Another core biography currently with an A-grade. Errabee 08:41, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Oppose: Almost there, but requires more reference citations. One standard form of citation should be used as well. Also might benefit from fewer red links, particularly in the "Works" section. John Carter 22:38, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Oppose Several issues need to be addressed before this article can be considered A-class, in my opinion.

• The "Life" section needs to be expanded and broken down into subsections - this is a biography page.
• The "Legacy" section, while it does provide a lot of good information, needs to be shortened; this page is already 60kb. Pages should exist for all of Hume's major works and forks should be directed there when appropriate.
• The "Perspectives on Hume" section reads like a prose list rather than a coherent section.
• I have a feeling that the page was written using the "References" listed at the bottom, but inline citations must be given throughout the page. Currently, only citations to eighteenth-century sources are given. We need citations to modern scholars as well as to Hume's works.
• The "Works" list should only list Hume's works, not where they are available on the internet.
• In my opinion, the infobox is out of control. Restricting it to major facts rather than vague influences is more helpful. Awadewit 05:46, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Oppose Per above. -Duribald 18:56, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
