Hey, I'll be reviewing this article for possible GA status. Cheers, Nikkimaria (talk) 20:58, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

Writing and formatting

• According to this tool, there are a number of dab links and one double redirect that should be fixed
• Contractions should not be used outside of quotes
• As a bio, the article should conform to WP:PERSONDATA

  Did this one. Wizardman 17:11, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

• Should avoid wikilinking the same term more than once
• Some problems with missing/misplaced hyphens
• "Novak's wrote" -> "Novak wrote"
• The article could use a general copy edit for clarity and flow
• "Amnesty, Abortion and Acid" -> "Amnesty, abortion and acid"
• Since Valerie Plame is linked in the article text, it shouldn't be linked in See also; same with Evans

Accuracy and verifiability

• "He had also had what he called a "chilling" conversation with a Syracuse University student whom he thought had channeled the Holy Spirit." - source?
• "During 2005, there were questions in the press regarding the apparent absence of focus on Novak by the special prosecutor Fitzgerald and the grand jury, specifically questions suggesting he may have already testified about his sources despite insisting publicly that he would not do so." - source?
• All web references need access dates (and author/publisher where available)
• Refs 8, 21, 49, 52, 56, 58 are broken
