Howard Hughes

Support. Truly one of the better articles on Wikipedia... Well researched and highly annotated, I think it should be shared actively with the rest of the Wikipedia public... Check-Six 18:20, 21 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
~~Comment~~ Object: As noted by another editor at the tail end of the peer review, there are some pretty inane internal links in the "recluse" section (peas, nipples, barber, etc.) that should be removed. Kafziel 18:46, 21 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Object. No inline references or footnotes. Every FA has them. Daniel Case 19:03, 21 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - No references, no footnotes, lead too short, birth too short, education too short and RKO too short. ^KILO-_LIMA 19:14, 21 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: the issue regarding his birthdate needs to be resolved. If Dec. 24 was his "official" birthday but not his real birthday, don't use it.--Fallout boy 20:36, 21 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Object per Daniel Case. References and footnotes are integral to any FA (as noted in WP:WIAFA). bcasterline^talk 21:43, 21 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Object per above- no inline citations. Several sections (including the lead) are too short, and need expansion. AndyZ 23:15, 21 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Object per User:AndyZ. --Off! 06:23, 22 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Object per Daniel Case. It should really be emphasized that a minimum of 3 references and inline citations are required for an article to be a featured article. Far too many articles are nominated without them, and they often play a decisive role in nominations being shot down. Captain Jackson 18:34, 22 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Object, good info, but references, internal links, and external link format is not up to par. Rlevse 11:52, 24 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support, good article. Gunslinger 22:05, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Object per others -- article fails to reference or cite via inline the majority of the content. —Erik (talk • contrib • review) - 19:32, 9 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
