Initial impressions

Well formatted, well source in most cases, although the list of TV shows and films he has appeared in is sourced solely to Yahoo! Movies. As well, the article seems stable, but upon investigation of the Protection log it appears this is because it is indefinitely semi-protected. demize (t · c) 23:09, 3 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Review

GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

Some minor issues with phrasing and the focus on Taylor Swift and issues with the referencing, but it should be easy to fix and the article should pass afterwards.

Is it reasonably well written?
A. Prose quality:
Some statements (such as "the film ... had the second biggest opening for a romantic comedy film.") are ambiguous: second biggest opening where? As well, there is possibly a little too much focus on his relationship with Taylor Swift throughout the article and in the personal life section. These two issues, however, are rather minor.

I fixed that statement, and most of the focus in the PL section on Swift is due to Lautner being the subject of her song, "Back to December" and the coverage behind that. If you still think some needs to be removed, do you have any specifics? Candy o32 - Happy New Year :) 15:51, 5 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I see the purpose behind it, and I don't see much of a problem with it, so it's fine. demize (t · c) 17:02, 5 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

B. MoS compliance for lead, layout, words to watch, fiction, and lists:
Is it factually accurate and verifiable?
A. References to sources:

B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:
Some statements (such as those about how much films made) are unsoured, although this is not a major issue. Other statements are sourced, but the source does not confirm the statement. Two that I noticed are "By the age of eleven, Lautner was ranked number one in his category by the American Sports Karate Association." and those supported by reference 36, other than where they are talking about nominations. Furthermore, the entirety of the Filmography section is sourced only to Yahoo! Movies - if possible, more references for this section should be found.

Ooops, I used the wrong source of the number one ranking. Could you explain what you mean by ref 36. And I'll search for another filmography link. Candy o32 - Happy New Year :) 15:51, 5 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Reference 36 talks about nominations for awards rather than winning awards, but some statements about awards being won are sourced to ref 36. Also, ref 36 has now become ref 37, so here's a convenience link: [1]. It appears that there's only one point sourced to it in the table though, so another source should not be hard to find. demize (t · c) 17:02, 5 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

C. No original research:
Is it broad in its coverage?
A. Major aspects:

B. Focused:
Is it neutral?
Fair representation without bias:
Is it stable?
No edit wars, etc:
Under indefinite semi-protection due to BLP violations, but this makes it more stable.
Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?
A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:

B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:
Overall:
Pass or Fail:
~~On hold pending fixes to issues mentioned above.~~
Issues mentioned above fixed. I removed the statement about Lautner being the number one in his category, as I could not find any reliable sources for it. As such, the article passes. Good job. demize (t · c) 23:22, 7 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
