Eva Cassidy
This peer review discussion has been closed. I've listed this article for peer review because… it just passed the GA nomination and I am wondering what kind of improvement it would need to have a shot at FA status.

My thoughts and suggestions:


 * Great infobox image
 * Take the commas out of the dates of birth and death, the preferences settings of each user enables the dates to be arranged either month then day or year month day etc, and if there are commas in the wrong place this can upset this. Each user will see the commas the way they have requested to, you don't need to add them into the text.
 * Hi, thanks for the review. If I read MOS:DATE correctly, the current date format is compatible with the autoformatting as well.


 * First para of the lead needs cites
 * Cite Wake up to Wogam as a widely listened to show
 * I found two sources for this. Am going to add it to the main text to prevent cluterring the lead with refs.


 * In early life, cites [4][5] and [2] need to be ordered to [2][4][5], and this needs to be done throughout
 * done


 * That citation needed tag needes to be filled.
 * I can't find any sources to back that up. Will remove it.


 * One line paragraph at the end of "music career" could be merged with the previous paragraph.
 * done


 * As with the lead, same comments apply to fully wikilinked dates in the prose
 * You don't need to refer to her as "eva cassidy" thoughout, after a while, "cassidy" will do.
 * It reads strange to me to refer to all mention of her as Cassidy. I removed some but kept a few mention such as those at the start of some sections


 * bump up the image size a little.
 * done


 * posthumous recognition section has a couple of very short paragraphs that could be merged.
 * I combined the two paragraphs. But it still reads like a list to me. Not sure how to fix that.


 * Paragraph merge comment could apply to Unofficial releases and future film sections too
 * Merged unofficial releases. Future film is only one paragraph.


 * Also increae image size of the "offending cover" image
 * That's the actual size of the pic I uploaded. Will have to reupload another.


 * The accompaniment section is a bit out of context given where it is, perhaps merge into prose in the musical career section?
 * Removed and added to navbox


 * popular media section, merge those tiny paragraphs
 * done


 * possible reflist|2 that ref section
 * It's already using reflist|2


 * References and further reading should be notes and further reading, or just refernces, with the refs under a sub heading of "notes" and the books under "books" as they are. I recommend the latter option.
 * done

Good article, hope those comments help. SGGH speak! 13:20, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
