GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)
It is reasonably well written. a (prose, no copyvios, spelling and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists): It is factually accurate and verifiable. a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR): It is broad in its coverage. a (major aspects): b (focused): It follows the neutral point of view policy. Fair representation without bias: It is stable. No edit wars, etc.: It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate. a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Overall: Pass/Fail:

Problems:

• "Visitors to the National September 11 Memorial currently undergo airport-style screening as part of the "Interim Operating Period", which was expected to end on December 31, 2013." The use of the word currently is warned against in the Manual of Style. Maybe replace with as of <insert date>?
• "He allegedly dressed like a construction worker, then snuck in and convinced an elevator operator into giving him a lift to the tower’s 88th floor. according to court papers." What court papers? Weasel words are warned against in the Manual of Style.

Final commentary: On hold for now, because of the Manual of Style issues. Passed. Acalycine^{(talk/contribs)} 03:23, 28 April 2014 (UTC)

1. @Acalycine: I inserted the date "as of early 2014".
2. I removed the weasel word "court papers" and added "according to news sources".

Thank you for taking the time to review this article (that was pretty quick, considering that I just nominated it three days ago). I have addressed these problems, as well as added some more references and fixed a few dead links. I believe that all MOS issues have now been fixed. Epicgenius (talk) 18:38, 28 April 2014 (UTC)
