GA Reassessment

[edit]
Rate Attribute Review Comment
1. Well-written:
1a. the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct. Overall, the prose is acceptable. The biography section suffers from some short paragraphs, although the whole section should probably be expanded.
1b. it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation. The lists seem reasonable. However, some of the external links should either be removed or incorporated as references for the article.
2. Verifiable with no original research:
2a. it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline. Entire sections of this article are without inline citations. Although perhaps parts of the article are verifiable from the general references given, inline citations are normally required for articles that have reached a certain length. A rule of thumb here is that at least one inline citation should be given per paragraph of text. Sources (e.g., imdb) should also be identified for the lists, such as the filmography, contained in the article.
2b. reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose). Entire paragraphs of the Political activism section are entirely without attribution. Direct quotations such as "I've said a lot of off-the-wall things in my life. All I can say about that is I was naive and utterly wrong" from this section lack an inline citation. This section has been tagged for a long time (since 2006), which is my main reason for delisting. This is a WP:BLP after all.
2c. it contains no original research. There doesn't seem to be any original research.
3. Broad in its coverage:
3a. it addresses the main aspects of the topic. It seems broad in its coverage, particularly in the details of Fonda's career. However, some of the sections (such as the biography and awards section) seem quite glancing in their coverage. The awards section doesn't mention any of the academy award nominations, and the biography section is obviously not a complete biography. These sections have the feel of something left over from a restructuring of the article rather than a carefully considered part of it.
3b. it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style). The coverage does not seem to be too detailed.
4. Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each. I am on the fence about whether the "cunt" episode deserves such a prominent treatment in the NBC controversy section of the article. Arguably this violates WP:UNDUE weight.
5. Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute. Stable, except for my own recent removals of content because of WP:BLP concerns.
6. Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio:
6a. media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content.
6b. media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions.
7. Overall assessment.
