Comments

I must say I'm surprised to have found an article on a current mayor so comprehensive. Well, on with the review! Some comments:

His wife's full maiden name should be listed. Do you know when they were married? If so, that should be included.
It says "[t]he next mayoral election is scheduled for May 6, 2017." This needs to be updated. Did Harpole run, and did he win? How was the campaign?

Thanks! I've found and included his wife's maiden name. I couldn't find when they were married, only that they had been married for at least 37 years on an unknown date, which I don't think is specific enough. I've also updated the page for the recent election. Harpole did not run, and someone else succeeded him. Ramaksoud2000 ^{(Talk to me)} 22:44, 21 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, some more things (sorry I didn't notice the first time):

What is "Place 2"? A city district, a slot on the council? A simple and brief explanation in the body of the article might help. Also, it's so nuanced it doesn't need to be mentioned in the lead.
At the end of the lead, just briefly mention that Harpole chose not to seek reelection in 2017.

Thanks! I've explained what Place 2 is, and I added that he didn't seek re-election in the first paragraph of the lead after mentioning the dates he served as mayor. Seemed more appropriate there. Ramaksoud2000 ^{(Talk to me)} 21:51, 23 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Very good then. This article is a pass. Keep up the good work! -Indy beetle (talk) 23:27, 23 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
