I see a lot of work has been done since the last GA review, good job!. My only concern is in the lead, it's too short and it doesn't completly summarize the article (no mention of Bass being an actor and a producer). I'm sure this will be fixed in no time, leave me a message on my talk page when it's done. :) -Yamanbaiia 17:15, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

Perfect! good job!!Yamanbaiia 09:45, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

References

Why is "Bass, Lance. Out of Sync, 107-137" here without the book name and ISBN number in a "References" section (which is not here, BTW). Look at the formatting rules. :) --andreasegde 18:58, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

Fixed it. --Lonely Sound 19:28, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

Statement about past marriage

Would this section work better if it was merged into the "Relationships" section? I'm undecided. --Lonely Sound 06:02, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

I've decided to go ahead and merge it. --Lonely Sound 07:03, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

Balance criticism of his acting

in the Film, television and theater section he was criticized for his movie acting but then lists a bunch of acting roles including Broadway. The section should be balanced with "critics generally approved of his performances" or a quote about his acting to show that he improved or that his first film was an exception in some way. Otherwise it doesn't make sense why a bad actor was hired again. Benjiboi 15:23, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Unfortunately, there have not been many "rave reviews" regarding Bass's acting, but I have added some reviews that mentioned postive things about his screen presence. --MgCupcake (talk) 00:31, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
Seems much better now - good job! Benjiboi 00:17, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
Right on. -- ALLSTARecho 03:01, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

Personal Life section too long?

Does anyone else think the Personal Life section can be condensed a bit? Do we really need to know every detail about Bass's relationships, such as where he met the person and what the cause of the break-up was? I feel that it's rather long. --MgCupcake (talk) 05:07, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

My hunch is that it could be trimmed but it may make sense to wait on it for a bit. Until he's in a stable relationship for a while this information is still of utmost interest to many of his fans and it does seem to be referenced well. Give it a few months then hack a bit and see if anyone objects. Benjiboi 21:05, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
Alright, sounds good. --MgCupcake (talk) 00:34, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
All of the broken and blacklisted links have been corrected. Do the links that were "moved permanently" have to be replaced as well? --MgCupcake (talk) 04:59, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
