Nice article! A few things to work on:

• In the lead, cite a ref that establishes her middle name is 'Barbra'.

I removed this part. I'm not sure where I could find a valid source listing this. HorrorFan121 (talk) 08:35, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

• Also, the lead paragraph "Michele bases Rachel on herself when she was younger, and also draws inspiration for the character variously from films including Election, and television portrayals such as the Gossip Girl character Blair Waldorf. She has explained: "[Blair] is shady, but you still love her. She's still vulnerable. That's what I try to do with Rachel. Rachel will never be popular because her looks aren't considered beautiful, and when I was in high school it was the same for me. I didn't get a nose job, and every single girl around me did. Therefore, I was out. I was not cool. What's so great about Glee is that it shows you how that kind of stuff hurts, but it doesn't matter: You can still be who you want to be. And in four years, high school will be over and all of that crap won't matter anyway."

• Let's remove the stricken-out portion as its beyond summary and is repeated in another section :)

I removed some of it, and reworded the rest into more of a summary rather than an exact copy of the paragraph in the "Development" section. HorrorFan121 (talk) 08:35, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

• The url for reference no. 24 appears to be non-static, and has moved. -- Rcej (Robert) - talk 08:14, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

I had to do some searching, but ref 24 is now working again. HorrorFan121 (talk) 08:55, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

Very good. With that, I am going to pass now! I have gone over every ref, verified each img, checked everything... all green! I stop when I find nothing else to fiddle with. Anyway, glad I got to do this review; I adore Lea Michele and Rachel!! Nice working with you ;) Rcej (Robert) - talk 06:14, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

Nice working with you too! ;) I plan to put more work into the Glee related character articles. Maybe we'll work together on a GA review again sometime. HorrorFan121 (talk) 06:17, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
