Hi! I'll be reviewing this article for GA status, and should have the full review up soon. Dana boomer (talk) 02:27, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
- It is reasonably well written.
- a (prose):
b (MoS):
- I'd like to see the lead a bit longer. Perhaps another paragraph of about the same length as you have now?
- In the "Senator" section, you first say "He is the Ranking Minority Member of the Senate Environmental Conservation Committee.", then say "He served for a month as the Acting Ranking Minority Member of the Senate Environmental Conservation Committee, prior to the election of Sen. Craig Johnson of Long Island." This seems to be contradictory - he is the ranking member but was ousted as the acting ranking member?
- He served as acting in Jan-Feb 2007. Johnson served a while and since October 2007 he has served. I can not find any sources to back this information up however so I can not beef up the articel with any WP:RSs.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 07:20, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
- a (prose):
- It is factually accurate and verifiable.
- a (references): b (citations to reliable sources):
c (OR):
- All of your newsbank refs have changed their main domain from docs.newsbank.com to infoweb.newsbank.com. While they have not gone dead yet, it would probably be a good idea to change them over in case the website ever shuts down the old links.
- The links are suppose to be permalinks for this service. I have about 500 articles that are going to fall apart if they allow their permalinks to die. I will have to trust them.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 06:32, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
- Ref #1 (2007-2008 Legislative Session) deadlinks.
- Please make sure that all web refs have publishers. Ref 1 (which is dead anyway) and 2 do not.
- I added a fact tag in one spot where I'd like to see a ref.
- fixed.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 06:49, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

- No edit wars etc.:

- a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales):
- Overall:
- Pass/Fail:
- There are a few issues with references and prose/MOS that I would like to see fixed before I pass this article to GA status. However, they are minor, and overall this is a very nice article. Please let me know if you have any questions. Dana boomer (talk) 02:49, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
- Everything looks good, so I'm going to pass the article. I hope for your sake that the newsbank links are permalinks...500 articles down the drain would be heartbreaking :( Nice work on this article, though! Dana boomer (talk) 14:11, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
