 * Symbol question.svg Article is big enough and new enough. Neutrally written. All except the lede is referenced (that would normally be OK but...) Hook is in the article. But this fact about not attending law school is unreferenced, and I cannot see it in the obituary . QPQ performed. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 04:38, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Reply Apparently you missed this obituary which explicitly says he had no formal college training in the law. "Without the benefit of a college legal training, Wiest rose from a youthful steamfitters job and became known as one of the unique characters of Michigan jurisprudence."  7&amp;6=thirteen (☎) 10:56, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Good that reference is suitable, so on the "nor attended law school" clause can you add that ref please? Graeme Bartlett (talk) 11:15, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Graeme Bartlett, Reference and quotation is already there. See Note A, Upper alpha. I also added it as a reference to the "never attended law school", which I hope satisfies you and your concern. 7&amp;6=thirteen (☎) 12:02, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg now good to go as the hook fact is cited. Hook is also short enough. Good to go. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 23:03, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
