I am sorry to inform the users associated with the article that I am quick-failing the article for the following reasons.

- I see you quick-failed Jonita Lattimore. There is a problem with the permalinks on the Sun-Times articles. I have a call into the Chicago Public Library. If you assumed that each failed URL were to a valid print edition page, this would pass the citations. I don't think that almost any of the images are improperly licensed. Can you please elaborate. With this many images if only one or two are improperly licensed, you have misevaluated the images section.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 06:52, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
- I may need to tag the ProQuest newspapers with membership required. I think if you take into account the Newsbank permalink error and a possible need to refine the ProQuest links as membership required, this would pass several of the sections above.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 06:55, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
Renomination for GA??
[edit]Why was this article renominated for GA after zero effort was put into bettering the article? This is one of the most difficult articles to read that I've ever come across. It doesn't flow, and it's not engaging. It's like reading a shopping list of Jonita's accomplishments in paragraph form, is loaded with redlinks, and so on and so on. What this article needs is a serious peer review, not a GA nom. – Kerαunoςcopia◁galaxies 21:13, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
- THANK YOU! Ive been trying to explain this for the past 2 hours! ..:CK:.. (talk2me) 21:24, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
- I have to ask the same thing. For example, the first paragraph under Personal is just a series of sentences thrown together, seemingly without any attempt to group even subjects together. Xtzou (Talk) 22:50, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

- It is reasonably well written.
- a (prose):
b (MoS):
- Prose: Most of the content in this article consists of a semi-chronological list of Lattimore's performances. I have to guess that some of these performances were more significant, well-received, notable than others, but the article doesn't give much sense as to which are which. I would like to see some summary of critical responses to her work, for example, and perhaps have the article focus on her most prominent performances. There is very little structure at all to the article, and it includes one
{{very long}}
template that I think is still appropriate. - MoS: leave out some of the wikilinks to common terms (e.g. piano, trumpet, jazz, rhythm and blues. Most of the wikilinks are good and appropriate, but it makes the article so dense with links that it is especially important not to add unnecessary links.

- It is factually accurate and verifiable.
- a (references):
b (citations to reliable sources):
c (OR):
- I have not exhaustively checked references for accuracy, but the article is scrupulously referenced and footnoted. Good job.
- a (references):
- It is broad in its coverage.
- a (major aspects):
b (focused):
- The article does cover major aspects of Lattimore's career, but lacks focus and (as mentioned above) fails to address some crucial matters of interest like critical reactions.
- a (major aspects):
- It follows the neutral point of view policy.
- Fair representation without bias:
- Fair representation without bias:
- It is stable.
- No edit wars, etc.:
- Very stable, mostly static since May 2010.
- No edit wars, etc.:
- It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
- a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales):
b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
- No images at all, so no inappropriate use is possible. This article really ought to have at least one image of the singer, though.
- a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales):
- Overall: you've done a great job on references in this article, but the prose and structure need a great deal of work for it to reach GA status. I see that a couple of sentences got reworded and cleaned up after the previous failed GA, but I think it really needs a substantial top-to-bottom rewrite.
