Good Article nomination

[edit]

Overall the article looks quite good and is well referenced. However, before passing it I think a few things should be addressed:

  1. Papers controversy should be better integrated into the rest of the article and updated to reflect any developments in the last 16 months.
  2. Quotes section should be merged into the rest of the article or at least trimmed. Wikiquote is down the hall.

Quotes

[edit]

I agree that the quote section should be axed. The selections of them also have a hint of POV to them. Look for a middle ground that best reflects the man. I never heard much about him but going with the picture the article paints, the quotes that I would keep and find a way to fit into the article would be "I'm not a hawk or a dove. I just don't want my country to be a pigeon." (Probably best in Influence on neoconservatism) and "If you believe in the cause of freedom, then proclaim it, live it and protect it, for humanity's future depends on it." (It would depend on the context of the quote, if it was during a campaign I would put it there. Otherwise it might fit in the neocon section) 205.157.110.11 12:18, 31 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This may seem absurd in light of my comment down below but I would interject that any of the quotes you keep should be referenced. Most of them already are but the ones that the anon user mentioned are not. Agne 16:50, 31 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I created a page on Wikiquote and moved the whole quotes section there as per WP:LONGQUOTE - "Do not insert any number of quotations in a stand-alone quote section.".-Ich (talk) 17:40, 22 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

GA nomination failed

[edit]

As per my post above, I am failing the GA nomination since the concerns I identified have not been addressed in the past week. I would encourage a renom after some clean-up. Overall it is quite good but just not up to GA standards yet. Eluchil404 19:28, 7 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

1972 presidential campaign

[edit]

Sorry, this was my first edit; I'm a little clumsy, and didn't comment the edit. I took out the characterization "most emotionally charged and tainted [nomination] in US political history", in light of objective historical evidence to the contrary, e.g. United States presidential election, 1912. I also removed "also" from the reference to Schachtman's support; otherwise, one might infer that McGovern's accusation of racism was an expression of support for Jackson.MrTetragon (talk) 18:36, 23 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
