"Even her Wikipedia page highlights more her Internet fame as 'sex symbol' than analyse her sports career." Very well done guys.©Tbhotch^™ (en-2.5).18:23, 9 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

There is a very good reason for this article focusing on internet fame of Stokke and not her career: she has not performed at a notable level as a track and field athlete (seeWP:NTRACK). Her notability comes from the extensive sources exploring the phenomenon of sexualization of her as a young woman and a female athlete, hence the article reflects that balance and adds the academic and journalistic discussion on that subject in relation to Stokke. It would be completely wrong for the focus of the article to be that she was the 19th best American collegiate female pole vaulter of 2010 (see deletion discussions). Even so, this article still contains an exhaustive summary of her noteworthy pole vaulting achievements. Wikipedia articles are for documenting social history, not reconstructing it.SFB19:20, 12 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Even her internet fame as a "sex symbol" is due more to public attention focused on Allan Stokke due to his history of creative defenses when handling sex crime cases. The attention was initially caused most directly by the case in late-2006/early-2007 involving Orange County police officer David Alex Park, though an earlier case where he challenged a 16 year old girl's claim of "mental anguish" by pointing out she was unconscious when his clients gang raped her seems to be what really spun up the Internet Hate Machine.SymbolicJester (talk)09:19, 13 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• I think you should include more of her collegiate career achievements in the second paragraph of the lead to enlargen it

 Partly done Expanded the lead a bit. --Emir of Wikipedia (talk)19:37, 1 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• "After trying gymnastics, she took uppole vaulting while attending Newport Harbor High School" - linkgymnastics andpole vaulting
• "In her senior year of high school she ranked second" - need a comma between "school" and "she"
• "She finished eighth at thenational junior championships that year." - national junior championships should have a link toUSATF National Junior Olympic Track & Field Championships

 DoneEmir of Wikipedia (talk)

• "in addition toover a million results on search engines." -more than one million search engine results.
• "It was noted by theLos Angeles Times," - delinked Los Angeles Times as it is already linked in the first paragraph
• "In their book Technology, Power and Culture in the Network Society Brett Hutchins" - comma needed between "Society" and "Brett"

 DoneEmir of Wikipedia (talk)

• "Stokkereached new heights in her second year at college," -had more success
• "scaling 4.21 m (13 ft 9​1⁄2 in) in Sacramento, California underthe watchful eye of Cal coach and former5-time All-American at UCLA, Scott Slover." - change the text in bold toclose observation andfive-time respectfully
• "and made her debut at the NCAA Women's Division I Outdoor Track and Field Championships," -debuted
• "In her last year of collegiate vaulting she did not" - comma needed between "vaulting" and "she"
• "However, in 2011 Stokke did place8th at the" -eighth
• "NCAA Indoor Championships held atTexas A&M," - wikilink Texas A&M toGilliam Indoor Track Stadium
• "By 2016,her GoPro videos have received" - reword the text in bold tothe videos since GoPro is already mentioned in the prior sentence
• Also the source for the above sentence needs not to be the video itself, but an independent website like[1] which has an update figures of the amount of views the video has received
• There is some more info on her post-2012 vaulting activities in this source[2] to aid the development of this sub-section

 Partly done Still need to work on the last point --Emir of Wikipedia (talk)20:03, 25 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• References 8, 9 is missing the author
• Reference 19 should be completly replaced with the following source[3]
• References 20 & 26 are missing the publisher of their respective works

I have added an author for reference 8, but reference 9 has no author named. --Emir of Wikipedia (talk)16:35, 28 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

 Done I did the suggestions for reference 19 and 20, changed the one for 26 to the publisher website. --Emir of Wikipedia (talk)21:22, 29 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This review will be put on hold for the time being.MWright96(talk)15:58, 20 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the quick review MWright96, I have already added your suggestions for the early life section and will hopefully complete the rest tomorrow.Emir of Wikipedia (talk)20:47, 20 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies, only managed to do the Internet fame section over the weekend. I'll try and finish the rest off over the upcoming week. --Emir of Wikipedia (talk)19:28, 22 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

SorryMWright96 if you feel like I've been going to slowly with this. I can understand if you decide to fail this considering that I have not implemented all your suggestions in over a week. Not been able to dedicate that much time and concentration to Wikipedia recently due to personal issues. Thanks for your work here, but I can't imagine that I will get this done before the weekend and will accept whatever decision you make.Emir of Wikipedia (talk)20:29, 2 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Emir of Wikipedia: I will give you all the time that you need to complete this article and will only consider failing it if the remaining issues cannot be addressed.MWright96(talk)14:53, 5 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, since the nominator is inactive and unable to correct the remaining issues, I have taken the decision to fail this nomination. The article itself has potential to attain GA status and can be re-nominated in the future.MWright96(talk)16:23, 12 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
