Infobox image[edit]
The infobox image was changed to show Mckenna Grace with a huge grin. File:Mckenna grace 2023 3.jpg While this isn't a bad image I think an image with a huge grin is not the best choice for an encyclopedia article. There is another image from the same time that show Grace more clearly and with only a slight smile File:Mckenna grace 2023 1.jpg which I believe would be a more appropriate image for an encyclopedia as it shows her face more clearly allowing readers to more easily identify her (a huge open mouth grin would not be acceptable on a passport photo, and a more subtle expression seems more appropriate for an encyclopedia). Another editor rejected this image and reverted[1] claiming the image quality is insufficient (seems fine to me, maybe marginally less sharp perhaps) and that the eyeline directs readers to the right off the page (again clarity seems more important to me than an image where Grace is looking straight at the camera).
TLDR: I would urge editor to consider a different Infobox image showing the person with a more neutral expression. -- 109.255.172.191 (talk) 16:47, 19 July 2023 (UTC)

2a. it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline. | Refs are placed in a proper "References" section. | |
2b. reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose). | Most sources are to entertainment websites or magazines, and some are to review sites (e.g. Rotten Tomatoes) and music streaming services (Apple Music). All reliable in their usage. | |
2c. it contains no original research. | Spotchecking the following, chosen at random:
All come up clear, no OR visible. | |
2d. it contains no copyright violations or plagiarism. | Earwig shows no violations. High scores on some sources are due to names and quotes. | |

5. Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute. | There have been a number of revisions in the last month that were reverted due to lack of sources, which is justified but I felt was worth noting. The reversions went unchallenged- no edit warring present. | |
6. Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio: | ||
6a. media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content. | Images are properly CC tagged. | |
6b. media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions. | Grace cites American singers Lana Del Rey and Taylor Swift (right) as her main influences.- (left) needs to be placed after Lana Del Ray, otherwise it's inconsistent.
Images are relevant and properly captioned. | |
7. Overall assessment. |

Overall: All is clear. Article was promoted to Good Article status on August 6, 2023. IMO the original hook is interesting. RV (talk) 17:26, 6 August 2023 (UTC)
- @RAJIVVASUDEV: (that's impossible to spell) I just remembered that I have another Grace-related nomination at Template:Did you know nominations/List of Mckenna Grace performances. I've suggested a multi-article hook over there, though I don't think ALT0 or 1 would work. Not really sure on the procedure about multi-article hooks 'cuz I've never done one though. Pamzeis (talk) 08:39, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
- The suggested hook is clearly present in the article and complies with the requirement. What is causing concern? I don't see any issues here regarding this article and ALTo. Thanks RV (talk) 09:26, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
- So basically, I forgot that I had an open nomination for List of Mckenna Grace performances, which is related topic (if you couldn't tell already lol). I wanted to do a multi-article nomination/hook and since that nom has been open longer I dropped it over there. The list article doesn't mention the human quote or her acting teacher, so I don't think they can be used. The new multi-article hook has been approved at Template:Did you know nominations/List of Mckenna Grace performances now, so I guess I should withdraw this one, and we can continue any further discussion over there.

- Interesting hook. The article has a good introductory paragraph before going into the list which is properly referenced. I suggest to use ALT2 as the hook, as I believe that it can attract Wikipedia readers and users who are fans of the characters played by Grace which are mentioned in it. Toadboy123 (talk) 05:52, 14 July 2023 (UTC)
- @Toadboy123: I just thought of an idea for a hook; IDK if it would work and it's exactly at 200 characters, but...
- ALT3: ... that Mckenna Grace has portrayed younger versions of Captain Marvel, Emma Swan, Daphne Blake, Tonya Harding, Sabrina Spellman, Caroline Forbes, Madison Lake, Theo Crain, and Abby Fisher?
- I think it kinda gets the reader to think, "wow, that's a lot"... y'know? I ordered them by which are most well-known by the GP (I think). Pamzeis (talk) 13:09, 16 July 2023 (UTC)
- @Pamzeis: I would suggest it would be good idea if you just go with ALT2. ALT3 makes the hook too cluttered but if you would want to proceed with ALT3, then remove characters which do not have a linked article in order to reduce cluttering of the hook.Toadboy123 (talk) 15:52, 16 July 2023 (UTC)
- @Toadboy123: Mckenna Grace recently got promoted to GA-status, so I was wondering whether we could do multi-article hook. I believe ALT0, 1 and 3 wouldn't work in this case, but for ALT2:

Hey, Pamzeis, good work on the article. There isn't much I had to tweak. A few questions:
Formatting and wikilink in original. Any particular reason why the film isn't being referred to by its actual name? —Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 19:28, 7 August 2023 (UTC)In 2022, Grace wrote, executive produced, and starred in a sequel to The Bad Seed [...]
Going to assume that she doesn't do this anymore? —Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 19:28, 7 August 2023 (UTC)She trained in cheer, gymnastics, tap, and ballet—as well as participating in beauty pageants, where she was crowned "Tiny Miss Texas".
Looking forward to your responses. —Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 19:28, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
- @Tenryuu: Responded to your questions. Lemme know if anything else needs to be clarified. Pamzeis (talk) 06:17, 8 August 2023 (UTC)
- @Pamzeis: I think that's everything. Just wanted to point out that I removed
because it seemed irrelevant to who Grace is. Best of luck with the nomination! —Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 00:12, 9 August 2023 (UTC)The film tells the story of Mary Adler (Grace), an intellectually gifted seven-year-old who becomes the subject of a custody battle between her maternal uncle and maternal grandmother.

Strange order[edit]
The article includes She took a college course on media aesthetics in 2021, in which she wrote about The Handmaid's Tale approximately four times
in the "Early life section" Outside of this not being in her "early life" (there's a few other sentences there which also don't appear to be appropriate for this section title), this also does not adequately introduce what "The Handmaid's Tale (TV show)" is. This is only done much later in the article, when it states: In 2021, Grace began recurring on the Hulu dystopian series The Handmaid's Tale, an adaptation of the 1985 novel of the same name
:3 F4U (they/it) 14:31, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
- It's difficult to get everything in perfect chronological order, but there are other ways to organize. The section discusses her education, so the info about a college course fits. Educational details should not be in the Career section. I don't see a need to explain The Handmaid's Tale any further in that section. There is a link if anyone wishes to get more details. Much more detail appears later in the article about her acting career. Sundayclose (talk) 14:49, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
- @Freedom4U and Sundayclose: The article is currently a featured article candidate, here - Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Mckenna Grace/archive1 I would encourage you both to make any comments which may improve the article there. Gog the Mild (talk) 18:04, 8 September 2023 (UTC)
Infobox image[edit]
Just saying... that the current infobox image is horrible and does her no good. Might do well to change it. 103.177.232.33 (talk) 19:21, 3 October 2023 (UTC)
- Hiya. Do you have any specific concerns about the image? 'Cuz ATM, it just seems to be a case of WP:JUSTDONTLIKEIT. Pamzeis (talk) 00:57, 4 October 2023 (UTC)
I complained above about the previous image, and just wanted to note that ip103 is a different person, I don't know what their specific complaints might be. The current image is a marginal improvement over the previous image (from the same photoshoot) where McKenna was smiling so hard she it was almost wikt:gurning. As this is supposed to be an encyclopedia I still would prefer a more serious and formal image but from the available images on Wikimedia Commons this one is adequate. I still think the non-smiling image would be better. -- 109.77.197.70 (talk) 20:32, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
