GA Reassessment

This article has been reviewed as part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/Project quality task force in an effort to ensure all listed Good articles continue to meet the Good article criteria. I believe the article currently meets the criteria and should remain listed as a Good article. The article history has been updated to reflect this review.

The article was not without issues though, some of which I have addressed. First of all, the practice of consistently referring to John Lennon as "Lennon" had to be changed. Granted, he is inextricably associated with the name "Lennon", but it is still absurd to refer to a five-year-old boy by his last name, in an article about his father. If anyone is "Lennon" in this article, it's Alf. I think I got all of these.

Further, the language is a bit unencyclopaedic at times; I tried to remove the worst instances. There is a tendency towards over-linking, which I did not do anything about, but should be addressed if the article is taken to a higher level. Finally, the urban legend section seems like it might constitute WP:OR. I wasn't entirely sure what to do with this, but possibly the whole section should simply be removed.

"There is a tendency towards over-linking". Please sir, can you mark my homework now?--andreasegde (talk) 21:30, 24 April 2010 (UTC)
