GA Reassessment
The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the reassessment.''

This article has been reviewed as part of WikiProject Good articles/Project quality task force in an effort to ensure all listed Good articles continue to meet the Good article criteria. In reviewing the article, I have found there are some issues that may need to be addressed, listed below. I will check back in seven days. If these issues are addressed, the article will remain listed as a Good article. Otherwise, it may be delisted (such a decision may be challenged through WP:GAR). If improved after it has been delisted, it may be nominated at WP:GAN. Feel free to drop a message on my talk page if you have any questions, and many thanks for all the hard work that has gone into this article thus far.

 * Lead
 * The lead is too short to adequately serve as a summary of the article.


 * Career
 * What is the source for the basic biographical detail given in the first paragraph?


 * What of her early life? Apart from the fact he she was born and her parents moved about a bit we see rather little of it until she was 21-years-old.


 * "The marriage was unsuccessful when Wallace began to drink." That doesn't really make sense. "The marriage failed as a result of Wallace's drinking" or similar is what's meant, I suppose.


 * The last half of the last paragraph needs to be cited.


 * Is this article using British or English spelling? I see "programme" and "rumor", for instance.


 * RMS Titanic
 * "Lucile, who was shipwrecked as a child ...". Why is this the first time we hear of this shipwreck, and only in passing at that?


 * I'm really not sure that fair-use image from the 1997 film can be justified, and it's of pretty poor quality anyway.


 * Wood v. Lucy, Lady Duff-Gordon
 * This section is completely uncited. Particularly where quotations, facts, or opinions are being given, they must be cited to reliable sources.


 * Legacy
 * This section is also completely uncited.


 * "The Victoria & Albert Museum in London is scheduled to publish Lucile Ltd by Amy de la Haye and Valerie D. Mendes in June 2009." We're now in 2010.


 * Was her company called "Lucile Ltd", or "Lucile, Ltd"?


 * Footnotes & References
 * The way these are presented is rather confusing: Footnotes gives last name first name, whereas References gives the more usual last name first name, which makes things more difficult to find that they need be. For instance, "Don Lynch" vs "Lynch, Don".


 * There is one dead link.

As these issues remain unaddressed, this article has now been delisted. --Malleus Fatuorum 20:34, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
