Overall:
Pass/Fail:
It seems to pass. I learned a lot about him from reading this wikipedia article. It links to a external video which is useful. It also has a good layout, and has notes, further reading and external links.
I've changed the status of this nomination to "second opinion" in the hopes that a new reviewer can be found that way, since the original reviewer withdrew after the premature passage was reverted. Even though they then came back and repassed it a few days later, the new review was done so quickly that it would be better if an experienced reviewer checked the article against the criteria (just a quick look finds issues with MOS:LEAD, a GA criterion, which should be fixed prior to passage). A full GA review is needed, starting from scratch. Thank you. BlueMoonset (talk) 02:46, 16 August 2021 (UTC) [updated at 03:26, 16 August 2021 (UTC)][reply]
Hello Czar. I'll be picking up the GA review. I can understand that the previous reviewer passed without comment, as the article is in good shape. I can do some nitpicking with respect to criterion 1 and criterion 4. The level is English required to be able to understand this article is quite high, and I believe we could serve our readers better by using more everyday language (or, when impossible, linking to wiktionary). It may be an overbroad interpretation of criterion 1, so don't feel forced to change all of them.
outre?
how come two of his siblings are mentioned, but not the third?
open bisexual is a phrase I'm not familiar with for describing bisexual and in an open relationship
It's not quite clear what relation the sentence (Goodman was deferred and rejected from the World War II draft.[8]) has to the previous sentence. If it's just some background about something happening before Partisan review removed him, you could put it in a different tense: "Goodman himself had been deferred and rejected from the World War II draft". Or is his rejection part of the advocacy in some manner?
Is it not clear that giving his WWII draft status is related to the previous sentence's mention of his draft avoidance advocacy? Yes, it's background info and without the draft avoidance connection, it likely wouldn't warrant mention. czar18:01, 11 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
late-40s: no hyphen, not an adjective
his lack of wider recognition weathered his resolve -> should we say this in wikivoice? Do we know his inner thoughts?
Goodman was known for his self-expression and this is sourced to his literary executor, the person most qualified to say that Goodman was discouraged by lack of wider recognition czar16:52, 11 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
rut?
lionized?
was not affected by their reaction -> again, this is inner thoughts, so should be attributed / weakened.
that today forms the basis of his legacy -> that forms the basis of his legacy (no need for today)
Goodman doesn't offer a single definition of human nature, and suggests that it needs no definition for others to that some activities are against it -> grammar
As the New Left was born with the Berkeley Free Speech Movement's proactively involved and democratic dialogue,[17] Goodman became known as its philosopher -> grammar?
link common-law marriage, rather than common law to help reader understand
tertium quid?
Goodman's strange celebrity was tied to his physical presence, not the charisma of his platform or gadfly personality. While his celebrity left public circulation as quickly as it came, his principles and outré proposals retained their stature as a vision of human potential -> should this be in wikivoice? I find it too celebratory to be said without explicit attribution. Why 'strange celebrity'?
Why split life and personal life?
It's a common Wikipedia paradigm (cf. Noam Chomsky). The idea is that intricate family and personal details normally distracts from or does not fit in a section about a person's career. czar18:01, 11 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Reading the article, I've come across what appears to be a frequent vacilating between describing the politics of Goodman as analogous to that of modern libertarian politics in the United States and that of bog-standard Anarchism (social anarchism, to be clear). This appears to be, at most generous, a misunderstanding by some past editor of the change in usage of "libertarian" in the US, where the association between libertarianism and socialism held until the 1970s, but I find the use of "decentralist" as indicative of past editors desire to "claim" him as "one of theirs". Is this switching of terminology intentional? 129.82.95.78 (talk) 19:04, 18 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
There's no reason to break it out. It naturally follows that the last sentences in the Life section would be about his death. czar03:15, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ridiculous. That section is "Social criticism". How does it naturally follow that the last sentences in the Social criticism section would be about his death ...? I'll wait. Thanks. 32.209.69.24 (talk) 05:58, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The section is "Life" and the subsection is on the "Social criticism" era of his life. It ends with his death. This is common for biography sections. His death doesn't warrant a separate section. czar11:57, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
So, you either did not see my question or you affirmatively chose to ignore it. Which? I will assume good faith. (Wink, wink.) I will repeat my question. How does it naturally follow that the last sentences in the Social criticism section would be about his death ...? I will also answer my own question (to help you out, here): It makes absolutely no sense to include the details of his death under a section called "Social criticism". Once again, I will break it out. Thanks for playing. 32.209.69.24 (talk) 00:44, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Czar, wouldn't at least a mention of Rorem be fitting? There's a dedicated Grove article about Goodman [1], admittedly, by Rorem himself! In any case, it looks like M.A. Hovland: Musical Settings of American Poetry: a Bibliography includes a list of musical settings to Goodman. Another item in the Grove biblio, T. Nicely: Adam and His Work: a Bibliography of Sources by and about Paul Goodman (1911–72), seems worth inclusion in the further reading. Aza24 (talk)15:17, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, @Aza24! I've been covering Rorem in The Lordly Hudson. Could be worth a mention here in Legacy if you have a source about his poems being set to song beyond Rorem. And yes, definitely worth including Nicely here. I've used that bibiography throughout all the other PG articles and had been using the Further reading here as a worklist. czar15:47, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
