Initial Thoughts
edit- WOW! That's short...
- Where is a biography section? The date and place of his birth?
- Could use a ce
- Good citations
- Needs more detail on house and senate time

Overall
editOK- The necessary changes are:
- Better grammar and spelling
- MORE! MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE!
- Basic information
Good things to add (not required by any means are):
- Images
A reminder- once more is put into the article, the intro should also be expanded.
In all honesty, I think this is one of those articles that simply does not have the potential to become a GA. I don't want to be pessimistic and I certainly came in hopeful. A lot of work needs to be done. I'll be back on June 26th to check in again, if not sooner. PrairieKid (talk) 21:33, 19 June 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks for the review! I apologize for not responding in a timely fashion, since I've been busy over the past week. I'll try to address your concerns shortly, but I understand if you must fail the nomination to meet your timeline. Edge3 (talk) 03:51, 25 June 2013 (UTC)
- Don't worry. You're fine. I was beginning to get worried. I will give you a few extra days to meet the deadline. Thanks! PrairieKid (talk) 16:06, 25 June 2013 (UTC)
Unfortunately I cannot find additional sources to expand the article. However, I can continue to copyedit my text. Would that be sufficient? Edge3 (talk) 03:53, 27 June 2013 (UTC)
- I can't pass the article as is, even with the ce. I'm sorry. Some articles simply can not become GAs. I am going to have to fail this article. PrairieKid (talk) 18:31, 27 June 2013 (UTC)
