Good article nomination on hold

This article's Good Article promotion has been put on hold. During review, some issues were discovered that can be resolved without a major re-write. This is how the article, as of October 24, 2012, compares against the six good article criteria:

1. Well written?: Article is well written, with good structure.

2. Factually accurate?: A few issues here:

Early life = "Citation needed" tag, in 4th paragraph. This must needs be addressed promptly.
New York City and the Factory = "Citation needed" tag, in 3rd paragraph.
The shooting = Uncited paragraphs and sentences scattered throughout. Particularly 'quotations, quotes must have cites after them, even if this block of text is cited to the next appearing cite. Not just at end of paragraph, but also cites at end of each quote or at the very least each sentence where a quote appears.
The shooting - "Citation needed" tag, in 8th paragraph.
Solanas and Warhol = "Citation needed" tag, in 2nd paragraph.

3. Broad in coverage?: Good structure and flow throughout, however going forward for further improvements in quality after GA Review, I'd strongly suggest expanding some of the smaller subsections, as well as going for a peer review and soliciting input on WikiProject talkpages of relevant WikiProjects, and from the Guild of Copyeditors.

4. Neutral point of view?: Written in a neutral tone, however, I'd suggest expanding the Trial subsection.

5. Article stability? Upon check of article edit history and talk page history, no big 'ole disputes, but a few recent changes in edit history, please stay on top of this.

6. Images?: 2 images from Wikimedia Commons check out okay. 2 images of the subject of the article, both hosted on Wikipedia claimed as fair-use = was any attempt made to get free-use licensed images of the subject?

A few issues above, let's see if hopefully they can be addressed soon.

Please address these matters soon and then leave a note here showing how they have been resolved. After 48 hours the article should be reviewed again. If these issues are not addressed within 7 days, the article may be failed without further notice. Thank you for your work so far. — Cirt (talk) 15:10, 24 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
