GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

This article is in decent shape, but it needs more work before it becomes a Good Article.

Is it well written?
A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:
In the Early life and law career section, there's something wrong with this sentence ---> "...but in 1993 after he wife became pregnant". In the Writing career section, "Appel was desperately trying to think of a story idea for show", what do you mean with "show"? Like, "to show", or something?
Check.

B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:
In the Writing career section, please link "Mona Simpson" to its correspondence article, as at the moment it stands out as a disambiguation. Same section, since he's American, "utilised" should be "utilized".
Check.
Is it verifiable with no original research, as shown by a source spot-check?
A. It contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline:
~~There's a couple of sources missing accessdates. The link in Ref. 33 has changed, you might want to fix that.~~
Check.

B. Reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose):

C. It contains no original research:

D. It contains no copyright violations nor plagiarism:
Is it broad in its coverage?
A. It addresses the main aspects of the topic:

B. It stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style):
Is it neutral?
It represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each:
Is it stable?
It does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute:
Is it illustrated, if possible, by images?
A. Images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content:

B. Images are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions:
Overall:
Pass or Fail:
Not that much to do. If the statements above can be answered, I will pass the article. Good luck with improving this article!

All done, I think. Thanks very much. Gran² 11:56, 3 April 2010 (UTC)Reply
- Yes, my concerns have been addressed, and you're welcome for the review. Thank you Gran for getting the stuff I left at the talk page, because I have gone off and placed the article as GA. Congrats. ;) -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 21:33, 4 April 2010 (UTC)Reply
