Talk:Midge (Barbie)

message: I have passed this article as a Good Article. Some of the prose in the article could be improved to be slightly clearer and more interesting, but none of it was gramatically incorrect and I understood everything. Also, some of the references to collectability seem like they could be written to be based less on the collector's perspective. Perhaps instead of 'highly sought after by collectors', something like, 'is very rare'. Although, I think this is probably a preference issue. Good Job on the article.-Dekkanar 15:57, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Pass Good Article

message: As part of the WikiProject Good Articles, we're doing sweeps to go over all of the current GAs and see if they still meet the GA criteria. I'm specifically going over all of the "Culture and Society" articles. I believe the article currently meets the criteria and should remain listed as a Good article. I have made several minor corrections throughout the article. Altogether the article is well-written and is still in great shape after its passing in 2007. Continue to improve the article making sure all new information is properly sourced and neutral. It would also be beneficial to go through the article and update all of the access dates of the inline citations and fix any dead links. If you have any questions, let me know on my talk page and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. I have updated the article history to reflect this review. Happy editing! --Nehrams2020 (talk) 08:52, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: GA Sweeps Review: Pass

message: There's a distinct lack of information on the 'Pregnant Midge' controversy. The main reason people end up on this page is because they're looking for info on Midge's history, and the controversy with the supposedly un-married "pregnant" doll (she had no wedding ring), the removal of the toy from a particularly large and powerful store's shelves, and Mattel's reaction to that particular store by re-designing the toy and then "marrying" Midge to Allan are a big part of Barbie lore and Mattel history. There appears to be an entire section of Midge's history missing between the "Vintage" section, and the "Happy Family" section that someone needs to either write or restore. This was covered by the mainstream press and should be easily referenced. I haven't looked at past edits, but I could swear this looks like someone edited all that out of this article by the look of what's left.  HardwareLust (talk) 21:26, 18 July 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Lacks significant information

message: Is there a tool we can generate to get an easy guide to this? I noticed a couple things:
*2005 special:diff/30782094 from Midge (toy doll) to Midge (Barbie doll)
*2010 special:diff/341283054 from Midge Hadley to Midge (Barbie)
So at some point in between, someone moved it from (Barbie Doll) to Hadley but not sure who or when. I would like to ask whoever did that what evidence existed for the 'Hadley' surname. I do not see any cited quotes using this name. Ranze (talk) 20:22, 1 December 2016 (UTC)
