Article quality

[edit]

Does the article have enough sources and general information that it might be worth putting it up for peer review under the idea that after that process, some one may want to take it to GA? It appears to have a fair amount of information and I'm not sure how much else can be found. There appears to be very little about her personal life and her family life. That might be a hinderance because would they want that, long term, for a good article? The other issue is the sidebar with her performances. Should the World Championship and other competitions be included? How much more work should be done before requesting a peer review? --LauraHale (talk) 17:27, 11 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I think the article is good enough for a peer review, but I'm personally not a fan of the featured/good content processes. I agree that we've probably found most of the information that can be used. I've just noted that she has two children; the source says two *young* children but that statement is ambiguous and will date quickly. But, to be honest, the first thing I thought when I found this article was "Where does the name 'Priya' come from?", as I'd never heard it before. I don't know much about paralympic swimming, but I'd think that the World Championship results are important enough to mention, at least. Graham87 07:56, 12 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Priya is a common name in the South Asian subcontinent; is one of her parents of South Asian heritage? Sumanah (talk) 13:58, 4 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'll review this article shortly. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 00:00, 21 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • "waking up at 4am to get pool time." 4 a.m.
  • "Cooper made Paralympic debut at the" made her
  • "She is well known and popular in Australia" could this be moved elsewhere in the section or fleshed out a bit more? Right now it feels just tossed in at random.

I'll put the article on hold and will pass it when the issues are fixed. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 04:32, 21 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The first two are fixed, and I've just removed the third line, the relevant source does say it, but on examination (my first of the source), he was writing that based on how she was introduced at a celebration before the Sydney Olympics. On balance, I don't consider that reliable enough to include here. Courcelles 04:44, 21 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Everything checks out now, so I'll pass the article. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 17:20, 21 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
