Criteria edit
GA Criteria
|
---|
GA Criteria:
|
- No DAB links
- No dead links
- No missing citations : At the close of the first phase of the hearings, the committee, on June 24, issued four more subpoenas for additional White House tapes and materials related to a variety of issues of concern.
- Nixon resigned from office on August 9, 1974, before the House received the committee's recommendation for action.
Discussion edit
Prose Suggestions edit
Please note that almost all of these are suggestions, and can be implemented or ignored at your discretion. Any changes I deem necessary for the article to pass GA standards I will bold.
Lede edit
- Per MOS:LEDE, reduce the paragraphs to three or four paragraphs; this could fairly easily be done by merging the first and second, and third and fourth, IMO.
Background edit
- Nixon thereupon ordered that Cox be fired, precipitating the immediate departures of Attorney General Richardson and Deputy Attorney General William Ruckelshaus in what became known as the "Saturday Night Massacre. I would expand this a little to explain that the two refused to fire him and resigned and that Bork himself did so.
- Will consider.
Push for investigation edit
- Importantly, Rodino told the committee that the Ford nomination would not be held "hostage" until the impeachment inquiry was completed. perhaps remove Importantly
Assembling of investigation staff edit
- plus scores of researchers, clerks, typists, and other support personnel, who all worked long, sometimes tedious hours. I feel like this should probably be removed, and the above paragraph merged with the one below.
Inquiry staff investigation edit
- will say: This was the right course. There was no other way." it seems there should be double quotes here, perhaps: will say: "This was the right course. There was no other way.""
- put off completing the request. suggest changing put off to delayed
Obstruction of justice edit
- and had some proponents of the article worried for a while. ... But in response, the proponents rallied seems a tad informal, perhaps which initially led some proponents of the article to worry, but ultimately caused them to rally. (bringing up the first sentence of the next paragraph to end the sentence)
- done.
Cambodia bombing / war powers edit
- intentionally concealed from Congress "the facts" suggest reordering to intentionally concealed "the facts" from Congress
- done.
Political fallout edit
- "Devastating—impeachable," Sandman told reporters (now having the "specificity" he had demanded during the hearings) suggest removing the parenthesis and inserting a comma, to "Devastating—impeachable," Sandman told reporters, now having the "specificity" he had demanded during the hearings
- done.
Epilogue edit
- Suggest renaming this section to "Aftermath"
- renamed.
- @Drdpw: That is all of my suggestions, passing now. Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 05:43, 26 August 2022 (UTC)
