Length fine, article meets date criteria (created September 7). The hook seems interesting, and its length of 157 is within limits.

All paragraphs are referenced. There are no online sources, which is fine so long as the creators can confirm that had access to the full content of the cited books rather than using Google snippets.

The article needs some copyediting to improve some odd sentence structure, and to fix a few grammatical errors such as "began on in Prescott, Arizona", "protested the new requirement a suggested", "Water was an important to the Governor". --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 10:46, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

Copyedit performed. As for requested information about access to the cited dead tree sources, I own personal copies of the books in question (used bookstore acquisitions) but am not sure how I am supposed to "confirm" this fact. --Allen3 ^talk 12:11, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

If you say you own the books, that's all the confirmation I need. I AGF that you mean what you say!

The copyediting has improved the article. I think that the sentence structure could still be improved in several places, but that's not a reason to reject the article. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 12:21, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

. AGF on offline sources, all else OK. Good to go. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 12:21, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
