Factually accurate and reliable

• For references, use WP:CITET for samples. The items listed have items retrieved in April 2010, but what day in April 2010 was this retreived? Specify. See WP:CITE for more details.
• Three sections in this article are completely lacking references: Features and services, Performers and staff, and the first part of Popular culture. Read Wikipedia policies of WP:NOR. This looks like original research, something that Wikipedia does not allow.
• Italicize the book title in the External links section.

Broad in coverage

• Covers strip clubs mainly in the US and parts of North America though four strip clubs outside of North America are listed in AskMen.com. Legal issues shown are only for the US. What effects are there outside of the US?

Neutral

• It makes no listing of the effects of people who frequent or work at strip clubs. This includes physical, physiological, psychological, emotional, and finanacial results.

Stable

• 231 edits between 24 April and 9 May 2010 in an effort to get article to GA.

Images

• All images listed are valid though the captions do not list when they were taken. For American locations, spell out the American state. In the image in the Strip club and the law section, the image does not seem relevant to the article. Remove. In the last image, where are the strip clubs located in the image in Baltimore? Specify.

Overall

• Fail. Too many problems with article. Major work required to get it to GA. Chris (talk) 13:31, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
