I have conducted a reassessment of the above article as part of the GA Sweeps process. I have found some concerns with the referencing which you can see at Talk:Abraham Goldfaden/GA1. I have placed the article on hold whilst these are fixed. Thanks. Jezhotwells (talk) 19:19, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

You appear to have given this article "stub class", however, having expanded the article considerably, and trawling the internet for reliable facts about this player, I would like to suggest that the article is re-assessed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by T.M.M.

I was looking at the article on Natalie Horler from Cascada, and saw she was born in 1981 in Bonn, Germany. My question, for this article and all other articles, is whether it is correct to say Bonn, Germany (as the city is today), or as Bonn, West Germany (as it was when she was born). Can you please hel me on this.
I'm currently writing a biography article in my sandbox. The main problem I'm having is with sources, most of the article is from an autobiography by the subject himself. I'd really like to get this article up by Weds evening at the latest so would welcome comments from project members here. Mjroots (talk) 07:58, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
I'm in danger of slipping into an edit war with Maduro52 about some negative material deleted from the biography of a living politician. Can someone advise me on whether the material is worth keeping? I'm particularly concerned about whether it is adequately sourced. Thank you, --Stepheng3 (talk) 16:45, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Dear Wikipedia. Could editors of Editing Wikipedia/WikiProject Biography please do a reassessment of Josip Broz Tito article. The article is embarrassing. The Eastern European Dictator is portrayed as some sort of pop star (what is this all about & it's very strange) and should not be in any nominations other than the article that lacks NPOV. Also considering he was responsible for war crimes,mass massacres, torture & mass imprisonment makes Wikipedia look like ad for Eastern European Dictatorships. One to mention is the Foibe Massacres (there are BBC documentaries). Wikipedia has an article on this so it’s just contradicting itself. You have one feel-good article about a Dictator then you have an article about the Massacres he approved and organized with the Yugoslav Partisan Army. Then there were Death squads in Southern Dalmatia (the Croatians are putting up monuments for the poor victims & their families now). Also it’s important to mention that the Croatian Government is paying compensation to his former victims. Surely a more critical historical article should be written or this present article should be removed altogether. What is next? A Stalin feel-good article? What about the respect towards the poor victims who suffered those awful events? Can the editors please look into this?Sir Floyd (talk) 04:40, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
I have done a GA Reassessment of Ilaiyaraaja as part of the GA Sweeps project. I have found the article to not meet the current GA Criteria. My assessment can be found here.

If you have any questions or concerns please contact me on my talk page. H1nkles (talk) 16:57, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

The above article has this project's banner on its talk page. I have conducted a reassessment as part of the GA Sweeps process. I have found a large number of concerns with the article which you can see at Talk:Jean Charles de Menezes/GA1. I have de-listed the article. This decision may be challenged at WP:GAR or the article may be improved and re-nominated at WP:GAN. Thanks. Jezhotwells (talk) 19:03, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
it would be very helpful if some interested editors could have a look at the Little Richard article and talk page - there are some ongoing issues (related to BLP, NPOV and RS, among others) that could really use input from more experienced editors. please see the edit history and these talk-page sections: Testimonials Section, comment from Smoovedogg and improving the "Influences" section. thanks Sssoul (talk) 10:29, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Almost all biographical infoboxes display the subject's name. One of, if not the only, exceptions is ((Infobox Ice Hockey Player)). I have raised this matter at Template talk:Infobox Ice Hockey Player#Name, but discussion has stalled. Andy Mabbett (User:Pigsonthewing); Andy's talk; Andy's edits 20:46, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

The above article (about Wasfi Beik al-Atassi (1888 -1933) (Arabic: وصفي الأتاسي) who was a Syrian nationalist, statesman and one of the original writers of the Syrian constitution) has been nominated for deletion by myself.
I could find no non-wiki sources of information online, and no mentions of him in any article apart from the Atassi article, which has one sentence about him, and a sentence in the Hikmat al-Hiraki article.
If anyone here with knowledge of Syrian history has some off-line references which they could add, that would be very useful! The closing date for the PROD is 2009-08-22 21:39>

The article Louis H. Carpenter has passed GA status and an A-Class review suggests some copy-editting work. My American has been influenced by British English and two other languages. Any help is appreciated to get this article up to A/FA class status. Thank you! Jrcrin001 (talk) 05:59, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
There are a lot of authors who have won major awards who are still at stub - ore even red link - status. Would there be interest in starting a workgroup in this area? Sabiona (talk) 15:30, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
Maybe a stupid question, but there do seem to be at least a few individual articles on individual ascended masters, or in some cases articles about multiple ascended masters. Would these articles fall within the scope of this project or not, and, if yes, would they be counted as BLPs if the party in question is to still be "active" whether their old material body died or not? John Carter (talk) 15:12, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
A Google web search for وصفي الأتاسي returns 8250 hits. A Google news search returns 3 hits. A Google books search returns 4 hits.
Unfortuantely, I can't read Arabic (although if I get a chance, I will try using Google's translate service to check out the news and book hits) - so if an Arabic-reading editor could look at these, I'm sure that there will be some reliable sources amongest them!

I've proposed 4 changes to the core biographies list. Please stop by and voice your opinion. Thanks! Kaldari (talk) 16:08, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
((Infobox Ice Hockey Player)) is - so far as I can tell, having edited most - the only biographical infobox not displaying the subject's name. I believe that it (indeed all biographical infoboxes) should do so: not least (but certainly not only) so that it can emit an hCard microformat. Others disagree.
