Detailed Review

Hasn't yet been done 21:45, 13 March 2011 (UTC)

Working on initial look over, review posted in 1-2 days.... 01:18, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

First I would like to Thank Fetch for stepping in with the suggestions, I have just placed this on hold to allow for some addressing of some issues.

- You use some peacock words in there, like "fantastic".

- Prose seems slightly off. You seem to have very short paragraphs that can be merged into other sections and make them more detailed.

- You use very in-descriptive titles for your headings, instead of "Location" you should say something more formal.

- Article has deadlinks.

- Multiple Sections Lacking Sourcing (Can be failed for this, I will give hold time though)

These are just a few of the things I notice with this at the moment. I will give a more detailed review later on. I have placed this on hold for 7 days to allow fixes to these and other issues that will arise. I agree with Fetch though, a tad premature but may be able to be fixed.
This is to be closed as ✗ Fail on: 21:50, 27 March 2011 (UTC) if there is no response where these changes are significantly fixed. Current status: Addressing Issues

Suggestions

Well, Joe hasn't said anything for over a week, so I'm popping in to give a few comments:
- There are quite a few unsourced areas, e.g., in the "Unique and unusual" and "Entertainers in politics" sections (and also elsewhere). This is Not Good™.
- The prose is quite choppy; in a lot of places there are single-sentence paragraphs.
- Not all the images have captions. In the case that a visually impaired user comes across this article, they won't know whose star is whose.
  - Alt text should also be added.
  - All the images are on the right side. Can they be distributed on both sides for a more engaging presentation?
- Section titles are at times too informal; e.g., "On the outside looking in" and "Location, location, location".
- Has anyone given this an in-depth copyedit? That might help resolve some prose issues.
- Live performance is a dab page.
- Some deadlinks that need tagging.
Personally, I feel this nom is a tad premature, but I'll let Joe handle that part :). Thanks, /ƒETCH COMMS / 02:13, 25 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Final Chance

I personally see no efforts to address these mistakes, which are just a few of many that I see. I am getting concerned that no one cares about this nom. Therefore, I am allowing only one additional day to fix these mistakes and if you wish a time extension, please email me. JoeGazz ▲ 23:44, 14 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Suggest that you fail this right now, it has dragged on far too long. Jezhotwells (talk) 02:05, 18 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

For reasons already mentioned (1+ month without work done), I'm failing this GA. Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 03:03, 19 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
