I'd like some feedback on how the article is written. The issue has started to get a little bit of renewed attention because of Barack Obama's presidential campaign. That will probably increase as primary season nears.
RFF feedback was that it might be a GA candidate if pictures and external links are added. And that's fine, and I'll be happy to listen to those critiques also. But the truth is that I'm not all tht concerned with official GA or FA "status". Images are a pain to figure out coypright-wise and the "external links" that seem obvious to me at the moment are cited already as sources. Granted, I'm sure there are plenty that are just not occurring to me right now, but the point is that I'm really more concerned with feedback on how well (or poorly) the article is written than anything else. Hopefully, I can learn some things through this review that will improve my writing skills. I'm a computer geek by trade, so my chances to practice are sometimes limited. Once I'm satisfied with the article in that arena, perhaps at that time I'll find myself more interested in GA and FA and that sort of thing.

- Interesting article. What is a "comfortable lead?" It might also be helpful if you had a chart showing how much the vote changes. -- thedemonhog talk contributions 21:26, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
- Thank you very much. I've now cited specific numbers in place of "comfortable". I do like the chart idea. I'll look into that when I get a little time, and see if can find an FA or two that present similar charts in an aesthetically pleasing fashion. Thanks again! Mwelch 21:54, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
