rocco is andy kaufman?

well theres theory that he actually is andy kaufman. i think he's strange person - not doubt about it. We doesnt know much about him, he acts like he's in one of Andy sketches ;) Of course he maybe just crazy - but it is worth mentioning about this theory:) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.27.13.201 (talk) 21:31, 8 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

GA Review

This review is transcluded from Talk:Steve Rocco (politician)/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

The article does not meet the GA criteria at this time. While it does appears to be sufficiently well-cited, there are issues with completeness, as well as the overall organization. It doesn't read like a biographical wikipedia article on an individual, but more like a collection of random notes on this guy. It needs better section headers to tie the information together better. There should also be an infobox in the upper right corner as well. A photo would also help (while I understand the man doesn't like to be photographed, a GIS for 'Steve Rocco' does reveal a file photo; is this public domain? can we use it?).

The prose could use an overhaul. It's a bit choppy in places. Please copyedit.

It might help to review WP:MOSBIO for more guidelines on how to write and organize a biographical article.

Not sure if I'd pass this on the WP:NPOV criterion. The overall theme of the article seems pretty negative. While the guy does appear to be somewhat of a social outcast, the overall tone of the article should be more neutral.

I don't really see any edit-warring or stability issues, so it does pass that criterion.

There are no images in the article to judge the image criterion against. While images are not explicitly required for GA, I still think that, if you could find appropriate permission to use the aforementioned file photo, it would contribute to the article.

Hope that gives you some pointers on how to improve the article. Cheers! Dr. Cash (talk) 17:43, 15 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
