Review

Rate	Attribute	Review Comment
1. Well-written:
	1a. the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct.	Your prose is really good but I will have to reassess any added content. IntentionallyDense (talk) 13:40, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
	1b. it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation.	The lead looks good, good job! IntentionallyDense (talk) 13:40, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
2. Verifiable with no original research, as shown by a source spot-check:
	2a. it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline.	IntentionallyDense (talk)
	2b. reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose).	Checked all online sources. IntentionallyDense (talk) 13:40, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
	2c. it contains no original research.	IntentionallyDense (talk) 13:40, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
	2d. it contains no copyright violations or plagiarism.	IntentionallyDense (talk) 13:40, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
3. Broad in its coverage:
	3a. it addresses the main aspects of the topic.	See comments below. IntentionallyDense (talk) 13:40, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
	3b. it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style).	IntentionallyDense (talk) 13:40, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
	4. Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.	IntentionallyDense (talk) 13:40, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
	5. Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute.	IntentionallyDense (talk) 13:40, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
6. Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio:
	6a. media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content.	IntentionallyDense (talk) 13:40, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
	6b. media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions.	IntentionallyDense (talk) 13:40, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
	7. Overall assessment.	I'm going to put this on hold until you expand the article a bit. Great job on finding sources, in the future I would suggest listing page numbers as your link for ref 1 didn't work and I had to find the book elsewhere. Your prose is great and very easy to read so I have no complaints there. Keep up the great work and I look forward to seeing what you can do to expand this article!

By looking at sources [1], [2], and [3] I feel like you could have went into a lot more detail. The first two sources go into a lot more detail regarding his military history and life. The third source tells me a lot more about his political beliefs than you did. Specifically, I think it is important you mention his political views in more depth. If you haven't already I would highly suggest you check out Help:How to mine a source to ensure that you are getting the most of of your sources. I'm specifically looking for you to expand the sections Civil war service, Political career, and 1891 Kentucky gubernatorial election. IntentionallyDense (talk) 13:40, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
