My first GA review! I'll begin shortly. Please check my edit summaries for the reasoning behind the "yes" or "no" checks in the checklist below. Airplaneman ^talk 07:54, 14 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Here's a list of things to check:

It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:
It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.

In depth review[edit]

After these issues are addressed, I believe the article is ready for GA class! Airplaneman ^talk 01:32, 17 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Redlinks

Please fix the redlink (to the main article) under GLAAD Awards section. Airplaneman ^talk 08:15, 14 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

External links

I'm going to continue tomorrow. For now, I'll keep this link for my own reference and give some suggestions soon: http://toolserver.org/%7Edispenser/cgi-bin/webchecklinks.py?page=LGBT_themes_in_American_mainstream_comics Airplaneman ^talk 08:26, 14 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- They all look good except the one named "Queering Super-Manhood: The Gay Superhero in Contemporary Mainstream Comic Books". It appears to be dead. Please take a look. It's ref#29. Airplaneman ^talk 06:44, 15 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Spelling

I've worked out some spelling mistakes. The nominator is encouraged to double check for any remaining errors. Airplaneman ^talk 18:39, 14 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for making the time to do the review. I've been working on the (currently redlinked) see also page for the GLAAD awards. I'll put that up tomorrow and start on the rest of the improvments needed.Yob Mod 19:57, 17 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I felt the need to give back after nominating one article myself :). The process is quite fun, especially with well-suited articles like this one which need very little changes; I learn something about the topic too! Airplaneman ^talk 02:16, 18 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

On hold[edit]

I realize that I'm being extremely picky, but ref 29 just won't load on my computer; I've tried multiple times. I'd like it if it were fixed (that way I can make sure all of the sources are good ones). The redlink is fine since you're working on it. Airplaneman ^talk 06:25, 22 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Here's the actual paper, I think. Ref 29 right now is a funky google scholar search. I'd add it, but I don't know which page is being referenced. - Peregrine Fisher (talk) (contribs) 20:00, 22 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's reference 29 on this article :). Thanks for finding it! Airplaneman ^talk 21:15, 22 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Cool. - Peregrine Fisher (talk) (contribs) 21:25, 22 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, which page... I have no idea. I guess I'll ask YobMod to do it when he can. Sorry, Airplaneman ^talk 01:36, 24 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Pass[edit]

I think this article satisfies the GA criteria, but I encourage the nominator to address the redlink and the non-working reference problems. User:Peregrine Fisher kindly gave the appropriate link, so the reference just needs to be added to the article. One redlink should not determine the quality of this article, and therefore I will pass this article! (Yay, my fist GA review is successful!).
