[edit] William H. Seward

This article should be chosen because it is easy to read, has enough citations and references, has decent images, and is well written. 11kowrom 17:41, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

  • Object. The lead section is inadequate, and several of the sections are short, only one or two sentences in length. RyanGerbil10 17:48, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Object Lead section needs to be expanded to properly summarize the topic. No Inline citations Deyyaz [ Talk | Contribs ] 19:45, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Object, it is a start, but some more work needs to be done:
  • Please expand the lead to conform with guidelines at WP:LEAD. The article should have an appropriate number of paragraphs as is shown on WP:LEAD, and should adequately summarize the article.
  • This article needs footnotes, preferably in the cite.php format recommended by WP:WIAFA. Simply, enclose inline citations, with WP:CITE or WP:CITE/ES information, with <ref>THE FOOTNOTE</ref>. At the bottom of the article, in a section named “References” or “Footnotes”, add <div class="references-small"><references/></div>.
  • This article is a bit too short, and therefore may not be as comprehensive as WP:WIAFA critera 2(b) is looking for. Please see if anything can be expanded upon.
  • Please reorder/rename the last few sections to follow guidelines at WP:GTL.
  • Thanks, AndyZ t 14:30, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
