GA Review

Hmm... this is a tough call. I can see that a lot of effort has been put into trying to make this article good, but I think it isn't quite pulling it off right now.

Basically, there are two issues with the page. The first is that it reads very disconnectedly, since it never quite manages to bring together the Jackson arrest with the writing of the song (presumably because Jackson never admitted to it being true), and hence isn't particularly well-written. The second is that a lot of the information in the page has little to do with the song itself. For instance, the themes section mostly just describes the themes of other songs on the same album, and the part about Ghost is never clearly connected back to D.S. either. So, while you've put in an admirable effort, I don't think this article meets the GA criteria.

I apologize if this seems unfair, since judging by the talk page the problem is not with the article editors but with reality (and the NOR policy), but after careful consideration, I'm treating it the same way I did an article I once reviewed where the majority of the references were stripped out due to copyvio issues: even if the problem preventing it from reaching them is beyond the editor's control, a page that doesn't meet the GA criteria cannot be passed.

Sorry, and better luck next time. --erachima talk 05:27, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
