Wikipedia:Peer review/Ann Coulter/archive1
The article has gone through some pretty intense editing recently, removing much POV, adding and formatting references, and removing unnecessarily links and such. I guess this is the logical next step to see where this article goes. Dr. Cash 19:21, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

- POV seems to have largely been taken care of. I would only suggest that the Plagiarism and factual accuracy section be modified in order to remove Coulter's rather extensive screed about plagarism by left-wing authors. Reproducing her claims verbatim is not so much POV as it is a slide into a rather silly discussion about the relative frequency of plagarism in left-wing and right-wing books, and this (mini)discussion seems to give her the floor more than other voices in this "debate".
Now for the hard part. I believe that this article would benefit from a (short) discussion of Coulter's place among the American right: those who have influenced her (not just a list of names.. a little bit more in depth) and about her relationship with the current U.S. right. For instance, I know Andrew Sullivan has harshly criticized her. Are there others? Who are her most prominent supporters? We need a little context, of course without veering off into original research. Furthermore, the article needs to at least mention the whole "invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity" bit. This was unique caused a bit of a stir.
Good luck. --Zantastik talk 03:01, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

- If this article is about a person, please add
{{persondata}}along with the required parameters to the article - see Wikipedia:Persondata for more information. - Per Wikipedia:Context and Wikipedia:Build the web, years with full dates should be linked; for example, link January 15, 2006. Some dates are not linked in the "Irregularities in public registration" section.
- Per WP:MOS#Headings, headings generally do not start with the word 'The'. For example, ==The Biography== would be changed to ==Biography==.
- Please reorder/rename the last few sections to follow guidelines at Wikipedia:Guide to layout.
- Please alphabetize the interlanguage links.
- Per WP:WIAFA, this article's table of contents (ToC) may be too long- consider shrinking it down by merging short sections or using a proper system of daughter pages as per Wikipedia:Summary style.
- This article may need to undergo summary style, where a series of appropriate subpages are used. For example, if the article is United States, than an appropriate subpage would be History of the United States, such that a summary of the subpage exists on the mother article, while the subpage goes into more detail.
- As done in WP:FOOTNOTE, footnotes usually are located right after a punctuation mark (as recommended by the CMS, but not mandatory), such that there is no space inbetween. For example, the sun is larger than the moon [2]. is usually written as the sun is larger than the moon.[2]
- Please ensure that the article has gone through a thorough copyediting so that it exemplifies some of Wikipedia's best work. See also User:Tony1/How to satisfy Criterion 1a.
- Unfortunately the article is far from neutral. IMHO it whitewashes Coulters racist views on Arabs and Muslims by censoring even her own words.
