This is one of the more impressive biographies I've seen. It is well-cited, well-written, and attractively presented. It looks like a featured article to me.--Bookworm857158367 04:33, 17 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I've done a lot of work on this article recently, so I'm not sure if I get to support the nomination, but I do think it's of good quality and should be featured. I'd be happy to make any changes that are necessary. Coemgenus 17:01, 17 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- comment This seems incorrect as written: "When the League of Nations attempted to revise the Senate's reservations, the Senate failed to act; the United States never joined the World Court.[1]" The League could not 'revise' the Senate's reservations; it might attempt to 'meet' them, however.

It was more like a counter-offer. I'll rephrase it. Coemgenus 18:46, 17 February 2007(UTC) Done. Coemgenus 18:57, 17 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- comment Regarding his cause of death, it looks like he died from being disappointed in Hoover's defeat by Roosevelt. This seems medically unlikely. What did he die from? Hmains 18:39, 17 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Heart attack. I'll add it as soon as I find a citation. Coemgenus 18:46, 17 February 2007 (UTC)Done. Coemgenus 18:57, 17 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Support- I like it. It definitely seems to be on the right level. FireSpike 22:05, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Support. I reviewed the article in Biography project, and it is indeed very nice.--Yannismarou 13:10, 24 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Support
with Comment-minor concern - the Cabinet section (sec. 6.9) seems oddly formatted - The images and the infobox are placed apart and create too much blank space.Otherwise, this article appears to be top-notch. -- Oaxaca dan 15:45, 24 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]- Comment: I agree. It was like that when I found the article, and I don't know how to fix it. If anyone knows more about layout, I'd be glad for the help. Coemgenus 17:04, 24 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Looks like its been largely dealt with - there's still some extra white space, but i guess there's only so much you can do with a table and a bunch of pictures. --Oaxaca dan 02:26, 26 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Weak oppose Image:John W. Davis.png claims that the image is PD because the author died at least 100 years ago (1907). If the photographer were to have died that year, Davis would be 34, which doesn't seem the case. Regardless, there is no source provided whatsoever. ShadowHalo 21:03, 25 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I hadn't noticed that. If I remove that photo, would the article be acceptable? Coemgenus 02:16, 26 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Sure, sounds fine since it's mostly decorative. If you do, feel free to strike out my objection; I'll ask the uploader in the meantime. ShadowHalo 02:19, 26 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I replaced it with one I found at the Library of Congress website. If you find out that the old one is legit, let me know - I like that one better. Coemgenus 02:28, 26 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I think you forgot to add the ID#; the link isn't working. ShadowHalo 04:36, 26 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Ah, yes. I didn't quite understand the template. Should be working now. Coemgenus 14:11, 26 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
