Eva Peron article

Thanks for reviewing the Eva Peron article on the Good Articles nomination page. I have made the appropriate adjustments regarding fair use rationales. Thank you. Andrew Parodi 10:27, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi Nat. As the GA nominator for the Eva Peron article, I'm curious as to why you graded the article "OK" on "Factual accuracy" in your review. Did you see specific instances where the article lacks accuracy? If you have time, specific comments about this issue would be appreciated; that way the editors can address them while the article is on hold. Thank you for the review! -Fsotrain09 17:41, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

I graded the article OK in Factual accuracy because there are several uncited paragraphs. Statements such as She took a triple dose of painkillers before the parade, and took another two doses when she returned home need to be cited. I'll pass it as GA but, in my opinion, this article is potential FAC (it's already an A-class article which is above GA). As an Argentine, I'd love to see this article featured, but it still needs some work. I'm technically giving a peer-review here, I'll give specific comments for FAC.

  • Inline citations. Since Eva is a historical figure, you'd need more inline citations. As I mentioned above, there are sections completely uncited. Also, possible WP:NPOV violations need a citation, sentences like Nicholas Fraser suggests that Evita is the perfect popular culture icon for our times...(see also WP:AWW and WP:APT).
  • "Trivia" sections are not recommended anymore, you should get rid of it. There are only 2 small paragraphs: the Lisa Simpson reference could be moved to "Popular culture" in the "Legacy" section and the second paragraph is not very relevant so I would delete it.
  • "Notes" go before "External links" and "References" go inside "Notes."
  • Get rid of the red links in the article.
  • The link "(From Time Magazine)" in the "Death" section should be turned into an inline citation.
  • Ask for a copyedit for the article before going to FAC. I'm not a native-English speaker so I'm not suitable for the job, but a good copyeditor may fix things to avoid headaches in FAC.

Good luck! Nat91 19:41, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Thank you very much for the notes. I will look into improving what you suggest. I'll get rid of the trivia section. Maybe the reference to Lisa Simpson as Eva Peron can be moved to the "popular culture" section. And I'll get rid of the personality type bit. I agree with the link to Time magazine article in "Death" section. I didn't insert that into the article. Another editor did, and it was a bit of an argument between the two of us to even get quotation marks around that entry so as to ensure that it was clear that this was the opinion of Time magazine, not the Wikipedia editors.
I'd like to see this article get to Featured Article status. But at the moment, I want to do what I can to just get it to GA status. And I agree, some work is necessary. Thanks again. Andrew Parodi 00:33, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

FAC of bacteria

An editor has made some major changes to this article, could you please return to the FAC and provide some feedback on whether or not these are an improvement? TimVickers 21:17, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Help with Foolscape editor

Hi. Back at the Eva Peron article I am continually being hounded by the editor known as Foolscape. Do you have any suggestions on how to deal with this? Where should I go for help? I'm not opposed to this user offering insight, but I am tired of this user attacking me and assuming bad faith on my part. Andrew Parodi 10:22, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your note. I'll return to the Eva Peron article because I'd like to see it go to FA status. Thanks for willing to work with me on it. I see you're taking a break. Let me know when you've returned. Andrew Parodi 11:14, 28 December 2006 (UTC)


Image:Ccavanaugh.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Ccavanaugh.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. — pd_THOR | =/\= | 15:26, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
