Poet Laureate of New Jersey

  • Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Louis Braille
  • Comment: promoted to GA status on 20 February 2014. Word/character count: (with pictured) 193 characters with spaces, 28 words; without pictured: 182 characters with spaces and 27 words. Hook supported by footnotes 17 and 18.

Improved to Good Article status by ColonelHenry (talk). Self nominated at 18:30, 22 February 2014 (UTC).

  • Symbol question.svg Article is new enough (recent GA), long enough, and well referenced. Hook is verified except that the loaded word "controversial" is not used by quoted sources to describe him. I think it should be changed to "provocative" which is the exact word used by LA Times. QPQ is verified and the image is free. -Zanhe (talk) 09:19, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
  • Fixed: Changed the adjective as suggested, "provocative" works better (other sources used in the article used "controversial") and doesn't seem as POV. Hope that works for you.--ColonelHenry (talk) 15:25, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
  • Symbol confirmed.svg Thanks. Good to go. -Zanhe (talk) 20:28, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
