The images need fair use rationales and the lead should be expanded to better summarize the article. See WP:LEAD. I'd recommend fixing these things before somebody quick fails it. It would also be beneficial to include an infobox as well. -- Nehrams2020 18:20, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
This article's Good Article promotion has been put on hold. During review, some issues were discovered that can be resolved without a major re-write. This is how the article, as of May 27, 2007, compares against the six good article criteria:
Please address these matters soon and then leave a note here showing how they have been resolved. After 48 hours the article should be reviewed again. If these issues are not addressed within 7 days, the article may be failed without further notice. Thank you for your work so far. — -- Phoenix2 ( talk, review) 17:16, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
Okay, I have fattened the lead a bit, alluding to some of the information that is explored more completely later in the article. I think the lead now gives the reader as least some initial idea of who she is and what she has been involved with. I also removed the left-justification for two of the images per the GA review. I think the George cover looks better left-justified, though, since all the others are right justified. And I do think the cover is valid fair use, since the cover proclaims that it contains info on the "new divas of politics" which refers to the article on Higgins. It seems relevant to me to note that the George editorial staff would choose Higgins, an affluent, politically-connected yet libertarian-leaning conservative for inclusion in the very first issue of their political lifestyle magazine. Such information sheds light on both the magazine and Higgins. How would you recommend that I word that in the fair use rationale? How should I go about revising the article to reflect this? I think there is probably a fine line between making too big a deal of it (and thus likely crossing into OR territory) and the current version, which probably doesn't connect the dots well enough on this front.

This article has been reviewed as part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/Project quality task force. I believe the article currently meets the criteria and should remain listed as a Good article. The article history has been updated to reflect this review. Regards, Ruslik ( talk) 08:35, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
You reverted my edits with summary "Was fine as it was", which means that a missing period and a dead link were fine (I repaired them). I moved the image only because it interfered with 'Notes' section. As to the paragraphs, is it good to begin the article with a single-sentence paragraph? Wikipedia:Guide_to_layout says that the number of such paragraphs should be minimized, but the article in the present form has 3 of them. Ruslik ( talk) 09:38, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
Should be US format, as she is a US person.-- Epeefleche ( talk) 07:21, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
