia (theology)]], this World War II enlisted veteran readily admits to an overuse of “mistranslation,” and I have removed most of them. You also say that the “article may require cleanup.”
Wikipedia forbids use of the OR material I developed for lectures in my teaching years. So, following Wikipedia procedures, I gathered published material before choosing writing style: (1) essay-style writing as I did in [[St Augustine's College, Canterbury]] and [[St Augustine's Abbey]] or (2) a news-report-style organized to inform readers what authorities say about metanoia and its theological use. I tried to do the second with as much clarity and conciseness and as little theological jargon as I was able. Please tell me more specifically what needs to be done. Or, perhaps, the best way is to leave the tag (many articles have them) and hope that “somebody” will work on the article?
