A user has requested that the Good article community check whether this article's GA status is in need of reassessment.
The reason given for this request was: Notable person section lacks references.
@Andrew nyr:What do you think on specifying an attribute to force the Vancouver citation style for all the references, because currently some names only have initials while other full names. Alternatively, initials there should also be replaced to full names if you don't like Vancouver here. Anyway, some names are in all uppercase letters, and this should be fixed so only the first letter of a full name word is uppercase, not ALL CAPS.

HickoryOughtShirt?4, Alright, I am 99% sure I fixed everything. Thank you for the detailed information on what to fix. I tried to get everything ready before the GA review, but after reading the same words multiple times they all seem to blend together. Sometimes all you need is an objective third-party. Thanks again, Andrew nyrtalkcontribs04:17, 17 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Normally I would ask if two references were needed for non-profit, but I can see this could be construed as a controversial claim so I am OK with leaving it.
The lead is meant to summarize the article, I don't see mentions of UPMC Presbyterian is also connected via enclosed pedestrian bridges and tunnels to UPMC Montefiore hospital, UPMC Western Psychiatric Hospital, the Eye & Ear Institute, Falk Clinic, the University of Pittsburgh School of Nursing's Victoria Hall, the University of Pittsburgh's Lothrop Hall student residence, and multiple university biomedical science towers in the body of the article.
Not sure how I feel about UPMC Presbyterian dates back to the dreams of Louise Wotring Lyle. Unless she actually had dreams about it, this can be seen as "promotional."
Side note 1: In the article, it mentions she started the hospital "on 5,ドル" can this be incorporated?
Please define shortening of Pitt before its first use (ie. University of Pittsburgh (Pitt) )
It's a bit awk to have one sentence by itself. Please merge On November 1, 1926, Children's became the first hospital in the Oakland neighborhood on the campus of the University of Pittsburgh.
Reference 24, 31 doesn't support its claim
Reference 28 and 29 need a specific page (and the other refs are dead)
I think you should get rid of ref 32 because ref 33 is more reliable and contains both claims
Please WL Polio
Ref 34 doesn't say he went on CBS radio to report a successful test
The Jewish Chronicle is a newspaper. Please convert ref 35 in cite news not cite web
In 1981, add comma after date
under the direction of Dr. Thomas E., you already mentioned his name so pls just use last name here
Please reformat ref 41
The last two sentences use the same ref so don't use it twice. Remove the ref after tacrolimus
In the 1970s, the name of the hospital was changed to Presbyterian-University Hospital to reflect the increased academic affiliation., unsourced
Also, the article explicitly says Undue ER delay Andrew Schneider's article last Sunday on Presbyterian-University Hospital ("Presbyterian's emergency room criticized") from my perspective is very accurate. So, some people were for his article and others were against it.
Ref 45 doesn't support the claim
Please merge In 1986, Presbyterian merged with the nearby Montefiore Hospital to create the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, later changing the name to UPMC Presbyterian and Under Starzl, by 1988 Presbyterian Hospital had grown to have one of the world's largest transplant programs with more than half of the worlds' transplants taking place at Presbyterian into one big paragraph
Are three references needed for In 2017 UPMC Presbyterian chair of orthopedics, Freddie Fu performed a repair to European soccer star Zlatan Ibrahimovic's knee after Ibrahimovic tore his ACL during a game
Can 2017 and 2018 be merged? Like just say, the following year
I suggest merging 2017 and 2018 pre: Tree of Life synagogue which can be its own paragraph

This article is a newly promoted GA and meets the newness and length criteria. The image is suitably licensed, the hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. No QPQ needed. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:58, 19 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Z1720: No other editor has touched this article after I made my edits, and it does have other issues. I noticed that a sockpuppet(User:Keystone18) did multiple edits, by changing the titles and moving material around. And the creator of the article last made an edit on Wikipedia in December 2025, so I can't ask him to make any edits. So, I say yes take it to WP:GAR. Catfurball (talk) 16:47, 7 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]
@Catfurball: Sorry to ping again, but can you describe the edits in more detail that caused this article to no longer meet the GA criteria? Alternatively, you can bring this to GAR and describe the concerns there. Z1720 (talk) 02:09, 5 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
@Z1720: My major concern is that the notable people section still lacks references, and my second concern that no one has tried to undo User:Keystone18, an administrator or rollbacker could try to manually undo as much of his edits as possible. Catfurball (talk) 19:30, 5 May 2026 (UTC) And I just added the organize template to the history section, since someone should take a closer look at that section due to the sockpuppet. Catfurball (talk) 19:36, 5 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
@Catfurball: Finished the reverts and did some minor improvements after. I maintained a few minor changes that Keystone made that seemed to be correct. Let me know what you think or if there's anything more that I can do. Thanks! Wikipedialuva (talk) 22:31, 14 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
@Wikipedialuva: The work that needs to be done is to add more references to the notable people section, I am not interested in doing that, you or someone else can improve it. Catfurball (talk) 23:13, 14 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
