- Ouch! Consider rounding by truncation:
- Round_t( 5 20/24= 5 5/6 ) =5 < 6.

- Hook is 146 characters, short enough, factual and interesting enough. However the article title is only referenced by a primary source, written by one of the members. There is no third party reference to confirm the title was used. Apart from that the article is long enough, adequately referenced and neutral point of view. So what we need is another reference or two to confirm this Gang of Four is notable and that the term was used by others. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 22:42, 16 November 2011 (UTC)
- Hi Graeme! Thanks for the 2nd look.
- Mother Jones ran an article which is visible here. Kiefer.Wolfowitz 23:05, 16 November 2011 (UTC)
- Massing, Michael (October 1987). "Contra aides: Why four Democratic operatives enlisted in Ollie North's crusade". Mother Jones: 23–26, 40–43.
I think you have messed the referencing in the article, take a second look. But at least Reference contains the term. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 01:42, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks for catching my error, which is now corrected. I again forgot to insert "harvtxt" in the harvtxt-template. Kiefer.Wolfowitz 09:25, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
