[edit] GA on hold: Explanation

This article is close to GA status. I have compared this article to the criteria at WP:WIAGA and have only a few issues that need addressing:

• Last paragraph on Background and personal life section:
  • Inappropriate tone, POV, should be removed entirely.
• Reference format
  • Some reference lack full bibliographical information. For articles where authors are named, please name them in your references as well.
• Image issues:
  • The image is inappropriate. It is a screenshot of a TV program, and as such, should only be used to illustrate an article or commentary about the PROGRAM or STATION in question. Any other use may constitute copyright infringement. This is all in the copyright tag on the image in question. NOTE: This problem goes away if you remove the image entirely. The lack of images will NOT affect an article's GA status, but an incorrectly used one WILL. Untill and unless a suitable free image can be found, consider using no image at all.

The hold will expire in 7 days. Please make these changes within that time frame, and I will promote this article to GA status. If these changes are not made within 7 days, I will have to fail the article, at which point you would have to renominate it again at WP:GAC See me at my talk page if you have any questions. --Jayron32|talk|contribs 00:26, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

I've done everything needed. The first thing that needed to be changed was some vandalism someone added...I thought the tone of it would be evident. The second thing has been done, but three of the links have now died. Every other link has the information. The third thing has been done, but it was requested that we need a photograph of her, and she's very reclusive when she isn't on TV, so it's not easy to get a free version. I'm just throwing that out there. Mike H. I did "That's hot" first! 22:39, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Passed

All fixes have been made. Some further notes on Images. 1) The copyright tag on most images, and several of the policy pages also state that, and I am paraphrasing from memory. "Images of people merely used to show what they look like may not be covered under fair use." Also, it should be noted, that WP:WIAGA, the good article criteria, also states that no article can be withheld from being a Good Article merely because it has no images. What that boils down to is that in most cases, while "free" images are best, no image will trump misuse of a copyright image. By the way, the page [1] has a picture of her which may be free. It took me less than 30 seconds to find. That image also has a better claim, if it IS copyright, to be covered under fair use, than the one you used. You will have to do some poking around to find out the State of Florida copyright claims on Government images, but even assuming it ISN'T free, using it woudl PROBABLY be fair use, assuming a proper FAIR-USE rationale is provided on the image page. If you need help with this, let me know and I will see what I can do. --Jayron32|talk|contribs 23:04, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

According to the history, this article is the 2,000th Good Article. I'll continue checking this out and report back here when I get more confirmation. Smomo 18:13, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

• That image looks good to me, Jayron32. I'll upload it to the Commons with an explanation of Florida copyright. --Strangerer (Talk) 08:21, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Senate

She has been rather quiet since elected to the Senate. Any new details we should know about for the article? Mike H. I did "That's hot" first! 07:31, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
