Is this really a stub? How much more is there to say about this doll? Joyous 20:51, Feb 20, 2005 (UTC)

I want to know Skipper's middle name! Could anyone add that to this article?

I don't think her middle name is known, or even if she has one. Tikallover 03:15, 20 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Failed GA

A couple formatting errors caused me to reject this nomination - everything about this article concentrates either on "controversy" or "size". It's nicely researched and cited (use 'accessdate' instead of year and month). Don't link individual years, like 2000. It should explain much more about the purpose of the doll-it seems to brush past things like the arm-makes-boobs function. Also, measurements should use either standard units, or prosified numbers (9 1/4" -> 9.25 inches). ALTON .ıl 01:40, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
