Pre-GA Questions, Comments and Other Reviews

 * Comments: Were this to undergo the same concensus treatment as FA I would be opposing it. Citations are needed and the references that do exist are completely unformatted, and I would question their reliability (a reference from the Urban Dictionary?). There are other issues, but I have no doubt you'll find and deal with them; to raise this to GA would take quite a bit of work. MasterOfHisOwnDomain (talk) 10:10, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

GA REVIEW - Fail


Upon initial review, I'm have placed this article on hold. My primary concerns are:


 * 1) The sourcing is very dubious. WorldFreePoker.com and Urban Dictionary are not reliable sources. I would advise reviewing all the sources for reliability per WP:RS. Also, please format the references using  or something similar. 2
 * 2) The section on "Bitch Slap" is entirely unreferenced. The section on "Hip hop culture" is similarly unreferenced. 2
 * 3) I'm not sure the "Self-Identified Bitches" section is really necessary. Per 3(b), I believe this may be unnecessary detail, and while not a patent violation of WP:BLP, it is still somewhat troubling. It appears there has been a very recent discussion of this very fact, concerning me about the article's stability. 5

The article looks good otherwise, but I can't do a more detailed review until these issues are resolved.

 * It has been approximately a week since my initial review, and my concerns have not been addressed. Given the concerns of the commentators above and below, and my unresolved concerns, I am going to fail this article for GA listing. The V-Man  (Said · Done) 15:57, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

Post-GA Questions, Comments and Other Reviews
Why is this even being promoted as a good article? Its like giving FA to some of the other naughty words on here. The self identified bitches section is bogus and is a target for legal action from the actual artists. Remember, whatever you put in wikipedia, youre a publisher and bound to get in trouble....
