Even having been through the WP:FA process three times, I'd very much like some extra eyes on this article before deciding whether to test its FA-worthiness. Thanks in advance to all who offer their thoughts. :) RadioKirk (u|t|c) 00:41, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
- It's a decent article, although it seems a little early in her career to build a conclusive story.
- I'd like to see the introduction say a little more about her biography, brief as it is, rather than dwelling on critical praise.
- Too many red links. Many of them may not be needed; at least those that are not notable.
- Reference before the punctuation: "[5],"
- I don't think the "Footnotes" sub-section tag is really necessary in the "References" section. It's considered bad form to only have one sub-section within a section.

- Thanks! I, too think it may be early, but it's quite comprehensive for a new artist. May I make some comments?
- From the times I've been through WP:FAC, leads are supposed to briefly describe who the person is and why they're notable; I thought this one nailed it—and still do. ;)
- I've often seen FAC comments about the introduction being too brief, so I thought I'd mention it.
- The length of the article is the determining factor per WP:LEAD; it will need more there as it grows, certainly. Thanks. :)

- I tried to link only to the most likely near-future articles; I'll look it over again. :) (Edit: I believe each is sufficiently notable for its own article in the near future; feel free to point out any with which you disagree, with my thanks.)
- My experience has been that too many red links generate issues in the FAC. I'd recommend either setting up suitable stubs, or just removing the link.
- That's a good suggestion, thank you.

- I've always done ref before punct except at ends of sentences; no one's mentioned it before... ;) (Edit: I just checked four featureds at random—Arrested Development (TV series), Vivien Leigh, Sunset Blvd. (1950 film) and Music of the United States—and all refs follow punct. Now I'm confused... [grin])
- Wikipedia:Footnotes#Where_to_place_ref_tags
- Okay, following commas and closing parentheses is where I'm not on the same page. ;)

- I always wondered about that, but it looked worse without, to me, because they are footnotes. I'll check similar articles, thanks.
- I've been slammed for that in a FAC, so I thought I'd make mention. But, otherwise, I have no idea where that is documented. — RJH (talk) 17:54, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
- Already fixed after a review of other featureds. Anyway, great comments, and thanks again. :)
