No time this evening, but I will review this. I have made minor edits to it in the past but am not a substantial contributor. MartinPoulter (talk) 21:47, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

Sorry about the continuing delay. I will review soon. I think only minor tweaks are necessary. MartinPoulter (talk) 11:58, 24 May 2011 (UTC)

Making a bunch of minor changes now in readiness for a pass. MartinPoulter (talk) 13:25, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

Full review

1. The article is well-written: I have made a number of copy edits to simplify the text for a general audience.

2. It is based on reliable academic sources which are properly cited, with the most weight given to central, highly-cited research.

3. Broad: Introduces the canonical demonstrations of stereotype threat, but goes beyond them into theoretical issues, long-term effects, and gives a sense of the variety of stereotype threat research. The article is significantly better than some professional textbook sources in this respect.

4. Neutral: The article reflects a mainstream scientific position on the subject, such as is found in textbooks on the topic. No agenda-pushing. Controversy is fairly represented.

5. Stable: no edit-warring.

6. Illustrated: Two free, appropriate images are included. There are concerns about their visual quality (in particular, JPG artefacts on a diagram) but they are adequate for GA. Replacement of those images by SVG (vector) versions would be a welcome improvement.

This deserves a definite pass. Well done to everyone who has worked on it. MartinPoulter (talk) 13:59, 29 May 2011 (UTC)
