[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)
