[edit] Breakfast with the Arts

I could use some help understanding whether she was a guest or a make-up artist on Breakfast with the Arts (http://www.locatetv.com/tv/breakfast-with-the-arts/1358251 and http://www.locatetv.com/tv/breakfast-with-the-arts/1358274).--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 22:10, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] GA Review

GA review (see here for criteria)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose): b (MoS):

   The writing passes, but it still needs some work. Also, when the article talks about "Ripley's Believe it or Not?", the question mark is not needed.

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars etc.:

6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

This article passes GA although the writing still needs a little bit of work. Thank you for your hard work in improving this article to GA status. Juliancolton ^{The storm still blows...} 18:51, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] "iconic status"

I read that she gained iconic status with a Vanity Fair Demi's Birthday Suit cover of Demi Moore in a body painting in 1992 and wondered what, if anything, that meant. It's sourced, so I read the source.

It turns out to be a rather direct quotation of some gush written by a company that's selling her stuff.

I don't think that this is encyclopedic language, or encyclopedic sourcing. Am I too harsh? -- Hoary (talk) 16:22, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

I gather you are looking at the first paragraph of the lead. In the second paragraph look at the source for the Absolute Gair information.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 05:04, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
