Quick-failed Good Article nomination
Two quick-fail criteria of the GA process are instability and cleanup banners. Though a {{tl|future election candidate}} template does not necessitate cleanup or NPOV problems, it does make clear that the article is going to be changing significantly with the upcoming or on-going election. Good Articles should be stable, so I welcome editors to simply renominate the article once any time-sensitive work is completed. If you feel this decision was in error, you may request a reassessment. Thank you for your work so far, VanTucky Talk 21:13, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
:(Copied from User talk:VanTucky [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:VanTucky&diff=169094104&oldid=168948094 here]) The current queue for sportspersons is about 5 weeks and the election is 3 days away. The time sensitive information will be cleared up by the time the article is going to be seriously evaluated. If you like I will wait until after next Tuesday's election, but was anxious to get this in the queue.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 04:32, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
::(also copied from User talk:VanTucky) P.S. Should this be in sportspersons or politicians?--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 04:37, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
:::Just as a further explanation Tony, "not the subject of future events" is part of the wording in the quick-fail criteria of stability. I probably should have mentioned this in the original quick-fail notice, but I think I simply passed it over. Thanks for your hard work, and your patience, VanTucky Talk 23:58, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

GA on hold comments
Just a few things before I pass this for GA:
- The statement "…but some say it may have also been partially due to vocal play selection criticism" needs attribution or removal.
- Its right there, read the ref.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 16:30, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
:::Sorry...my eyes skipped over it. Kakofonous (talk) 18:47, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
- Grammatical issues (I would correct them myself, but I am the reviewer):
- "Then, it continued with consecutive seasons (1996 & 1997)…" Ampersand should be replaced with the word.{{Y}}--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 16:29, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
- "$2.5 million dollars" Either remove the word "dollars" or the symbol. Redundant to have both.{{Y}}--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 16:29, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
- The "Early life" section needs a bit of wikification.{{Y}}--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 16:20, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
- The Persondata section needs some formatting corrections. Look at WP:Persondata for guidelines.{{Y}}--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 16:25, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
That's just about everything I could find. Kakofonous (talk) 03:15, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

:3. Broad in coverage?: Couldn't find anything that seemed to not have thorough coverage.
:4. Neutral point of view?: Pass
:5. Article stability? Pass
:6. Images?: If one of Skrepenak could be located, then great, if not, fine.
