- It is reasonably well written.
- a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
Why is "portfolio" capitalized?- "Minister without Portfolio is a quasi-formal title, signifying a government minister appointed to the Cabinet under the Westminster system but not given a specific platform or department. Ironholds (talk) 10:00, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
- Good to know

Why is ""fiscal reforms"" in quotes?- No real justification; now removed.Ironholds (talk) 10:00, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
"Tim Hector, the leader of the opposition and editor of a major Antiguan newspaper calling for Joseph's dismissal, and further insisting that the car was actually for Joseph himself.[7]" - incomplete sentenceWhat exactly are the "backbenches"? Link maybe or explain- Linked. Ironholds (talk) 10:00, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
Anything about his personal life?- Not to my knowledge; East Caribbean politicians are quite hard to source, unfortunately :(. Ironholds (talk) 10:00, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
- Ok

Also: Dab Solicitor-General- There is no Dab, unless you can see an article for Solicitor-General of Antigua and Barbuda there. Ironholds (talk) 10:44, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
- What I meant is that it leads to a dab (dablink), so either remove the link or create the article
- Gotcha; done :). Ironholds (talk) 20:07, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

- a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
I think the capitalisation is distracting- What capitalisation? Ironholds (talk) 10:00, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
For example "ANTIGUA/BARBUDA-POLITICS: GOVERNMENT FIGHTING CORRUPTION CHARGES" or "CARIBBEAN: ANTIGUA'S NEW CABINET IS SWORN IN". I would change to normal typeface per WP:SHOUTING- Aha, got it. Fixed :). Ironholds (talk) 20:07, 16 June 2012 (UTC)
- What capitalisation? Ironholds (talk) 10:00, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
Either mdy or dmy date format, not both- Where am I using mdy? Ironholds (talk) 10:00, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
- I changed to dmy per your comment below.

I don't see any changes? You may have forgotten to save your edits. Now I am not sure why you point me to this discussion... Also if you look more carefully at the references, you will clearly see the capitalisation and the inconsistent date formats...--GoPTCN 08:33, 16 June 2012 (UTC)
- Huh; looks like you're right :S. My session must have timed out or something. I can't see any mdy/dmy problems in the references; all the references seem to use mdy from what I can see. If you mean the fact that references use mdy and the article dmy; the article is on a Commonwealth subject, and so dmy is most appropriate. Whoever wrote the citation toolbar and associated templates is clearly an American, and so those automatically format as mdy. All article dates seem consistently formatted with each other, and all reference dates seem consistently formatted with each other (unless you can point out one I've missed).

- No problems. I responded to some of your comments. It is very near to be promoted, just some small nitpicks. .--GoPTCN 19:54, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

- Pass! :)--GoPTCN 20:10, 16 June 2012 (UTC)
