James K. Polk
Self nomination. -- Emsworth 21:43, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)


 * Well done! Support. Minor quibble: you might want to give a quick definition of "dark horse" in the introduction--the term might not be familiar to all readers. Meelar (talk) 21:49, Feb 20, 2005 (UTC)
 * Support. This is really a well done page, although I'm not a professional dictionarian Wim van Dorst 22:39, 2005 Feb 20 (UTC)
 * I'm impressed. I fixed a couple date issues by fully wikifying them, even though the years were linked previously – it allows the user preferences to take effect when they are fully linked.  One tiny detail - why the See Also link to U.S. presidential election, 1844 when it's also linked in the title of one of the sections?  Anyway, support. --Spangineer &#8734; 22:40, Feb 20, 2005 (UTC)
 * Support Peb1991 02:56, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Support, but the first line of the article is "" (in Firefox/WinXP). However, I can't see the error in the source text. Jeronimo 07:37, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Support. 11th president of the US? Never knew the guy, but the article looks sound. Agree with above minor quibbles. Mgm|(talk) 09:27, Feb 21, 2005 (UTC)
 * Support. Got to this article first via link from a list I've been working on and was considering nominating it myself. Filiocht 09:40, Feb 21, 2005 (UTC)
 * Support - "the factions soon agreed, he's just the man we need" ... I'm not sure the TMBG song (on Factory Showroom, incidentally) is really "educational" though.  Are you doing James Ensor, "Belgium's famous painter", next? -- ALoan (Talk) 12:45, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Support - Excellent article! --SFoskett 18:17, Feb 24, 2005 (UTC)
 * Support. A well written article worthy of nomination.  --GRider\talk 23:54, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)

 * The Wall Stree Journal editorial board's book list for 15:10, 17 February 2007 (UTC) includes a biography of James K. Polk. I thought I'd update the article, and indeed, fixed a few things.
