I've listed this GA article for peer review because it might finally be on the road to FA. It has been renamed away from being a biography and towards a legal/ethical case. While that emphasis is much less dramatic than the political conflicts that swirled around this case, a approach that views the article as primarily a legal/historical case has helped the article to settle down.

Comments from Natural Cut: I didn't set out to rewrite your introduction but ended up making rather significant changes that I wanted to check with you on, because sometimes every word has been painstakingly assembled through consensus-building efforts on talk pages. (I didn't feel like reading the 44(!) archive pages.) I'll base my edits to the rest of the article on your response.

One comment I do want to make is that a free image relating to the media frenzy would be useful. Natural Cut (talk) 02:26, 9 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

In this case, I would suggest that you be bold. For too long, this case languished as a political battleground for obvious reasons. Now that the emphasis is legal/ethical, it has found focus and, I expect, easier and faster consensus. If what you mean by media frenzy image is this familiar one, then please note that User:Zscout360 deleted it as not free.--Lagelspeil (talk) 03:22, 10 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, I'll go through it with a fine-toothed comb in that case. I had intended to do so today but have been busier than expected. Expect to see something here tomorrow. :-) Natural Cut (talk) 02:46, 12 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You said you wanted to know what to work on before taking to FAC, and my first suggestion would be to get your references into order. A number of your website references lack publisher and/or last access dates, which are the bare minimum needed for WP:V. Books need publisher, author, and page number on top of title. When you've got those mostly straightened out, drop me a note on my talk page and I'll be glad to come back and look at the actual sources themselves, and see how they look in terms of reliability, like I would at FAC. 00:06, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

Done.--Lagelspeil (talk) 02:22, 27 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
