Louise Brooks

Ms. Brooks's Centenary is this November 14, 2006, and I feel it would be a nice tribute to have her as Featured Article on that day. I'm starting this proccess now, in case the article needs major revisions, although I'm hoping not. Vanwall 05:02, 11 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Object - See: Wikipedia:What is a featured article?. The article has no references or inline citations at all. This is a must for FAC. Also, there are too many WP:POV issues. For example: Louise Brooks remains a major style influence, is considered one of the great actresses of the movies, an indispensable writer about film, and one of the sexiest stars ever photographed.

Who says she is one of the greatest actresses? Who says she is one of the sexiest stars ever photographed? These are opinions that cannot be proven. --Jayzel 05:17, 11 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I forgot to include such from my offline revision - I am now working on those refs & citations offline - the POV issues will be straightened out. Vanwall 06:48, 11 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Perhaps it would be a good idea to take this off FAC until you're ready, or else you'll likely get a stream of "object"s. Nice article - you've obviously put a lot into it, and I'm glad. Such an interesting personality, and sadly not as well known as she deserves to be. Rossrs 13:14, 11 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I'm looking for this kind constructive criticism; a stream of "Object"s is welcome, as long as they read the comments first, and aren't repetetive. Vanwall 15:44, 11 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Object no refs. pov problems. images need fair use taionale. too many external links. filmography wrong way round. category "bisexual actors"? non-comprehensive - she was a film writer but what did she write about? summarise the main themes of her writings. describe her publications in more detail.

Object It's well-written and informative, but needs work to add references and properly source and justify the images. --NormanEinstein 13:53, 11 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment It's an interesting article, but it isn't too neutral. --Osbus 20:46, 11 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
