Comment: Became GA on 1/22/2020

Improved to Good Article status by Skyes(BYU) (talk). Self-nominated at 20:49, 22 January 2020 (UTC).[reply]

Article listed as GA 1/22/2020, not previously ITN or DYK, long enough, well cited, all 4 hooks stated in article and supported by inline citations and labeled as refs, no dispute tags, meets BLP criteria, neutrally written, not at AFD. QPQ completed. Hooks are all formatted well, are short enough, neutral, and focus on unusual facts. ALT0 wins my vote for the surprise effect! Good to go.

LGBTQIA+ Rights Dispute

Hello @FreeThinker37 , Could you please tell me where in the cited article for her LGBTQIA+ views Meyer " sent a message privately to Stewart containing a friendly message, along with a cease and desist notice". I couldn't find any evidence in the linked source which I why I removed the section that you added back. I also feel like the later half of the section that reads " The sudden homophobic retaliation of the statement was not surprising to many long time Stephenie Meyer detractors" is quite editorialized. I don't see how a 2009 article is relevant to a far more recent alleged homophobic incident (that still hasn't been proven) Woahitsraj (talk) 09:42, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

-{{ping|James343e}}, you have twice removed the part of the sentence in the lead that "feminists have questioned the emphasis Meyer puts on romantic relationships." Per [[WP:LEAD]], this information does not have to be in-line cited in the lead. The information is supported by citations in the "Feminism" sub-section under "Views": "Meyer has been criticized by feminists who consider Meyer an antifeminist writer. They say that the series romanticizes a physically abusive relationship, pointing to red flags that include Bella's entire life revolving around Edward; never being in control of her own life; being absolutely dependent on Edward's ability to protect her life, her virginity, and her humanity; and the physical injuries Bella suffers from finally consummating her relationship with Edward." That sentence is amply supported by in-line citations on the page. I would like to return the information to the lead. Do you object?

-:I totally agree in the body of the text it is explicitly said feminists critize Meyer's work. However, it is not said that Meyer is criticized by feminists for being romantic in general, but rather because Meyer "romanticizes a physically abusive relationship". It is completely different and [[original research]] to say that Meyer "is criticized for putting emphasis on romantic relationships" in general, when the body of the text explicitly says she is criticized for romanticizing physically abusive relationships in particular, rather than any kind of romantic relationship.[[User:James343e|James343e]] ([[User talk:James343e|talk]]) 22:50, 7 August 2020 (UTC)
