GA Reassessment[edit]

I'm reviewing this article for GA sweeps. After reading through it, there are some things that need to be done to the article to help it maintain GA status:
- Many of the references are incompletely formatted, or not formatted at all; no bare URLs.
- the following refrences are deadlinks and need to be fixed/replaced: 2, 4, 9, 21, 34, 45, 46, 51, 54, 57, 60, and 65.
- Ironically, while most articles are too recentist, this one peters out after 2007, with virtually no information on the past couple years except for what's in the lead. I'm sure she's been up to something of late, add it in.
- The Pictures album should be improved a bit with a couple more citations.
- There's no structure to the charity work section; it's just a slew of one and two sentence paragraphs.
- The acting career feels out of place at the bottom there. Perhaps we could move the information into another section, or just move the acting part up?
- All quotes have to be cited. Most are, but there are a couple that aren't in the article.
I'll put the article on hold for five days. If progress is being made I can extend the date though. If no progress is made, the article will be delisted, and when everything is completed it will most likely be retained as a GA. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 20:33, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
- I fixed the dead links and standardised the citations. I've also cleared up the charity section, added a little to the Pictures section and re-written and moved the acting section. She really hasn't been doing too much recently (she hasn't released a studio album for three years) but I've added a bit about her almost drowning last year and her recent modelling. --Hera1187 (talk) 16:02, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
- Everything looks good, thanks for fixing everything up. Only other thing that's a bit iffy to me is that you mention her growing up to her uncles playing Queen songs twice, and it ends up being a bit repetitive as written. Otherwise, this is back to GA status. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 04:05, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
