   Pass/Fail:

A very well-written article. A few comments before I can pass it for GA:

1. "Though the district that had not elected a Democrat to the House in twenty years, Fields won the election." (Political career) This sentence is somehow incomplete - it doesn't make any sense.
2. "His administration also saw..." (Political career) Administrations don't see things. These needs to be rephrased.
3. All one-two sentence paragraphs must either be expanded or merged with the surrounding paragraphs, as they cannot stand alone. (Later life and death)
4. "He briefly returned to political life as a delegate to the 1952 Democratic National Convention. He died at Grayson, Kentucky on October 21 1954, and was buried in Olive Hill Cemetery at Olive Hill." (Later life and death) requires a citation.

Other than that, a short article, but it seems to cover everything fairly well. It looks like he was in and out of the public eye fairly quickly. Anyhow, I am putting the article on hold for a period of up to seven days so that these concerns may be addressed, after which it may be failed without further notice. Thank you for your work thus far. Cheers, CP 00:52, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

I think I've adequately addressed these issues now. Thanks for your review, and let me know if you find further areas that must be addressed. Acdixon ^{(talk • contribs • count)} 18:25, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I do have one extra thing that needs to be addressed. The section under "Later life and death" that you added (the end of the first paragraph) requires a citation. Cheers, CP 20:32, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

Done. Seems I forgot to include places where I cited the Biographical Directory of the United States Congress. Acdixon ^{(talk • contribs • count)} 20:14, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Looks good to me, so I'll be passing it for Good Article status. Congratulations, and thank you for your hard work! Cheers, CP 00:11, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
