Checking against GA criteria

 * GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)


 * 1) It is reasonably well written.
 * a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
 * In 1984, Rosenthal pioneered seasonal affective disorder, coined the term SAD, and began studying the use of light therapy as a treatment. this does not read well, perhaps "In 1984, Rosenthal pioneered research into seasonal affective disorder, coined the term SAD, and began studying the use of light therapy as a treatment.
 * The lead does not fully summarise the article, please read and apply WP:LEAD.
 * 1) It is factually accurate and verifiable.
 * a (references): b (citations to reliable sources):  c (OR):
 * Sources appear reliable, all significant statements are cited, no evidence of WP:OR.
 * Ref #8 is a dead link.
 * It would be good to use citation templates to display full details of citations.
 * 1) It is broad in its coverage.
 * a (major aspects): b (focused):
 * Good coverage
 * 1) It follows the neutral point of view policy.
 * Fair representation without bias:
 * Is there any criticism of his works? This seems to concentrate just on the positives.
 * 1) It is stable.
 * No edit wars, etc.:
 * Stable
 * 1) It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
 * a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
 * One image used, licensed and captioned.
 * 1) Overall:
 * Pass/Fail:
 * On hold for seven days for the above concerns to be addressed. Jezhotwells (talk) 21:53, 21 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your quick response. I am happy to pass this as a good article. Congratulations! Jezhotwells (talk) 16:45, 22 October 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for your initial evaluation and suggestions. Today I have:
 * Rewrote awkward sentence you cited above.
 * Removed dead link and obsolete source which was only a supportive, self published citation anyway.
 * Expanded and improved the lead.
 * Standardized all citations following the order set out in the citation template
 * Added criticism of his research on SAD. I checked every source listed in the article and this was the only criticism I could find -- — Keithbob •  Talk  • 16:35, 22 October 2011 (UTC)
