Overall this article is good, though I have a couple issues:

• Anything on why he used his mother's last name? Not very common when both parents are there raising the child.

• Actually, it's his father's last name. His parents were Waller Harrison Nunn and Mary Roberts Nunn. I've put Mary's maiden name in parentheses to denote this a little better. I've used the notation in this article in many other articles without causing confusion, but if you think it needs further clarification, let me know.

• That's fine. For some reason I misread that as "Waller Harrison" was his dad and "Mary Roberts Nunn" was his mom. Thought Harrison was the last name instead of the middle. Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear}

• Same image issue as with the other one; no tag.

• Fixed.

• "Following his military duty, Nunn pursued a pre-law curriculum at the University of Cincinnati." I think degree rather than curriculum would be better word choice.

• Done.

• Can the city Glasgow be linked? When I hear it I think of Scotland, though this is obviously in Kentucky.

• Sure. Just an oversight on my part.

• (side comment, not a GA issue) I found it odd that the governor and lieutenant governor were elected separately. How recent has it been that the two were combined on one ticket?

• hehe. We Kentuckians and our affinity for our outdated constitution. Kentucky has had four constitutions and all of them called for separate election of the governor and lieutenant governor. The last constitution was ratified in 1894. It was not until 1992, during the administration of Brereton Jones that the constitution was amended to allow the governor and lieutenant governor to run as a ticket.

• "After being reconciled to his son, Nunn he supported his gubernatorial campaign in 2003, but the younger Nunn ultimately ran third in a four-way primary." As written, the sentence is confusing, feels like it's missing words and I can't tell who's who on the first Nunn.

• Yeah, after re-reading this, it is kinda confusing. I've broken it into two sentences and re-worded. See if that helps.

I'll put the article on hold and pass when the issues are fixed. Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 00:04, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for another review. I assume you're racking up credits for the GA elimination drive, and your reviews will help me survive in the second round of the WikiCup. Acdixon ^{(talk • contribs • count)} 13:10, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

Mhm, I'm trying to help get the backlog cleared. At least the articles are interesting, that helps :) Anyway, looks good now, so the article passes. Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 15:57, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
