5x expansion verified. Age, length of article OK. Looks well-referenced. First hook is interesting and hook fact AGF. Good to go. Yoninah (talk) 16:01, 22 January 2012 (UTC)

Added (pictured) and verified public domain status of image; however, I'd like to note that the image isn't sharp and has some kind of screen over it. Yoninah (talk) 16:06, 22 January 2012 (UTC)

I uploaded a higher resolution which is better than the original. --KAVEBEAR (talk) 05:29, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

Duelling review here . . .

for ALT1. I found the source online and verified it; checked a sample of the refs and found no plagiarism, but AGF on those I wished to check and could not see. Article is well referenced, coherent, and I agree, young enough and more than five times expanded. However, the original hook is misleading; it was the proposal to grant Arizona statehood as part of a combined state with New Mexico that he opposed, and the article states that he pushed moral legislation because it increased the likelihood of statehood being granted. Good to go for ALT1 but not for the original hook, in my opinion. Yngvadottir (talk) 17:45, 22 January 2012 (UTC)
