I will review this article. I will do my best to get to at least the various parts of the review of the article within a time period of Seven Days... — Cirt (talk) 02:15, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
Image review[edit]
File:NickStuartHeadshot.jpg = {{not done}} = good use of fair use rationale argumentation. However, perhaps some more research would turn up more free-use images. Also, it would be nice to at least know the circa time period of this photo.File:NickStuartSueCarol1928.jpg = {{not done}} = please add date to date field. Also, could this one be moved to Wikimedia Commons ?- File:SueCarol-Baby.1932.jpg = = no issues here.
- Request: Can you please take those responses, and respond instead, below my above comments? Thank you, — Cirt (talk) 04:53, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
- Regarding #1 above - I thought the infobox pix, as the "main image" could be fair use. Will endeavor to replace it with a true free-use image. Done - have replaced fair use photo with pd photo. Onel5969 TT me 20:14, 10 October 2015 (UTC)

Good article nomination on hold[edit]
This article's Good Article nomination has been put on hold. During review, some issues were discovered that can be resolved without a major re-write. This is how the article, as of October 11, 2015, compares against the six good article criteria:
- 1. Well written?:
- NOTE: Please respond, below all the comments, and not interspersed throughout, thanks!
- Please break up Career in film into perhaps two daughter sects to segment transitions of periods of time in his life.
- Per WP:LEAD, please expand lede intro sect to fully function as a standalone summary of the entire article's contents.
- Personal life and life after film = suggest place Personal life into the sect for Early life life and if you can't find more sourced info, have it be a few separate paragraphs in that sect called Early life and family.
- Two (run-on) sentences on Early life. Please break out this info into a sect, Early life, and try to expand a bit more.
- Final sect could be titled Later life and death.
- Issues with long sentences and overuse of commas to try to string those sentences together. Please go through and improve conciseness, try splitting up long sentences when possible.
- 2. Verifiable?: Duly cited, throughout. But ... is this source something that passes our WP:RS standards?
- 3. Broad in coverage?:
- Did he live with his parents after coming to USA?
- Who were his parents? Siblings?
- Why did he move to USA?
- How did he get from Ohio to working in films?
- 4. Neutral point of view?: Presented in a matter of fact tone.
- 5. Stable? Passes here.
- 6. Images?: Passes here.
#NOTE: Please respond, below all the comments, and not interspersed throughout, thanks!
Please address these matters soon and then leave a note here showing how they have been resolved. Within 7 days, the article should be reviewed again. If these issues are not addressed by then, the article may be failed without further notice. Thank you for your work so far. — Cirt (talk) 04:10, 11 October 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks for the suggestions. Will begin the work on it and ping you when I finish. Thanks again. Onel5969 TT me 19:20, 11 October 2015 (UTC)
- Career section broken up into appropriate subsections.
- Lead re-written to better reflect a synopsis of the entire article, containing elements of all important aspects of the article.
- Based on reliable sources, re-organized Early Life section. Could not find any more information regarding his early life. Most sources deal with contemporary times during his film career. A few sources deal with his early time in Hollywood, but I could find no sources to go into more depth regarding his childhood and adolescence.
- Corrected run-ons. Nothing from reliable sources that I can expand.
- Done, nice suggestion.
- Think I've accomplished it. Went through, tightened and cleaned up.
- Regarding #2:
- Find a Grave is definitely not a reliable source. However, I thought that if it was for non-contentious issues, such as where they were buried, it could be used. If not, will strike the reference.
- Regarding #3:
- All of these questions must go unanswered with the available sourcing. I looked through about 8 years of early documents regarding Stuart, and none of these questions were answered.
- Anyway, I appreciate your input. It's been invaluable, not only for this GA review, but for future ones as well. Look forward to your response. Onel5969 TT me 04:10, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
