  • Article is new enough and long enough and is well supported by footnotes. However, I see issues of close paraphrasing, or worse. For example, the sentence that contains the hook fact (yes, the hook fact is verified) is copied verbatim from the source. It needs a thorough scrub to resolve that. Also, saying that he's a candidate for mayor is a bit too promotional. To resolve that, and make the hook scan a little bit better, I recommend revising the hook to say "that Minnesota politician Mark Andrew owns stands that sell french fries stand and s'mores at the Minnesota State Fair?" --Orlady (talk) 16:45, 6 June 2013 (UTC)
