a (fair representation): b (all significant views):
It is stable.
It contains
images, where possible, to illustrate the topic.
a (tagged and captioned): b lack of images (does not in itself exclude GA): c (non-free images have
fair use rationales):
Overall:
a Pass/Fail:
Reasons for verdict and suggestions:
I have place the article on hold for the following reasons:
Section 2a & c - The article has few references and many unreferenced statements, with an unhealthy dabbling of weasel words. For example: "she would be the finest, most luxurious craft", says who exactly? "Never ... would there be a luckier or more successful ship", says who? Another example is the statement that "her memory is honored, and she is recalled in dozens of local history books", except that none of these books are referenced. It smacks of
WP:OR
Section 4b - There is not much about the criticism of the boat. If there was none, say it and cite it. Would also be nice to know how profitable the boat was if that information is available.
On the whole, the article flows well, follows
WP:MoS, is stable, and has good images to back up the text. However, references do seriously need to be addressed to allow this article to reach GA standard. A GAN can be on hold for a minimum of 2 days and a maximum of 7. If you have addressed the above issues, please leave a message on my
talk page and I will come and re-review! Good luck and happy editing!

This article has been reviewed as part of
Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/Project quality task force. I believe the article currently meets the criteria and should remain listed as a
Good article. I do have some comments that should be considered however. Firstly, the prose is a little dramatic in places and as a result doesn't always read well. I recommend a good copyedit by someone not closely involved in the subject to level this out. Secondly, the article would benefit significantly from a new lead. The current one is in effect the opening paragraph of Construction and does not introduce and summarise the article as a lead should, see
WP:Lead for details. The article history has been updated to reflect this review. Regards,

Unfortunately, I do not know the names. Although the Alberta and Artic Transportation Company does some up a few times in our old newspapers. Some of our pioneer residents became involved with the company, but the details escape me just now. I'll take a peek back at my references and see if I can find anything else.
