Talk:Clay Aiken/to do

WP:GA review: as of 21:11, 21 August 2006 (UTC) Overall - an article well on its way to being one of Wikipedia's best Pop Culture profiles. But, it needs to realistically address negative issues as it does positive issues. Please re-nominate once these are fixed.

1. Well-written: PASSED'. Good professional tone. But one area of improvement: WP style issues on italics for all song titles should be consistent.
2. Factually accurate: FAILED.
   • All superlative factual claims need an in-line citation (or reference to original source). For example, "has become the most successful" need either a footnote or an attribution: "... according to the June ##, 2006 XXXXXX magazine."
   • Inaccuracy by omission. The controversies of his celebrity are not covered and put into their proper context. It is likely that users may come to this article wanting to verify lawsuits [1] or rumors about his sexuality [2].
3. Broad in coverage: FAILED. as above, Ii is likely that users may come to this article wanting to verify lawsuits [3] or rumors about his sexuality [4]. We need to address these issues.
4. NPOV compliance: FAILED. By focusing on the "positive" aspects of his fame and not adequately addressing the "negative" aspects, this article fails the to be neutral. As is, it reads more like a well-written fan site entry than a true encyclopedia article on a popular culture icon.
5. Stability: PASSED. Only cosmetic edits in the past seven days.
6. Proper image use: FAILED. Improper use (source omitted) for copyrighted images. Source needs listed or adequately expanded for Image:Clay Aiken JNT poster.jpg, Image:Clay Aiken - Billboard Awards.jpg. This should include the image's owner and a justification as to why it is fair use.
