- You need a space between the two dates and the dash (have 2002 - 2005 rather than 2002-2005)
- according to WP:DASHthat is not the majority opinion. Switched to –

Jayron32's Review
Honestly, had I reviewed this for GAC, I would have easily passed it. I see nothing to give me pause as a good article. It meets
WP:WIAGA
criteria well. That having been said, it is far from perfect:
- There are too many stubby, one-sentance sections. Consider expansion or collapsing. The Later ventures section suffers from this quite a bit. Done bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 16:58, 5 June 2007 (UTC)]
- The Hyde Park section is jumpy and choppy in places, for example, the paragraph beginning "He planned and advocated a..." seems out of place. Doesn't this information belong more towards the start of the section? There are other issues with flow here that make this section less than briliant on the FA scale.
- The Family section needs some cleanup. Also, why is this not part of the background section. Done bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 16:58, 5 June 2007 (UTC)]
- The memorials section seems a bit incomplete. You have a picture of one that isn't even listed.
- As a whole, the article could stand for a better organization scheme, such as maybe: Done bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 16:58, 5 June 2007 (UTC)]
- Personal life
- Early life and ancestry
- Marriage and family
- Professional life
- Lawyer
- Founder of Hyde Park
- Civic leadership
- Other ventures
- Memorials
- Personal life
- Just some general ideas to improve the article. As I said, I most likely, had I reviewed this, would have passed it as a GA. Still has lots of room for improvement though. --Jayron32|talk|contribs 04:52, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for taking another look. I think in general I am suffering from lack of info. With the latest changes I will take another shot at
