  1. It is reasonably well written.

  4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.
    Fair representation without bias:
  5. It is stable.
    No edit wars, etc.:
  6. 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):
    3 images used: File:No Lifeguard on Duty by Janice Dickinson.jpg (book cover, valid fair use rationale provided), File:Janice Dickinson 2014.jpg (Commons-hosted, cc-by-sa-3.0/GFDL), File:Tyra Banks 2012 Shankbone.JPG (Commons-hosted, cc-by-sa-3.0)
  7. Overall:
    Pass/Fail:
Questions
  • From the References, what is "Hammer, A.J.; Brooke Anderson (June 5, 2006). "'The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency' Reality Show". CNN – via NewsBank."?
  • From Publication history, I don't follow these lines "Another edition was released the same year internationally. The book was re-published in both formats in 2003, with a new cover." - it appears to me that the 2002 edition was a hardcover, the 2003 edition was a mass-market paperback, the 2004 edition was a trade paperback. By "internationally", it just seems like it was in the UK (I don't see any evidence of any foreign language translations). Do you have a mention of the photo credit for the cover art? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Maclean25 (talk • contribs)
  1. That cite is a newscast on television on CNN, and I accessed the full text of it through the news database archive called NewsBank.
  2. Thank you for the suggestion, changed to "United Kingdom" for that part of the publication history.
  3. I don't have a photo credit for the cover art, but if you come across it, please let me know.

Thanks for your helpful input, Maclean25, most appreciated. :) — Cirt (talk) 21:17, 16 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Thanks for the quick response. Are "Hammer, A.J.; Brooke Anderson" the authors or the hosts/news-anchors? The Template:Cite episode examples put a "(host)" beside the host name.
  • In Contents summary, it would be more useful to use the quotebox to provide an illustrative sample of the writing (demonstrating the tone/voice of the writing) rather than using it as a pull quote for the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Maclean25 (talk • contribs)
  1. No problems! They are the hosts/news anchors. Presumably they did some of the reporting but likely their producers did the bulk of the reporting. I've noted "hosts" in parentheses next to them in the cite, per suggestion.
  2. I just removed the quotebox from that sect, as in my experience sometimes some people don't like using them, at all, unfortunately. — Cirt (talk) 22:01, 16 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Conclusion

Two more comments (but neither violating GA criteria) (1) the Reception section mixes in points about the style and genre. It would be better to split that out as a separate section and leave the Reception to the opinion statements. (2) The Cosby involvement/fallout could just as easily be placed in the Impact section. —maclean (talk) 19:44, 17 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks very much! I've looked over your subsequent suggestions and made a bit more copy-editing. — Cirt (talk) 21:09, 17 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
