[edit] Failed "good article" nomination

This article failed good article nomination. This is how the article, as of February 10, 2008, compares against the six good article criteria:

1. Well written?: fail
2. Factually accurate?: not examined
3. Broad in coverage?: pass
4. Neutral point of view?: not examined
5. Article stability? pass
6. Images?: fail

Regarding the main picture, see Wikipedia:Non-free content#Unacceptable use Images #12. As to well written, this needs a lot of copy editing work. In the bio area, you have him doing graduate work at Northwestern, did he did undergraduate work somewhere first? Then later it appears you tried ti wikilink Northwestern, but the first set of [[ are missing. Then there is the "Education" section, which is a single paragraph section, it should be combined with the "Biography" section. Under "Critical Responses" you have what appears to be a reference that is not a footnote. Related to that is there are several instances of an external link formated as a wikilink so they do not render properly. And then related to the sections, several section Headers fail the WP:MOS as only the first word in a header is capitalized, unless it is a proper noun. Thus "Critical Responses" -> "Critical responses". Next the whole huge sections about NLP violates WP:UNDUE, and much of it transfered to the article on NLP. Though this is his defining achievement/notoriety, it is out of balance and goes into details about the program that are not needed in his article. You have two "See also" sections, with one empty, and the other one includes items linked to in the body of the article (generally, as the title of the section implies, link to items that are related but not already linked to). Lastly, this has some citation issues, some need to be converted to full citations (if it is an undated item retrieved from the web you need an access date) and at least one other needs a fix with its date (scroll to the bottom and you will see). Overall, this has a lot of content, but a fair amount should be moved to the NLP article, and the rest vetted for WP:MOS issues.

When these issues are addressed, the article can be renominated. If you feel that this review is in error, feel free to take it have it reassessed. Thank you for your work so far.— Aboutmovies (talk) 09:31, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
