- It is reasonably well written.
- a (prose):
b (MoS):
- The prose isn't the best, but it seems relatively good. I'll say "aye" to 1a, but I strongly encourage that this go through Peer Review. NW (Talk) (How am I doing?) 01:55, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
- a (prose):
- It is factually accurate and verifiable.
- a (references):
b (citations to reliable sources):
c (OR):
- Could you please check out the deadlinks in this Checklinks report. NW (Talk) (How am I doing?) 01:27, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
- Didn't know that existed. I'll get on that later tonight. upstateNYer 02:02, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
Done Not sure what the last blue link is on that page, but the link does work. Otherwise, should be all set. upstateNYer 04:56, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
- Can you get a better citation for "Michael S. Pollok, an attorney from Red Hook, announced his candidacy as an independent,[30] but subsequently withdrew.[31]" 31 should be replaced if possible; right now, there is nothing on that website but a redirect. NW (Talk) (How am I doing?) 14:30, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
- I removed it. The source saying he had considered was completely speculation. I saw 2 faces on the page that definitely did not put their names in the race. Seems he may have done it as a media stunt to get more traffic to his law firm's website. upstateNYer 15:56, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

- a (references):
- It is broad in its coverage.
- a (major aspects):
b (focused):
- The "Candidates" section needs more expansion on why "the party nominees were chosen by a weighted vote among the county committees".
- Perhaps I missed it, but a read of this tells me nothing about why the special election was called for in the first place. NW (Talk) (How am I doing?) 01:55, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
- Will update and source that later tonight. upstateNYer 02:02, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

- Fair representation without bias:

- No edit wars etc.:
- No edit wars etc.:
- It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
- a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales):
b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
- I'm unsure if File:James Tedisco.jpg actually needs to be in the article; it doesn't look like it adds much to it. NW (Talk) (How am I doing?) 19:09, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
- Just messaged the Flickr user to see if they'll freely license this image. I doubt it, but worth a shot. upstateNYer 20:04, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
