Hi. I'm Calvin999 and I am reviewing this nomination.  — Calvin999 19:42, 20 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

  • was the president of Argentina from → presumably he's not the only president of Argentina?
  • He died on March 31, 2009, → Just checking, does Argentina use American date formatting?
  • at the age of 82. → aged 82.
  • a big candlelight vigil took place in the vicinity of it. → There's something about this which reads a bit informal and not very encyclopaedic.
  • the most important politicians → Same as before. I suggest 'senior politicians'
  • people from other countries also voiced their respect for him. → Such as?
  • where he was left. → where he was left?! I doubt he was just left there.
  • You link lung cancer in Health and death, but not in the lead?
  • a number of turnings for the worse, → Too informal
  • The president Cristina Kirchner → The current president
  • Link Cristina Kirchne
  • Sadler announced → Is his name misspelt?
  • Sadler announced it at 21:03, after confirming it. → This reads awkward
  • He was sleeping at the moment, → Again, this isn't well constructed and is a bit confusing.
  • If Argentina using American dates then they likely use American English spelling? So neighbours should be neighbors.
  • The president Cristina Fernández de Kirchner was → You're using a full name here and linking it, but the previous section is styled differently and not linked?
  • was out of the country at the moment, → Same as before, this makes no sense.
  • There were almost a thousand people, → Almost a thousand people attended,
  • and singed → and sung
  • The people was → The people were
  • but the huge amount → huge is too informal. Vast, perhaps?
  • The governments of Spain, United States, Brazil, Mexico, Uruguay, Paraguay, Peru, Colombia, France and Chile → I would alphabetise these.
  • after futfilling his goals. → typo, I guess you mean fulfilling.
Outcome

I debated the outcome of this nomination with myself for a while. I found it quite confusing in places. I'm assuming that English is not your first language? I will put it on hold for 7 days, as you should be able to amend the above.  — Calvin999 20:00, 20 August 2015 (UTC)Reply
