# Talk:Increase Sumner

To further improve the article, the lead should be expanded so it summarizes the article. The article also needs more sources for verification - more incline citations would improve it. I removed the forced scale for the grave picture, because not specifying ensures the picture will be displayed well for different configurations, and removed the "Biography" section and instead used the subsections as sections because the whole article is the biography.

Hi there! I'll review this article. It certainly looks good. Initial comments will follow soon.Michael! (talk) 11:59, 23 March 2013 (UTC)


### First GA review
As I said, it looks good and I think it's certainly a GA. Here are a few minor remarks you should have a quick look at. However, I still have to check the references before I'll pass it as a GA.Michael! (talk) 12:52, 23 March 2013 (UTC)

I checked many of the notes and references and didn't encounter any serious problems. I'll pass this article as a GA soon.Michael! (talk) 11:31, 24 March 2013 (UTC)


#### Initial comments
"bar": I assume you mean the legal meaning (bar_(law)), not the pub/establishment or any other meaning of bar.
"Commonwealth": I assume you mean Massachusetts: Commonwealth_(U.S._state)#Commonwealth_of_Massachusetts. It might be a good idea to provide a short note, a wikilink, or to rephrase this, since Commonwealth has several meanings, which might be confusing to British people unfamiliar with the history of MA, for instance.
"slavery": is this wikilink relevant? Or could you provide a better, more specific wikilink?
"gubernatorial succession": although I'm not afraid of big words, I seriously doubt if everybody understand this. Could you rephrase it?
"France", "US constitution" and "gov of MA" are wikilinked, but "British authority" and "US president" aren't.
Note [28]: page 44 doesn't seem relevant. Are you sure you cited the correct page number?
Hi!  Thanks for taking the time to review this.  I think I've addressed these issues -- good catch on that last one, it was the wrong page number. Magic♪piano 14:15, 25 March 2013 (UTC)
