GA Review status: Fail

There has obviously been a lot of work done on this article, and much good content. Thank you for all your efforts. Unfortunately, I must quick fail the article because of quick fail criterion 5:

The article specifically concerns a rapidly unfolding current event with a definite endpoint.

Definitely the Roland Burris' appointment, the primary coverage of which is being done in this article, is a rapidly developing current event. Yesterday there was a story about his son getting a $75,000 a year job through Blago's administration 5 months ago. Even if this is a red herring, Burris' appointment is otherwise a hot topic right now.

Sorry, but look at it this way: at least you're not Rod Blagojevich! :-P Diderot's dreams (talk) 15:12, 27 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Understandable. When this was nominated, the thinking was now that he has been booted from office it is pretty much over for some time because the distant furutre may hold lengthy trials and appeals, but that is all crystal balling. When the Blagojevich Burlesque popped up again it was a bit of a surprise.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 15:32, 27 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

At this point the article is a big mess and needs to be rewritten to eliminate the news-added-daily problem. I'll try to work on it in the coming week. 24.16.106.217 (talk) 03:08, 9 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
