GA Reassessment

Article (edit | visual edit | history) · Article talk (edit | history) · Watch
As part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles' Project quality task force ("GA Sweeps"), all old good articles are being re-reviewed to ensure that they meet current good article criteria (as detailed at WP:WIAGA.) I have determined that this article needs some work to meet current criteria, outlined below:

The article is good, but the problem is content is out of date, at least by one to two years. The lead states " Roberts also signed onto star in Rodeo Girl[6] and the Nancy Drew sequel,[7] but both films have recently been put on hold and have not entered production.[8]" is sourced to late 2007, but there's no indication of further movement or lack thereof.

Done I reworded the sentence to "Roberts is set to be reunited with Nancy Drew director Andrew Fleming on both Rodeo Gal[6][48] and a Nancy Drew sequel,[7] although the latter has been put on hold since 2007.[8] " Crystal Clear x3 [talk] 20:21, 10 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Prose: "Roberts was born in Rhinebeck, New York, United States.[9] She is the daughter of actor Eric Roberts (who was born in Biloxi, Mississippi but raised in Atlanta, Georgia) and his then-girlfriend Kelly Cunningham.[10] Roberts is the stepdaughter of Eliza Roberts. Roberts has one stepsister and one stepbrother, Morgan Simons and Keaton Simons.[11] She is the niece of actresses Julia Roberts and Lisa Roberts Gillan.[12] Roberts said in an interview, "I've just always wanted to act. Ever since I was really little I've wanted to do it. But my mom didn't want to get me into it too young. So, it's just been something I've always wanted to do."[13]"—This is one damn confusing paragraph, mostly because there's way to many Roberts in there. For the sake of clarity, I think it might be better to actually refer to her as "Emma" here.

There's issues with missing and improper punctuation and spacing, redundant phrasing i.e. "Roberts then began to feel bad about the comment so then at the 2009 Kids' Choice Awards Roberts wrote Nick Jonas a hand written apology." (also why is this apology business really necessary for inclusion? Is it that big a deal?)

All references need to be fully and consistently formatted, by hand or via {{cite web}}, et al.
- There are dead links (current ref 29) and there are many possible unreliable references used: what makes eBelle5, Perez Hilton, Kidzworld, girliegossip, and Girl.com.au reliable?
- Using Wikipedia as a source? In my articles? Oh no you didn't! Axe it!

I am putting the article on hold for one week pending improvements. Keep me appraised of updates on the page. Thanks, Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs^(talk) 21:59, 9 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Any progress towards replacing the dead/bad refs? Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs^(talk) 14:49, 14 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

As no progress has been made in the last two weeks or thereabouts on final issues, I am delisting the article. It may be renominated at WP:GAN any time the nominator feels it meets criteria. If someone has questions or comments, my talk page is the proper venue. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs^(talk) 17:24, 28 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
