[edit] Tara Conner

Self nom (I was the article creator and have been one of the major contributors) I began to see the potential in this article back in December and have done my best to improve and maintain it so that it might possibly meet the FA criteria. I think it is now up the the test. There have been two peer reviews (see here and here) which I believe I have addressed. There were no major issues in either of them and I have worked to implement all suggestions made. Conner will complete her reign on March 23 and I believe this article is now stable enough to be nominated. I am prepared to do the "hard yards" to work on all suggestions thrown at me here. The subject matter isn't everyone's cup of tea but I feel passionate about pageants so there you go :). -- PageantUpdater • talk | contribs | esperanza 23:04, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

• Comment: The principal area we need improvement is sources. Access Hollywood may, or may not, warrant mention as part of the controversy, but they can't be our source (though we can cite others, who discuss them). Also, the Miss Universe Organization should not be used as our source, as they are not neutral. This is being picky, but for a featured article, on a living person, I suggest, the rule is, 100% independent, reliable sources, even for items that are largely uncontested. Given the ample coverage of her, I'm sure these sources are available. --Rob 02:07, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Reply - the only Miss Universe Org reference is to the titleholder event calendar, which is simply a list of events she has/will be attending, so I cannot see where neutrality issues lie there. I have been able to replace the Bravo TV link with the previously cited Lexington Herald-Leader link. -- PageantUpdater • talk | contribs | esperanza 00:54, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
• Oppose; there are a number of references which don't include the publisher and access date. Please fix this.--The Negotiator 13:39, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
• Oppose, soures could be better and it isn't very well-written. Might pass WP:GAC, send it there first and see what they say.--Wizardman 18:21, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
