I shall be reviewing this article against the Good Article criteria, following its nomination for Good Article status.

Disambiguations: none found

Linkrot: ~~one found and tagged.[1] Jezhotwells (talk)~~

Checking against GA criteria

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
In 1984, Rosenthal pioneered seasonal affective disorder, coined the term SAD, and began studying the use of light therapy as a treatment. this does not read well, perhaps "In 1984, Rosenthal pioneered research into seasonal affective disorder, coined the term SAD, and began studying the use of light therapy as a treatment.

~~The lead does not fully summarise the article, please read and apply WP:LEAD.~~
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
Sources appear reliable, all significant statements are cited, no evidence of WP:OR.

Ref #8 is a dead link.

It would be good to use citation templates to display full details of citations.
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
Good coverage
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
~~Is there any criticism of his works? This seems to concentrate just on the positives.~~
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:
Stable
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):
One image used, licensed and captioned.
Overall:
Pass/Fail:
On hold for seven days for the above concerns to be addressed. Jezhotwells (talk) 21:53, 21 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your quick response. I am happy to pass this as a good article. Congratulations! Jezhotwells (talk) 16:45, 22 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your initial evaluation and suggestions. Today I have:

Rewrote awkward sentence you cited above.
Removed dead link and obsolete source which was only a supportive, self published citation anyway.
Expanded and improved the lead.
Standardized all citations following the order set out in the citation template
Added criticism of his research on SAD. I checked every source listed in the article and this was the only criticism I could find -- — Keithbob • Talk • 16:35, 22 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
