I've listed this article for peer review because… I am thinking of trying to get this (eventually) to FA, but I need to know if this is the best that can be done with the sources available, and what needs doing to the article to get it to a high standard.

Just to clarify: I want this to go to GA first, fix issues, then FA. Mat ty.007 16:47, 30 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Rather nicely written. I have a few suggestions for improvement. The reliance on primary sources in certain sections is conspicuous. I would simply remove the grave and census content if the information was not published elsewhere. The image in the lead is fantastic and really gives a good sense of the subject. Since Howerton performed in the 1920s, you might be able to find more public domain images. I think adding more quality photos would make this article stand out. Finally, I would have liked to have seen more detail about his film roles. DPRoberts534 (talk) 16:42, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

A quick look showed no other sourcing of his mother, but that was a quick look, I shall look more in depth later
I think the census is generally used just to confirm occupations, so I don't think that that information will be anywhere else
I don't know much about pictures, but will seek some help

Thanks for the suggestions, Mat ty.007 19:28, 8 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

One paragraph I was specifically referring to started with "At the time of the 1940 United States Census". DPRoberts534 (talk) 20:28, 8 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I think that that source will likely be OK, as it states what occupation was give for the census. Thanks for the ideas. Mat ty.007 18:54, 9 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
