Lack of clarity
Under "move to London" I have removed the phrase "for which he wrote and duplicated nearly 10,000 gay lib leaflets."

It is not clear how many leaflets he wrote, whether they were on behalf of an organisation or himself, and a source would be good. Rich Farmbrough, 10:01 11 March 2007 (GMT).

what, exactly, is a "hard to let" council flat? Non-British readers wouldn't necessarily be familiar with the term.

In the section about Tatchell's response to Sacha Baron Cohen, the article states that two of Cohen's characters, Ali G and Borat, are "of Muslim heritage". In the first instance, Cohen makes it clear that "Ali G" is a white British youth who is PRETENDING to be Muslim or Jamaican in order to gain "street cred". Ali announces during the show that he lives in Staines(Cohen's own childhood neighborhood in a London suburb). As to Borat, in the film, a shot of the interior of Borat's house in the movie reveals a cross on the wall. Therefore, while Kazakhstan is a historically Muslim country, Borat Sagdiyev is apparently a Christian or of Christian heritage. Later in the film, Borat announces that Kazakhstan has modified some of its historically antisemitic rituals(such as the famous "Running of the Jew" because "we're all Christian now"(which is followed by a shot depicting a new ritual, in which a Jew is crucified.)

External review
The Mail on Sunday carried an article about Wikipedia today. Peter Tatchell was featured complaining that his article is rubbish and "gayist". We may want to go and improve it... Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 11:58, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I'be found a copyright free photo of him and uploaded it to Commons to get the ball rolling... WjBscribe 14:09, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Failed "good article" nomination
This article clearly violates NPOV in several passages, and thus also violates at least one of the major quick-fail criteria of the GA process. Statements such as "he was smeared and attacked by the tabloid press and by fascist graffiti" and "His willingness to tackle a wide variety of human rights issues has earned him the respect of news organizations that used to criticize him." are both uncited and obviously taking a non-neutral stance on an issue. Calling anyone a fascist without an extremely reliable secondary source is not kosher. While this is not part of the quick-fail criteria, the article has numerous facts likely to be challenged that are uncited, and thus it also fails when one considers the strictures of the Biographies of living persons policy. If you believe this decision was in error, you may take it to GA review. Thank you for your work so far. VanTucky (talk) 00:57, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
