Comments and discussion[edit]

Checklinks show a very slight requirement of cleanup like domain path clearance, which would be worth a while for the article's tidiness. Ṫ Ḧ ^{the joy of the LORD}_{my strength} 13:26, 8 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Second paragraph of death section can be updated with few more inline cites for a better stability. Ṫ Ḧ ^{the joy of the LORD}_{my strength} 13:26, 8 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Removed. I cannot find evidence that the bridge (which is still under construction as the whole project is running years behind) has been or will be named after him. Hawkeye7 (talk) 03:53, 9 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Early life section needs a rewrite for paraphrasing. Ṫ Ḧ ^{the joy of the LORD}_{my strength} 13:26, 8 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Additional notes[edit]

^ Compliance with other aspects of the Manual of Style, or the Manual of Style mainpage or subpages of the guides listed, is not required for good articles.
^ Either parenthetical references or footnotes can be used for in-line citations, but not both in the same article.
^ This requirement is significantly weaker than the "comprehensiveness" required of featured articles; it allows shorter articles, articles that do not cover every major fact or detail, and overviews of large topics.
^ Vandalism reversions, proposals to split or merge content, good faith improvements to the page (such as copy editing), and changes based on reviewers' suggestions do not apply. Nominations for articles that are unstable because of unconstructive editing should be placed on hold.
^ Other media, such as video and sound clips, are also covered by this criterion.
^ The presence of images is not, in itself, a requirement. However, if images (or other media) with acceptable copyright status are appropriate and readily available, then some such images should be provided.
