There are suggestions below for improving the article to meet the good article criteria. Once these issues have been addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake.

Sentence reads: "He is best known among scientists for his work on the etiology of sexual orientation, from which he concluded that homosexuality is substantially inherited". I think that's a misnomer. Bailey has consistently maintained that male sexual orientation (gay or straight) is very likely "inborn" or "innate", but he doesn't say it's "substantially inherited". I also think it's fair to say he's barely focused on women so really it should say male homosexuality. If anyone else has any comments let me know. Otherwise I might attempt a rewrite if there are no objections? Sxologist (talk) 06:33, 18 July 2020 (UTC)
P.S. someone might like to add an auto archive on this page it's very long and has a few quibbles from a decade ago. Unless it's not going to be changed frequently enough for those to be archived. IDK what the standards are, but my OCD is tingling. Sxologist (talk) 06:35, 18 July 2020 (UTC)
It's fine with me. As far as archiving goes, one can probably copy the archive bot template from another talk page, adjusting it if needed for the page name and to go to "Archive 1". Crossroads-talk- 20:04, 18 July 2020 (UTC)
