I'm starting a review of this article and will provide updates periodically. ––Formal ^talk 10:04, 8 November 2021 (UTC)

Background

• Sentence two is missing an inline citation.

Gaining the nomination

Preparing for a run

• Remove "and used it in his speech" as it is redundant and potentially confusing as Reagan's speech was an announcement speech rather than an acceptance speech like Roosevelt's.

Republican presidential primaries

• Sentence three is missing an inline citation.

Opponents

• This focuses primarily on the aspect of his opponents primaries. Some content should be added about the rivalry between Carter and Regan directly.
  • Yeah, but this section is for providing an in-sight on campaigns of Reagan's opponents. I have tried to keep this section brief and concise, as mentioning some background information about them is important. Other aspects of Reagan's campaign have been provided in the 'Campaign' section. – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 09:52, 9 November 2021 (UTC)

Rallies and debates

• "pledged to deliver a balanced budget for the first time since 1969." this needs elaboration and clarification. It appears Reagan was not necessarily the first to propose it since 1969, but rather, if successful, he would have been the first to do it. Possible elaboration on the effects Regan's policies actually had on the national deficit.

Aftermath and legacy

• Debategate should be mentioned in the rallies and debates section as well.
• "reinvigorate the U.S. economy and reduce reliance upon government" needs inline citations.

@Kavyansh.Singh: please take a look at these notes and I will then submit my final review! ––Formal ^talk 06:04, 9 November 2021 (UTC)

@FormalDude – I believe that I have addressed everything/replied above. Thanks for the review. – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 09:52, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
