Talk:Health and appearance of Michael Jackson/GA1

GA Review

Article is very well-written, though I did make a few minor copy-editting changes and fixed an issue with the reference citations. I have to admit, I kind of laughed at the topic when I first saw it at WP:GAN, thinking, "WTF? How did this pass WP:NOTABILITY?" But after reading it, the topic is presented quite well and makes sense, and sheds a lot of light on the pop singer's health and appearance issues. The lead section summarizes the article very well also. It is well-cited, though perhaps a little too dependent on the Taraborrelli text -- could be an issue for the folks at WP:FAC, but I think with the other references cited, it's good for GA. As far as the completeness criterion, I think it covers all of the major aspects of his conditions.

I don't see any issues with WP:NPOV or stability. Most of the edits were done by Realist2, with some help by others here and there. Nice work! The images are all tagged appropriately.

So this article passes the Good article criteria and will be listed. Dr. Cash (talk) 16:33, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for that, agree there is a slight over usage of Taraborrelli, but as his book is the most respected on the subject (Mr. Jackson) it only seems like a logical choice to use it. As for FA, I don't think I could stomach it, getting Michael Jackson to FA nearly killed me. :-) — Realist² 16:46, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
