Pio of Pietrelcina

It's a very good article for Padre Pio. Green Owl ^{Uh uh}

Without giving it a detailed look I can tell you the lead is too short. --Lenin and McCarthy | (Complain here) 04:45, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

• Oppose - not bad article, but I'm afraid I'll not support yet. Lead is short, from the first glance I think one or two more paragraphs should be written. Not sure about wording, but from section "Desire to become a friar", "it is said" doesn't sound well. And third, although references are sufficient (haven't checked reliability), they need balancing, as sections "Supernatural phenomena" and "Sainthood" and possibly others are weakly or not sourced at all, and most of the references need formatting for author, access date, etc. and merging same pages into one.

• Oppose. Inadequate WP:LEAD, rambling TOC with WP:MSH issues, unformatted citations (see WP:CITE/ES; all sources need a publisher, websources need a last accessd date, author and publication date should be given when available), citation needs (example, Half a million people were estimated to have attended the announcement ceremony.)
