As Scientology is only one of very many dubious groups who have an opinion on this matter, I suggest it's "contribution" be condensed. Collideascope (talk) 22:23, 2 June 2019 (UTC) Collideascope[reply]

I'm reviewing this article as part of WP:URFA/2020, an effort to ensure that old featured articles continue to meet the criteria. A few concerns: There are several places in need of citations, and additional sources – e.g. this 1980 article and chapter 4 of this 2014 book – may need to be incorporated to satisfy the comprehensiveness criterion. The articles also contains a large number of lengthy quotations, and while that's fine to a point (I'm a pretty liberal quoter myself), I feel it's a bit excessive here, in terms of both style and copyright. Finally, the Scientology section relies heavily on sources associated with Scientology rather than third-party ones, and that gives rise to synthesis/original research concerns. If third-party sources are discussing the Scientology connection, they should be cited, and if they aren't, then the section is likely undue and should be trimmed or removed. Looks like the article needs a bit of a tune-up to continue to meet the FA criteria; if it isn't brought back up to standard, it may be listed at WP:FAR, where editors will consider whether to delist it.

I axed the scientology section but other issues are still outstanding. (t · c) buidhe 05:02, 21 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Dated inflation numbers
• I can't find the actual Act, so unsure if OR is present in the description of it Details section.
• Unattributed opinion
• p or pp for plural?

I stopped after I hit the uncited, unattributed vociferous. The problems mentioned by EW are present in spades. Heading to FAR next. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 16:31, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I don't have the time right now to look over this in detail. A quick glance of the article history indicates that the Scientology angle formed the article's original basis. The article's primary author, possibly also the person responsible for that, appears to have quit the project in frustration in 2010. The 1980 article mentioned by the OP was written by the late Claus-M. Naske. Naske was the second-most-important 20th-century authority on Alaska (surpassed only by Bob DeArmond), so anything written by him should be treated as gold. Appearing in an academic journal only adds to the appeal of the piece as a high-quality source. Also, I have photos of Alaska Psychiatric Institute and the Alaska Mental Health Trust Authority offices if you believe they would enhance readers' understanding of the fruits of the act under statehood.
