I am concerned that this article might not meet the GA criteria anymore for the following reasons:
The election support section stops at 2016, and does not comment on 2020 or the upcoming election.
There are many uncited sentences and paragraphs
There are many short, one sentence paragraphs, especially in the Activism section
Is anyone interested in working on this article? If not, it might be sent to GAR. The user who nominated this article for GA status seems to have vanished so I don't know who to ping to notify them. Z1720 (talk) 17:23, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Is it appropriate to do her introduction as a feminist without mentioning that she was an state asset to separate feminism from class issues? Should that not take precedent on the hierarchy of information of her identity? Maosid (talk) 15:27, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Agree that some sections could use a re-write to better organize instead of a dated list of factoids. There are no "citation needed" maintenance tags so if there are claims that need citations it would be good to identify these. It will be a couple of weeks until I can spend some time with this article. Nnev66 (talk) 14:07, 24 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for adding these. I will look for citations and have already added a few. I notice there are sometimes details that may not need to be included in the article (too granular) that don't have sourcing. I'm tempted to remove these, e.g. "Women's Institute for Freedom of the Press" and "Frontline Women's Fund" - do you have thoughts about this? On the latter there is a non-independent web site for half of the claim, but I don't think every organization Steinem has been involve with needs to be listed, especially if it doesn't have WP:RS coverage. Nnev66 (talk) 17:04, 9 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Nnev66: If it is WP:TMI or too much WP:DETAIL, it can be removed. I also don't think every organisation she has been involved with should be listed: only the most notable for Steinem's biography. Z1720 (talk) 15:07, 10 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@AirshipJungleman29: There's some unreliable sources in the article (tv.com, Zimbio) that should be removed. I would also like to see "Personal life" and "In media" sections fixed up more before doing a copyedit and several sections need more level 3 heading to split up the text. "Selected awards and honors" is too detailed and non-notable awards should probably be removed. Overall, the amount of work needed to fix up the formatting seems more than a simple copyedit that I won't be able to complete, and I wouldn't give a "keep" declaration at this time. @Nnev66: are you interested in addressing some of the above? No worries if not. Z1720 (talk) 17:46, 24 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
