Well-written, new, neutral article. Sources check out; AGF on a couple of sources I can't access. Hook is amusing and sourced and in the article. Earwig check is fine (mainly flags quotes). A couple of really minor comments that don't need to hold this one up: firstly, is it possible to confirm which of the IU schools of law he attended? The disambiguation link in the early life and education section is a bit distracting. Secondly, should the award be in the 'career' section rather than 'personal life' since it seems directly related to his career? In any event, the article is good to go.

- The list that appears at List of recipients of the Sagamore of the Wabash Award is not incorrect, it's just not comprehensive. You are free to add Salin to it, however. Chetsford (talk) 09:26, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
