This is a very good start, but there are a few issues. The main issue is a number of "unfinished stories", where very briefly detailing the way they were resolved would allow the reader to move on.

• Section: "Native Americans". It would be worth mentioning this issue was finally and permanently resolved with the Indian Citizenship Act of 1924.

•  Done -- Khazar2 (talk) 11:49, 18 July 2013 (UTC)

• "Children born to citizens of other countries" - I believe that a child born in the United States is generally considered a United States citizen under current practice. Mentioning this would clarify.

•  Done -- Khazar2 (talk) 11:55, 18 July 2013 (UTC)

• "Power of enforcement" - this section is just unclear, and very difficult to understand. It could use a major copyedit.

• I've made some tweaks that may help. Let me know what you think. -- Khazar2 (talk) 11:57, 18 July 2013 (UTC)

A good start, as I say. Fix those few things, and we're probably ready for GA. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 22:28, 17 July 2013 (UTC)

Thanks, Adam, both for the suggestions and for taking this on in the first place. I'm on semiwikibreak this week and avoiding in-depth editing, but I should be able to get to this sometime this weekend. -- Khazar2 (talk) 00:12, 18 July 2013 (UTC)

If you're doing Thirteenth as well, I'll probably get to that one sometime this week too, by the way. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 00:37, 18 July 2013 (UTC)

Oh, that'd be terrific. User:Groupuscule is the lead editor there but I've had a hand in it as well. -- Khazar2 (talk) 00:45, 18 July 2013 (UTC)

I've made a couple of small tweaks, and think it's now ready for GA. ✓ Pass. I do hope you intend to take this to FA; I'd suggest a peer review first for a few more eyes (I am, after all, not a lawyer), but I think this is a magnificent article, at the least very nearly ready for FA.

Thanks so much! This one's really been a team effort. -- Khazar2 (talk) 11:39, 19 July 2013 (UTC)
