Things to fix right away

• There are five wikilinks to disambiguation pages in this article. Click on the disambiguation link in the toolbox on the right to see what they are and fix them.  Fixed Cmguy777 (talk) 16:52, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
• The article has a nice prose style until the end, with what amounts to a trivia section about Fish's relatives. The important information there needs to be converted into prose and get rid of the bullets. Cut out the non-essential trivia and only leave information about relatives directly related to this article.  Fixed Cmguy777 (talk) 18:03, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

---

Quite a good article overall. Just two issues need to be fixed to pass GA review: lead expansion and alt-text for the images.

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

   The only major issue is the lead. It's quite small for the size of the article and doesn't touch on every major section. Make sure that there is at least a sentence for every section. The largest section, about Fish's service as Secretary of State, probably deserves more coverage in the lead than the other sections.

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

   No issues that I see.

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

   Seems comprehensive, though I'm not an expert on the subject. However, as a general reader, I didn't finish the article with any major questions.

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

   No problems here.

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

   Stable.

6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

   All images need alt-text.

7. Overall: Good job with the improvements. Article passes GA review.

   Pass/Fail:

OK. Thanks for the article review. I am working on fixing the above pertinent issues. Cmguy777 (talk) 16:39, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for fixing those things above. I'll finish the review today or tomorrow. AstroCog (talk) 16:57, 22 November 2011 (UTC)

I added to the lead section. Cmguy777 (talk) 05:02, 24 November 2011 (UTC)

I added alt text(s) to the photos. Cmguy777 (talk) 18:10, 25 November 2011 (UTC)

Excellent. AstroCog (talk) 03:26, 26 November 2011 (UTC)
