[edit] Book

Didn't he write a book titled Tapped Out?

[edit] Neutrality?

Someone has put up a NPOV tag, but I don't see any reason here. Wooyi 23:49, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Inline citations

This article did not have incline citations, I just added several, but still not enough. Anyone who is familiar with Simon please help! Thanks! Wooyi 21:55, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] GA Failed: Notes for fixes

I have had to fail this article's GA nomination per criteria listed at WP:WIAGA. Please make the following fixes, and renominate for GA when they are done:

  • Criteria 1 (quality of writing): Needs some copyediting. In the lead, for example, there are to many "He was...." sentances. Several sentances seem to beg for expansion, and there probably should be a reorganization to include a section on Personal Life.
  • Criteria 2 (accuracy and referencing): Uneven level of referencing. Some sections, for example, Rise to National Prominence, are VERY inadequately referenced. This section makes many assertions of fact, but only has one inline reference. Several parts of Early Political Years suffer from the same problems. Also, each reference needs full bibliographical information. Consider using citation templates found at WP:CITET to help organize this information.
  • Criteria 3 (broadness): Needs a personal life section.
  • Criteria 4 (NPOV): Looks fine here.
  • Criteria 5 (stability): Again, looks fine
  • Criteria 6 (images): all good!

Once these changes are made, please feel free to renominate it again at WP:GAC. If you feel that this review was not done correctly, please bring the issue up for remediation at WP:GA/R. If you have any further questions, drop a note at my talk page.--Jayron32|talk|contribs 03:24, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
