Pope John Paul II[edit]

This is a marvelous article and deserves FAC status. SVera1NY 02:31, 4 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Object. This article is virtually unreferenced except for the Pope's declining health and final days; although they are not, many sections appear highly unsystematic, perhaps because of their sheer length; a section labelled "Others" does not help the reader find anything and seems to contain a collection of factoids that ought to be integrated into the biographical material; and the vast majority of the images in it are copyrighted, added: many tagged as Fair Use but lacking supporting rationale.

    • A more careful count shows that of the 18 images on the page (not counting the coat of arms and the Euro coin) 2 of them are {{nolicense}}, 6 are {{fair use}} with no rationale given, 1 is {{Vatican}} and {{nolicense}} and so may or may not be available, 1 is {{somewebsite}}, and 1 {{Promotional}} but doesn't really meet the requirements for that tag and has no source given anyway. At least one of the images tagged {{PD}} (Image:JPIIassinattem81.jpeg) is dubious; the uploader was asked back in April for source and release information and has not responded. So out of 18 that's 12 with a potential problem. This needs to be addressed quite apart from FA candidacy. TCC (talk) (contribs) 04:52, 4 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Object. The only point I agree with of the above is the general lack of references, but that a lone is a major problem. If this article were better cited, I would support it. - Cuivienen 03:19, 4 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Object:
    1. The images Image:Pjp2c.jpg, Image:JP1meetsJP2.jpg do not have known copyright information.
    2. The image Image:Karol Wojtyla at 12.jpg is tagged as "public domain", but has no indication as to why it is.
    3. The images Image:PalliumJPII.jpg, Image:Pjp2b.jpg, Image:Toronto.jpg, Image:Yad Vashem.jpg, Image:John Paul.jpg have no source information.
    4. The image Image:JPIIassinattem81.jpeg has no source information and no indication as to why it is in the public domain.
    5. The image gallery in "Relations with other religions" doesn't appear to have a point to it and should be removed.

I normally would not care too much, but this is pretty blatant. Image:Pope-poland.jpg is an copyrighted Associated Press file photo (check google if you wish), and has a false public domain message. I'm not saying the pictures should be removed, mind you. The easy solution here would be fore wikipedia to register in Vanuatu, but until then, I suppose this would have to be looked into. --sansvoix 00:52, 8 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
