I so glad this article is up for GAN! This is exactly in my wheelhouse, and Mr. Rogers is so admirable and deserving of a high-quality WP article. More than happy to review.

GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria
Guys, I'm inclined to quickfail this article, sorry to say. It doesn't fulfill enough of the GA criteria. Instead of quickfailing it, though, I'll take the time to explain my reasoning, since this is an important article and should be improved as much as possible.
Guys, I've spent some time working on this article; at first, I thought that improving the prose would be enough, but after working on only a little over a paragraph, I've come to the conclusion that this article needs much more than that. The biggest weakness with this article is how it utilizes sources. For example, many of the sources simply didn't support the statements they were supposed to support. You can't make the sources say what you want them to say, which seems to be what's happened; it seems that editors made statements and then slapped sources on them. That's unacceptable, even for a GA. In addition, there's lots of information from the sources that should be included in the article; for example, there should be more information about Rogers' family, especially his grandfather's influence on him. Rogers came from a wealthy, prominent family, and that's missing from the article. Finally, the prose is problematic, as discussed above in this review.
Here's what I propose: I will take this article on, and bring it up to at least GA quality, but working with what's already here. This article should be a FA, but that will require much more research. Since that would make me a major contributor, I should step down as a reviewer and resubmit it to GAC when it's ready. Then we can talk about improving it further. You'll notice that my edit summaries are more descriptive, something I'd like to continue so that the other editors involved can see what I do and why. In the meantime, I'd like to go ahead and fail this article as a GA, something I always hate doing but which is necessary in this case.
I'll wait for response from this article's current editors, and then move forward. This article, as I state above, needs to be at least a GA before the big movie comes out in Oct. 2019. That's plenty of time, and I'd like to commit to helping make that happen. Christine (Figureskatingfan) ( talk) 16:52, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
