Wondering what this needs to get it in line with FAC for possible FA nom... Thanks! plange 21:22, 19 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Just a few thing come to mind. First it should say in the introduciton how long he was in the senate. I don't like the {{Quotation}} I think it looks wierd; I am sure that there are better alternatives. The "notes" and "references" sections needs to be combined: rename "notes" to references and expand the first use of the reference to what you have in "references". Last, looking that the references, the article seems to relie a lot on his own autobiography. If possible other source should be found to colaborate what he said, (or better yet contradict what he said and add a section on how his autobiography is inaccurate).

Actually the separate notes and references sections is a style that many prefer. It allows listing references that verify the entire article or large portions of it in the references section and footnotes in the notes section. Specific advice, it probable needs a longer lead section, see WP:LEAD. - Taxman ^Talk 16:38, 21 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
