Hi, I added a 'music' section with two bullet points of factual information, as I thought it was needed. -Baberlp

[edit] GA review

I think there are problems at the moment with the lead section (should be a little bit longer and summarise more of the article's content) and 'Early life', which reads like a fan piece and is also in the present tense which can't be right if it's describing her early life. Otherwise it meets the criteria. Worldtraveller 23:32, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

I'll remove it from the nominations for now to avoid cluttering it up. Feel free of course to renominate it when you feel it meets the criteria. Worldtraveller 00:09, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
OK, I think I've fulfilled the requirements now. Mad Jack O'Lantern 00:01, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] USC Application

The article mentions that Sara Paxton applied to USC but was not accepted. This seems a bit anomalous, and calls for an explanation - can't just state this and leave it at that. There must be some reason for the USC decision. Also, most people apply to more than one program, so there must be more to say about all this.

Well, all the info we have is what's on the cited source for that bit. She says she wasn't accepted and leaves it at that, so we don't know anything else... Mad Jack 23:32, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
Specifically all it says is: "her disappointment at not getting into USC's film program" Mad Jack 23:34, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

I checked the USC web site at: USC CNTV It appears that to be admitted you need a creative portfolio (which she certainly has covered) and "a strong academic record", so it's likely that her marks were not up to scratch, possibly because she was so busy with acting and music. She does have the option of re-applying at any time,and could also take some of the courses while studying in a different program. User: JD_Fan


[edit] Good Article nomination has failed

The Good article nomination for Sara Paxton has failed, for the following reason:

I have failed Sara Paxton's good article nomination on two grounds, one of which really spills into the other creating a third. First, there is not nearly enough content. An article with one section of text and some tables is not Good or Featured Article quality just because it is about a pretty lady. Second, the text that is there could probably use some heavier sourcing, certainly some sourcing on her CD release and hopefully move her IMDB page from an external link to ref'ing filmography info. See Diane Keaton for a truly fantabulous article on an actress. Staxringold 14:32, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
And on further review, the images could use some better info. Staxringold 14:35, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Death

[edit] Failed "good article" nomination

This article failed good article nomination. This is how the article, as of June 6, 2007, compares against the six good article criteria:

1. Well written?: Pass
2. Factually accurate?: Pass - excellent
3. Broad in coverage?: Pass
4. Neutral point of view?: Pass
5. Article stability? Pass
6. Images?: Fail Image:DWL.jpg needs a fair use rationale and Image:Photo06sarapaxton01.jpg needs a more detailed rationale.

When these issues are addressed, the article can be resubmitted for consideration. If you feel that this review is in error, feel free to take it to a GA review. Thank you for your work so far.


Kindest Regards
