 * Notes
 * One image: creative commons ok
 * In Ext.Links, I question the value of Leggett's 2006 official election website
 * Palazzolo, Joe (unknown). "Leggett Ups His Bid to Run the County". The Sentinel. http://www.thesentinel.com/323855950446237.php. Retrieved 2007-01-22. seems to have a broken link.
 * In Early life, member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc, - why bother with the "Inc"?


 * Thanks for starting the review. I've dropped the external link (which had deprecated anyway) and the, "Inc." For the Sentinel article, it no longer seems to be online. I can drop by the public library tomorrow to double-check all of the information, as I assume it's OK being cited with an offline source. Geraldk (talk) 03:22, 5 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Leggett left the Maryland Democratic Party - which ref is this from? Does it mean he left the party or just the party's executive?
 * Fixed. Geraldk (talk) 17:54, 5 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Abandoning Doug Duncan's requirement [10] - I don't see any "requirement" in this ref, just a request to search another area, nor do I see how Duncan is involved.
 * Altered the text, dropped that ref anyway as unnecessary. Geraldk (talk) 17:58, 5 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Leggett's decision to create a day laborer location... - it was Leggett's decision? did the council not vote/approve? the ref makes it sound like a proposal than a decision.
 * Fixed. Geraldk (talk) 17:28, 5 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Please expand the moratorium proposal, providing context (why? what problem was it supposed to solve? how was it supposed to solve that problem?)
 * Fixed. Geraldk (talk) 17:28, 5 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Format footnote 14 to be consistent with the other references.
 * Fixed. Geraldk (talk) 17:28, 5 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Add the |location= field to the newspaper citations that don't already provide a place (like The Gazette and The Sentinel)
 * Fixed. Geraldk (talk) 17:54, 5 November 2009 (UTC)


 * I think his degree from George Washington University and the White House Fellow are worth mentioning.
 * Fixed. Geraldk (talk) 17:54, 5 November 2009 (UTC)


 * I think I've fixed everything so far. As regards the offline Sentinel ref, I was unable to find a copy of it at the library to confirm it's contents. I'm reasonably certain of the date, but if you would like I can hunt down alternate refs for the information it cites. I did find another citation (an online one) for the only potentially contentious portion of that text - the mention of the sexual harassment allegations. Thanks again for taking the time to review, I appreciate all the suggestions for improvement. Geraldk (talk) 17:58, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
 * It is ok if the ref is offline; I confirmed content with the other references provided. -maclean (talk) 19:09, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
