Reviewing. But the references on the section heading violate MOS:HEAD and there are entire paragraphs with no references. Unless those issues are fixed, this is likely to be a quick fail before I get to the detailed reading. —David Eppstein (talk) 21:22, 26 March 2016 (UTC)
- One week later, no response. Nominator hasn't edited Wikipedia at all in the last month. Give it one more week maybe? —David Eppstein (talk) 01:25, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
- @David Eppstein: I think we should leave a request at WP:WikiProject Biography and wait for a week more in case someone turns up. Else you should fail it. Sainsf <^>Feel at home 10:02, 6 April 2016 (UTC)
- Still no response, failing. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:53, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
- For some reason I received no notification from Wikipedia of changes here until this one. Understood that you have closed the process now, but I would appreciate feedback, nonetheless, if you are able. The issue raised above is purely one of style. I take it you did not get to a substantive review? On the style issue, my question would be how should one deal with two sources providing background info used throughout a biography section? It certainly seems quite undesirable to simply repeat the same citations constantly throughout the text. Thanks. Jsg68x (talk) 21:48, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
- The DYK rules are that each paragraph should have at least one inline source. Since GA is now supposed to be a superset of DYK, it seems reasonable to apply the same rules here. So if one source is being used for multiple consecutive paragraphs, just re-use the same footnote (using <ref name=...) at the end of each of those paragraphs. —David Eppstein (talk) 01:44, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks for the feedback. I've modified the citations accordingly. I guess I'll resubmit. On a separate note, seems to me that the notification process for these reviews is broken. I was notified that review had begun, but apparently was not automatically subscribed to changes in this page, as nominator, in order to see the comments generated from the review (nor notified that I should manually subscribe in order to see them). It looks to me like I was only notified at the end, when this page was transcluded to the article talk page. I have no idea where I should suggest that this is a problem that needs to be fixed...but it certainly seems like a problem that needs to be fixed. Jsg68x (talk) 06:21, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
