PGA Review by Eptalon change
General comments change
- Article way too short (imo)
- One ref for the whole article? - Can we get a few more sources please?
Blurb change
- Way too short.
- He spent some time as Vice-president.
- He was elected pres and VP twice (only one)
Early life change
- was born in his family home in ...: His being born and being raised a Quaker need two different sentences: (One idea per sentence); Also imo his family home being in wherever does not belong in that intro sentence.
- Link Hoover
- He was raised...: Who? - Nixon or Hoover?
- ..and went to... (list of Schools): Sentence of its own. Would you think it worthwhile mentioning his studies (law)?
- He served in the Navy: Link Navy
- Later, he got married: Perhaps mention spouse and date of marriage? - Also: Numbers below 12/20 as words, esp. in flow text.
- Section is way too short, should be about tripled in size.
Early political career change
- When in the House, he was... : Sentence reads awkward, isn't there another way to say this (and avoid starting a sentence with When)?
- He was later elected S. in 1950 after running a controversial campaign and then VP under ...: One idea per sentence: After a controversial campaign he was elected S. for ... in 1950. He became VP in .. and served under president Eisenhower.
+As a vice president he was very busy... : Aren't all VPs? - Find something else to say perhaps
- Again, the whole section could be longer.
Presidency change
- he made peace with China and Communism. This is why many things are made in China: I cannot really follow there, can you perhaps provide a reference for this statement? - Also is this relevant to Nixon?
- Before Nixon, Communist China wasn't allowed: ah.. Could we perhaps get a section on it?
- Watergate crisis needs a link. Also I think it's commonly called scandal, not crisis.
- Link impeachment
- Section needs to at least triple in size
Post-presidency change
- Could we rephrase the title to After the P, perhaps? - I am not really sure post is simple?
Varia change
- The EnWP article has over 200 refs, can we get between ten and twenty, perhaps?
- For this to be a serious candidate, the article should at least triple in size.
All I found at the moment, will review again, if these are fixed, and I am asked nicely. --Eptalon (talk) 21:45, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
Presidency and inflation change
...I feel that inflation is the rise of cost in supply and demand. It appears that when demand is sufficient the cost of the supply will go up. It has bearing on how many dollars are spent, but it does not mean that the dollar has devaluated. Have you ever bought something and realized that it cost more? Perhaps yes perhaps, no. Either way you spent the or another unit to purchase what was needed. Besides when inflation is determined that evaluational effort has no balance of time of the representing of money. Example no money was being spent; example the milk didn't go up. Facts are facts, this has been brought to you by the DeLancey Factor; Have A Nice Day and don't forget to pay those taxes at that yard sale and baby sitting job or what ever concerns the wallet of and towards """A""" production. We are considered as #1 the Government. We hire officials to do .........times up. Please leave out the comment of the Dollar being devaluated. If this is the case the darn thing lost over 40 years ago. 10-4- over and out.D.G.DeL-Dorchester Mass (talk) 00:19, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
