  • Comments - finally, an FAC in an area that I at least know something about. I think the term "military leader" could be confusing. Normally, "officer" is used in the vague sense. The "Tecumseh and Tippecanoe" could really use a picture to break it up. Are there any portraits of the battle or area? Of the individuals? The Tecumseh, Tenskwatawa, and Tecumseh's War seem to have some. The "Public office" subheading under "Post-war life" seems unnecessary. The picture in "1840 presidential campaign" is formatting against blockquotes, which I think is not supposed to happen (but I don't remember if it is stated that it can't happen, someone can verify). The "Administration and cabinet" stood out, but not in a good way. The chart on the Lincoln page seems to be even scarier, so, if any changes happen, please don't go in -that- direction. There is a picture formatting under "Death", on the left, which would cause problems with WP:ACCESS. I suggest making the death section a level two header and having the next two sections as subheadings under it. Ottava Rima (talk) 14:57, 1 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Did most of this. Not sure what you mean by the rest. — Rlevse • Talk • 16:15, 1 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Haha, I'm not sure what "the rest" means in this case. Anything in particular that is confusing? :) Ottava Rima (talk) 17:09, 1 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Even better this time around. Good use of sub pages. Sumoeagle179 (talk) 17:06, 1 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Having supported the first time, I'm glad to see the previous FAC concerns have been addressed.  JGHowes  talk 23:14, 4 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm curious: What makes you believe the previous concerns were addressed? Is it because the nomination was "restarted"? —Kevin Myers 02:50, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The prose is more polished now, compared to my previous review (and some c/e) on Feb. 13, and overall the article is comprehensive, well organized, and nicely laid out, in my view (see diff).  JGHowes  talk 23:07, 6 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - I'd be able to list a few nit-picky things, but all in all, this is a comprehensive and encyclopedic account of Harrison. A few disclaimers: I'm a WikiCup competitor. Also, I did quite a bit of copyediting on this particular article prior to its initial nomination, but it appears the text has been altered significantly since then. –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 03:47, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
