I'll be happy to review this article for GAC. H1nkles (talk) 15:45, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
GA Review Philosophy[edit]
When I do an article review I like to provide a Heading-by-Heading breakdown of suggestions for how to make the article better. It is done in good faith as a means to improve the article. It does not necessarily mean that the article is not GA quality, or that the issues listed are keeping it from GA approval. I also undertake minor grammatical and prose edits. After I finish this part of the review I will look at the over arching quality of the article in light of the GA criteria and make my determination as to the overall quality of the article.

- Pass or Fail:
Regarding Lead[edit]
- "In the early years of her career with the WWF, she managed her real-life husband Dustin Runnels (known on-screen as Goldust), was a member of the Pretty Mean Sisters alliance, and managed both The Hardy Boyz and Edge and Christian following the Terri Invitational Tournament in 1999". Fairly long sentence, you may want to consider breaking it up.
- Otherwise the lead looks good. H1nkles (talk) 15:50, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
Regarding World Championship Wrestling[edit]
No problems here looks good.
Regarding WWF[edit]
Managing Goldust/P.M.S.[edit]
- This sentence is awkward, "She later joined forces with Jacqueline Moore to form the Pretty Mean Sisters (P.M.S.), who had just ended her alliance with Marc Mero." Consider rewording or breaking into two sentences.
Terri Invitational Tournament[edit]
- I don't think you need to wikilink U.S. Dollar sign. It doesn't really add to the article.
- In this sentence, "They later participated in a "Stink Face match" at SummerSlam, which The Kat won by first performing the move on Runnels.[19][20]" you wiki link "the move" to link to "Stink Face" but you don't link it to the first mention of "stink face" earlier in the sentence. Is there a reason for that? It just seems a bit awkward. H1nkles (talk) 16:02, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
The Radicalz[edit]
- "She accompanied Saturn to the ring at Fully Loaded in July...." July when? 2001? You say 2001 later in the paragraph, you may want to include it here just for clarity.
Regarding Personal Life[edit]
Everything is fine except a one-sentence stub paragraph at the end of the section.
In wrestling and Championships and accomplishments[edit]
Both are good.
Regarding footnotes[edit]
- Per WP:CITE you want to italicize titles of journals, magazines, book titles etc. So I'm not sure about SLAM! Wrestling, if that is just a website or if it is also a magazine, "Wrestling Digest" is another one.
- Your article is very well-referenced. H1nkles (talk) 16:16, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
- Two "Miami Herold" links, footnotes 1 and 27 are dead, they will need to fixed. H1nkles (talk) 16:20, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
- Unfortunately, the Miami Herald has a bad habit of archiving their stories, so that you can't access them again, even by archive.org. I found a copy of the first one, so I added it to the reference. I couldn't find a copy of the second one, but since the information was already sourced by other sources, too...I just removed it.

Overall comments[edit]
- The article is in good shape, really the only hang up are the issues here in the footnotes section. Fix those and I'll pass it with ease.
- Any photo available? It's nice to have one in a GA. Otherwise well done! I'll put it on hold and look forward to your comments. H1nkles (talk) 16:20, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
