In the Theories section, there's some confusing writing here. Could someone please review and correct so we can understand exactly what "their parents' means? Thanks 76.99.239.77 (talk) 19:11, 24 May 2017 (UTC) BrattySoulReply
This entire section is only referenced to http://www.rebecca-coriam.com/story-so-far/, which is a primary source. A good article needs to be referenced to reliable secondary or tertiary sources, so unless the standard of referencing improves, this will be an instant fail. It would be ok for me if this source fleshes out some points, but it cannot be used as the sole source for an entire section. I'll carry on because I'm sure there must be secondary sources available here.
Source "The family of missing Chester cruise ship worker Rebecca Coriam made a desperate plea for information at a press conference last week" is dead
the day the ship left Los Angeles - the working source says she was on the Vancouver-to-Alaska route, so that's confusing
that morning better 21 March 2011
http://www.cruisejunkie.com/Overboard.html - 1/ not a reliable secondary source 2/ doesn't seem to give any info, if i keyword search with Wonder/Coriam/Disney there's nothing relevant to the sentence it is supposed to support
Unfortunately I'm going to quickfail this article since in both the Life and Disappearance sections the referencing is not based on verifiable reliable sources (point 2 of the six good article criteria). If the situation changes (and I think the article could be made better with a bit of work and a read of the Good article requirements), I would be happy to review again.

@Mujinga: OK, thanks for getting ahead in the queue to review it; I honestly thought I was going to have to wait another five months or something .
I don't think there's better sourcing available on her life at the moment than her family's account of her life; although you might want to consider that WP:SELFPUB seems to allow it IMO. But ... I did feel this article, which I developed seven years ago, was a bit of a reach for GA to begin with. So now I can move on (I may not be renominating, not for a while, but I will make your recommended improvements; the article can always get better).
