Issues with 1b: (Fixed)
- The lead needs to be expanded a bit, to adequately summarize all the sections of the article, incorporating some more information from the "Career" and "Personal" sections.
- I have expanded, but I did not add anything from the personal section.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 15:14, 19 December 2013 (UTC)
- Also, the first line of the lead mentions him as the president of Fortress but the actual designation by the company's website is that of the Principal and Director here which is in fact mentioned in the Career section as Before assuming his current roles at Fortress as Principal and Director.
- Fixed.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 15:15, 19 December 2013 (UTC)
- The next issue may be with the sentence - He served in the U.S. Army National Guard after college. US Army National Guard may not be so intuitive and clear to non-US citizens. The company's website again mentions it as served as a helicopter pilot in the US Army, which comes in the first line of the Career section as After a stint in the New Jersey National Guard that included service as a helicopter pilot. Now the only doubt in my mind is whether his service as a pilot was just a part of his overall service in the US Army National Guard.
- I don't understand the issue here.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 15:27, 19 December 2013 (UTC)
- One more issue appears to me is again with the first sentence is the president of investment firm Fortress Investment Group. Shouldn't this statement also incorporate the date like as of to show how current this information is?
- I don't think so.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 15:20, 19 December 2013 (UTC)
- Finally, link to New Jersey National Guard and Chief Information Officer as well. --Seabuckthorn ♥ 13:58, 19 December 2013 (UTC)
- linked.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 15:22, 19 December 2013 (UTC)
OK, everything looks good now. Passing the article to GA status. --Seabuckthorn ♥ 02:48, 20 December 2013 (UTC)
Comment. The lede of the article currently includes sentence ""He is an advocate for the sport on the global stage." What sport? Currently there is no context provided, at all. I am guessing something must have been deleted, rendering this sentence nonsensical, for the moment. --doncram 20:43, 30 December 2013 (UTC)
- This review has been completed. You should be commenting on the article talk page. I am now unwatching this page.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 21:23, 30 December 2013 (UTC)
- Oh, okay, i am not very familiar with GA reviews and there is no obvious closure of this review, like for closure of AFDs. And I see you edited the article just now to clarify that it is the sport of wrestling, in the lede. Thanks. --doncram 21:54, 30 December 2013 (UTC)
