Saddam Hussein[edit]

Just now read this article and found it amazingly NPOV for such a controversial subject. I think the editors have been admirable in presenting a fair, well detailed, well sourced picture of Saddam, without special pleading. I find current objections to the article in the Talk page to be without merit. It has been almost two years since Saddam Hussein was nominated and failed as a Featured article. I think the time has come to recognize the good work of the editors and renominate, bur wanted to vet it with Peer Review beforehand. — J M Rice 10:36, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Needs to be shortened- 75kb is really a lot of bloat. I don't think you'll have any success getting it featured while the trial is still a current event (that section needs to be rewritten too btw). Borisblue 14:14, 22 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not aware of what the norm is for biographies, but I'm worried about referencing. There isn't even a section called references. References (preferably in-line) are especially important with controversial topics. Andjam 11:08, 25 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
