Irving Freese

(

)

... that mayor Irving Freese of Norwalk, Connecticut, was re-elected despite his opponent having the endorsement of the Republicans, the Democrats, and even his own Socialist Party?

Shortened the hook slightly. Nyttend (talk) 20:42, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

The article's age, length and sourcing are fine. The hook is a good one, but it doesn't appear to be explicitly sourced in the article. Alansohn (talk) 20:11, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

I copied the ref from one sentence over which had applied to the whole paragraph. "The Norwalk Hour. Irving Freese Five-Term Mayor Dies of Heart Ailment at Age 61" The information is in the fifth paragraph of that article.

With the added source the article is good to go. Alansohn (talk) 17:08, 31 January 2013 (UTC)
