Hi! I'll be reviewing this article for GA status, and should have the full review up soon. Dana boomer (talk) 01:46, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
- It is reasonably well written.
- a (prose):
b (MoS):
- In the lead you say that Madison was elected "unanimously". Did every single person who voted really vote for him? I really prefer the wording in the body, where it says he was elected "without opposition".
- a (prose):
- Good call. I changed "unanimous" in the body, but forgot it was also in the lead. Fixed now.
- In the Death and aftermath section, you say that "many" refused to call Slaughter by the title of Governor. Was this "many" the citizens, or other members of the government, or other groups?
- Yes. LOL. Judging from what I've read, it was both citizens and government officials that refused to call Slaughter "governor".
- It is factually accurate and verifiable.
- a (references):
b (citations to reliable sources):
c (OR):
- I added a fact tag in one spot that needs a reference.
- a (references):
- Cited.
- It is broad in its coverage.
- a (major aspects):
b (focused):

- Overall:
- Pass/Fail:
- I've just got a couple of comments on prose and one on referencing, so I am placing the review on hold. These things shouldn't take much time to fix - they're mainly nitpicks. Please let me know if you have any questions. Dana boomer (talk) 02:11, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

- Very nice, and thanks for the prompt response. The article looks great, so I'm passing it to GA status. As for the elimination drive, it's amazing to see how fast the backlog goes down when you have a dozen or so editors really focusing on reviewing! Dana boomer (talk) 03:39, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
