Talk:William Z. Ripley

Failed "good article" nomination
This article failed good article nomination. This is how the article, as of May 28, 2007, compares against the six good article criteria:


 * 1. Well written?: Pass
 * 2. Factually accurate?: Fail Many statements are missing sources, 2 out of the 3 web page references cannot be found.
 * 3. Broad in coverage?: Pass
 * 4. Neutral point of view?: Pass
 * 5. Article stability? Pass
 * 6. Images?: Fail Image should have a correct fair use rationale on them (I suggest Template:Fair use rationale) and it should be more detailed.

When these issues are addressed, the article can be resubmitted for consideration. If you feel that this review is in error, feel free to take it to a GA review. Thank you for your work so far. — The Sunshine Man 11:47, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

I strongly disagree that it should pass the fourth crieria of "Neutral point of view". This article clearly has been written to support and legitimize the racist theories of William Riply. Verde10 (talk) 11:25, 30 March 2012 (UTC)verde10
