Obviously not far off, a few points: jimfbleak (talk) 06:31, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
 * 1)  problem of points. - I would have found a half sentence gloss useful to have some idea what this was before following the link
 * 2) Bernoulli produced a great deal of mathematical output between 1684 and 1689; he wrote Ars Conjectandi in this period. - Why not just , including Ars Conjectandi. ?
 * 3)  Bernoulli titled the work Ars Conjectandi because in it, he conjectured about the nature of theoretical probability.[citation needed]  - there’s a fact tag
 * 4) First equation ends in a comma, must be wrong since end of a sentence
 * 5) probability achieving at least a number of successes  - should there be an “of” somewhere?
 * 6) Second equation - is the full stop MoS? Looks odd, but if you say it’s correct, fine
 * 7)  He presented probability problems related to these. In addition, he posed generalizations of the problems without specific constants.  - Can’t this be one sentence?
 * 8) Combinatorial methods to determine theoretical chances of outcomes of an event were referred to as "equity", and "probability" was used in a strictly empirical sense.[not in citation given] - Cite being queried
 * 9)  Thomas Simpson achieved a result that closely resembled de Moivre's. Thomas Bayes wrote an essay discussing theological implications of de Moivre's results.  - Another sentence on each would be helpful, the first sentence really says nothing, and the second gives no clue to why it should have any implications.

1-7 (excluding 3) addressed; the other three I'll do soon. Thanks for taking the time to review this. Nousernamesleft (talk) 17:39, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

Looks good to me, promoting to GA. jimfbleak (talk) 18:36, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
