Hi Jon698! I know it's going on one and a half months since you listed this, but I'll try and comment here within a week. Don't hesitate to ping me (relentlessly) if I forget. Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 21:11, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

Relentless pinging on behalf of Jon698: Eddie891, Eddie891, Eddie891 --Tom (LT) (talk) 05:23, 13 July 2020 (UTC)

Thanks, Tom. I completely forgot about this. Comments follow:

• I'd expect some detail about his life in the lede (i.e. you say he was a businessman -> can you put like a sentence about his business work? How about his later life?)
• "Porter County's assessor" could you link to assessor?
• " his transportation business" -> "a transportation business"
• ", with one truck using $2,100 in savings" suggest using {{inflation}}
• I think it's good practice to remove almost all usages of "would" and replace it with "did" or the year that it happened, as that's more specific.
• " and was succeeded by Al Williamson following his election to the state senate in 1958" something reads off about this to me. Maybe it's that we don't even know he's elected to the state senate yet? Perhaps rephrase or move down?
• might be a good idea to red-link some of the notable politicians?
• "Jasper County, Newton County, Porter County and Pulaski County" surely the counties could be linked?
• "defeated Mayor John E. Wiggins " mayor of what?
• " Mason. During his" perhaps in between a sentence about when he took office would be useful?
• "supported vice president Richard Nixon" supported for what? Did he play a role the election? What was the election's outcome? Was Nixon the Vice Presidential nominee or the incumbent Vice President?"
• "After Reynolds v. Sims" why does Reynolds v. Sims matter in this context? What year was it?
• " in the general election. On March 4, 1966," did he do nothing in his second term?
• I think there's a lot of potential terms that you should link (i.e. Governor of Indiana, Lake Michigan). They aren't uncommon terms, but also aren't so common that it's unreasonable to link
• "He represented Indiana's 2nd congressional district during the 91st, 92nd and 93rd sessions of congress and was a member of the Education and Labor Committee and a ranking minority member on the Subcommittee on Government Operations and the Subcommittee on Agricultural Labor." Uncited, and what is a 'ranking minority member'?
• "missing multiple votes and not being supportive enough of Nixon." what does 'missing' a vote mean here?
• ", but in the past he stated " is wanting of a more specific date
• " for the Republican nomination" to what?
• "He narrowly defeated Boehning" who is he here?
• "and would rather " -> "and said he would rather"?
• "due to him distributing Bibles which he did as he was a devout Lutheran" reads oddly to me...
• " he became ill " any more detail on his sickness?
• perhaps {{main}} for the 'Watergate' section?
• " 30 Republicans to vote against him due to his "extreme liberalism"" Did all 30 republicans vote against him for that reason, or just Landgrebe?
• "He was named as one of the top "Ten Dumbest Congressmen" by New Times" date?
• "Fithian was the first Democratic candidate to win in Indiana's Second Congressional district since George R. Durgan in the 1932 elections when the Democrats also saw a landslide victory nationally." uncited
• "with him stating " nixon or landgrebe?
• "Democrats would be elected" -> "Democrats were elected"
• "Indiana state senate" I think it's State Senate?
• You should probably add some more on his political views to the lede too

That's it for now, Jon698: It seems to be in pretty good shape, though I won't speak to comprehensiveness. I'd also recommend approaching some users experienced in FAs about US politics and asking them to comment here-- that's the best way to get good comments, and the worst they can say is know. All my comments are subjective, please don't feel obligated to insitute them, and I'm happy to discuss/explain any/all further.
