I'll be glad to take this review. In the next few days I'll do a close readthrough, noting here any issues I can't immediately fix myself; once those are addressed, we can go through the criteria checklist. Thanks in advance for your work on this one! -- Khazar2 (talk) 22:42, 22 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Initial readthrough

"his home state" -- is this his original home state, or Indiana? Perhaps "new home state" would make this clear?

Good catch. Fixed. – Maky ^« talk » 14:42, 23 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Not an issue for GA either way, so feel free to ignore, but as an American, the dates on this should probably be written in month/day/year per WP:STRONGNAT.

Good point... though I wish my country would convert. Putting the day first makes it so much easier to read and write. – Maky ^« talk » 14:42, 23 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Since both of these concerns border on the trivial, I'm going to go ahead and start the checklist.

Thanks for the review! – Maky ^« talk » 14:42, 23 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

My pleasure. -- Khazar2 (talk) 14:43, 23 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Results?

@Khazar2: I'm kind of confused. Is this a Good Article? It isn't marked as such on the article page. — Brianhe (talk) 00:17, 5 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
