Aradia, or the Gospel of the Witches [1] Mid January 25, 2007 Featured article FA 0.5
Janet Farrar [2] High January 6, 2007 Good article GA Since I marked the article as GA-class, I'd just like to comment that it's been tagged as a GA since February and appears well-referenced, well-illustrated, and fairly neutral and stable. - AdelaMae (talk - contribs) 02:50, 7 December 2006 (UTC) (edit comment)
Stewart Farrar [3] High January 5, 2007 Good article GA Article was passed as a GA - here are the comments from Katsam, who passed it. - AdelaMae (talk - contribs) 16:59, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] GA

I'm passing this article. I don't know anything about Stewart Farrar or Neopaganism but it is a well-referenced article and smoothly written, easy for an uninvolved person to understand.

Some suggestions: I did notice that the footnotes were mostly inside the punctuation when I think they're supposed to be outside the punctuation, but that's a quibble. A meatier suggestion is that it would be good to know why Farrar was considered so influential in Wiccan/Neopagan circles. Was it because of the What Witches Do book? Did he attract people into Wicca/Neopaganism with his novels? Or was it the Eight Sabbats for Witches book? And finally, if you're going to mention that he had seven wives, maybe you should mention it in the "early life and career" section -- it's a little too startling to be packed into a sentence fragment.

[edit] Importance

I rated this as High, but I'm very much of the opinion it's BARELY high importance, as it IS. I think the article needs to show his importance more, and maybe that isn't a reasons for saying mid level importance, but a quality issue, which si why I went with high. He is, outside of Alex Sanders, the most well known Alexandrian, and co-author of a number of seminal works about Wicca.--Vidkun 18:44, 4 January 2007 (UTC) (edit comment)

Stregheria [4] High January 10, 2007 Good article GA
Neopaganism [5] Top January 6, 2007 B Article has a lot of information, but it seems that it is generally agreed to be a bit of a mess. Needs more source citations and cleanup. - AdelaMae (t - c - wpn) 06:46, 6 January 2007 (UTC) (edit comment)
Alex Sanders (Wiccan) [6] High January 22, 2007 B
Gerald Gardner [7] High January 14, 2007 B I rated this article as B-class because it is decent as it stands, but could be a lot more thorough as there is quite a bit more information available on Gardner. - AdelaMae (talk - contribs) 03:02, 7 December 2006 (UTC) (edit comment)
Wicca [8] High January 5, 2007 B I have rated this article in both the quality and importance scales. I gave it a B for quality, because while it does tell a lot about Wicca in general, it needs a whole lot more sourcing. As for importance, considering that from a reader's POV, Wicca is probably one of the most notable forms of NeoPaganism, I feel this justifies a High rating, maybe verging on Top.--Vidkun 18:30, 4 January 2007 (UTC) (edit comment)
Bideford witch trial [9] Mid January 25, 2007 B
Feri Tradition [10] Low January 11, 2007 B Looks like it could be a GA with cleanup. - AdelaMae (t - c - wpn) 00:42, 11 January 2007 (UTC) (edit comment)
Artemis [11] January 25, 2007 B Some reference to her history before the Indo-European conquest of Greece is probably called for. See Karl Kerényi's books for some details. Badbilltucker 20:47, 24 January 2007 (UTC) (edit comment)

Gerina Dunwich [21] Low January 14, 2007 Start The article is more than a stub, but it is rather disorganized and lacks references, which is very much a bad thing in a bio of a living person. It seems to be on the right path. - AdelaMae (t - c - wpn) 09:47, 9 December 2006 (UTC) (edit comment)
Allen H. Greenfield [22] February 2, 2007 Start New article, looks pretty darned good but it is fighting an AfD. Once the KEEP is in, I would upgrade this to a B. --Bill W. Smith, Jr. (talk/contribs) 01:17, 2 February 2007 (UTC) (edit comment)
