Hello, I will be reviewing this article. It is the longest article I've reviewed so bear with me. Steelkamp (talk) 13:38, 12 August 2022 (UTC)

@Mycranthebigman: Would you like it if I pause this review whilst you make some additions? You seem to be in the process of adding quite a bit of information. Steelkamp (talk) 05:04, 13 August 2022 (UTC)

I'm terribly sorry, but if you could pause and resume on the 15th, that'd be great. Extremely sorry about the disruption so early on, wishing you well, thank you ^_^ Mycranthebigman of Alaska ^_^ 05:18, 13 August 2022 (UTC)

Ok. Steelkamp (talk) 05:25, 13 August 2022 (UTC)

I'm going to start the review now. Steelkamp (talk) 04:32, 28 August 2022 (UTC)

Good article criteria

Well written

• Without good reason, you shouldn't have more than four paragraphs in the lead. Steelkamp (talk) 05:06, 28 August 2022 (UTC)
• He was previously Solicitor of the Department of the Interior from September 1960 to January 1961. This doesn't need to be its own paragraph. Steelkamp (talk) 05:06, 28 August 2022 (UTC)
• The special counsel report shouldn't be an external link within the actual article text. Use referencing. Steelkamp (talk) 05:06, 28 August 2022 (UTC)
• Ampersands should not be used in prose unless they are part of a proper noun. I've fixed this myself, hopefully I didn't do this to any proper nouns. Steelkamp (talk) 05:06, 28 August 2022 (UTC)

Verifiable with no original research

• There are a bunch of paragraphs with no citations and citation needed templates. Steelkamp (talk) 05:06, 28 August 2022 (UTC)
• Rootsweb.com doesn't seem reliable. Steelkamp (talk) 05:06, 28 August 2022 (UTC)
• This isn't required for GA, but citations with titles in all capitals should be converted to lowercase, as per MOS:ALLCAPS. Steelkamp (talk) 05:06, 28 August 2022 (UTC)

Illustrated, if possible

• Particularly though the middle of the article, there are too many images, and that results in the images sandwiching the paragraphs. Steelkamp (talk) 05:06, 28 August 2022 (UTC)
• You may want to use the |upright parameter for the portrait images. That turns them into a better size. Steelkamp (talk) 05:06, 28 August 2022 (UTC)

  alright! Mycranthebigman of Alaska ^_^ 12:31, 5 September 2022 (UTC)

General

A month later and there are still many paragraphs without any citations and the prose issues are still there. The article is not at the GA standard right now and it seems it will take a while for it to get there, so I am going to fail this review. Feel free to renominate the article when it has been improved. Steelkamp (talk) 08:26, 28 September 2022 (UTC)

Alright. Thank you for your time! I will renominate this article in the future once I finish my work on it. God bless! Mycranthebigman of Alaska ^_^ 15:03, 28 September 2022 (UTC)
