New Jersey State Constitution[edit]

The article's been Peer Review-ed, GA, and I've worked on it for a long time. Peer Review didn't really give me much to work with, so I'm nominating it. Evan(Salad dressing is the milk of the infidel!) 11:19, 9 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose There's a {{citation needed}} tag in the lead, there's a section tagged as needing copyediting, and only two references don't come from the state constitution itself. The "Criticisms" paragraph is a mess. -- Kicking222 14:42, 9 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong Oppose per above. Rlevse 15:20, 9 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose - In addition to the issues pointed out by kicking, I'm concerned with consistency throughout the article. A couple of the articles are summarized in a few sentences, while others go on for paragraphs. I understand that the articles vary in their complexity, but I still think some need to be beefed up a bit. For example, Article I does not detail all the unalienable rights, and Article III does not mention what the 3 branches are. Not to put too much on the table, but the entire article could use a very mild edit to remove passive voice when possible. Nice job on the article to this point, and good luck with the final push!

  • Comment I wouldn't even approve this as GA, it seems to have degraded since it got GA rating.Rlevse 01:21, 10 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
