Checking against GA criteria[edit]
- It is reasonably well written.
- a (prose):
b (MoS):
- Relationship with Lennon: The Beatles went to Hamburg in 1960,... - is this a second vist/ I ask because the previous entence talks about him retruning from Hamburg.
- The Beatles went to Hamburg again in April 1962, but she decided that she had had enough of living with Mimi,... - a bit of a non-sequitor there.
- Consistency - sometimes two hyphens are used as punctuation, sometimes one
- Style - it is difficult sometimes to decide which she is being talked about. I would suggest following the WP naming conventions Powell for Cynthia in the early years, Mrs Powell for her mother, Lennon for John Lennon.
- After the marriage, use full married name or his wife as appropriate. It is difficult and other editors may disagree, occasional use of Cynthia may be fine.
- Kenwood: ...nineteen-year-old student Pauline Jones, who was Freddie's fiancée... - who is Freddie? Is this another name for Alf, if so why - keep it consistent.
- The Beatles publicly renounced drugs (although never completely) bad gammar .
- Their decree nisi was granted on 8 November 1968.[95] She learned of Lennon's death while she was staying with friends in London. Wow! twelve years gone just like that. Need something in there. Re-roganise to put Lennon's death in proper chronological order.
- Overall, I feel there is too much trivia and the later section of her life is covered at a gallop. More balance and eveness required. Give the artciel a good copy-edit and see if a better way of resolving the over reliance on given names rather than family names can be resolved.
- a (prose):
- It is factually accurate and verifiable.
- a (references):
b (citations to reliable sources): 
c (OR):
- Well referenced. I assume Good Faith for all print sources. Ref #30 on tripod [1] is not a reliable source;
- a (references):
- It is broad in its coverage.
- a (major aspects): b (focused):
- Rather unbalanced as mentioned above - a little more on her life after John left her and a little les on the rtivia, eg kitchen at Kenwood, etc.
- a (major aspects):
- It follows the neutral point of view policy.
- Fair representation without bias:
- Fair representation without bias:
- It is stable.
- No edit wars, etc.:
- No edit wars, etc.:
- 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):
- No source given for File:Cynthia and Julian at Kenwood.JPG. I think the status of this picture is rather dubious. Likewise no source given for File:Cynthia and brother father.JPG or File:Cynthia and John on flight to USA.jpg
- a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales):
- Overall:
- Pass/Fail:
- Pass/Fail:
OK, I am placing this on hold for seven days for these matters to be considered. Notifying major contributors and projects. Jezhotwells (talk) 00:20, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
- Well nothing has happened so I am de listing this. Jezhotwells (talk) 01:43, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
You may have noticed (by looking at my contributions) that I have been away for 14 days. It's called a holiday, y'know. As for your review, I have to point out that your spelling is not the best: "vist, entence, retruning, gammar, Re-roganise, artciel, rtivia, de listing". The kettle calling the pot black, methinks.--andreasegde (talk) 22:36, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
