Martin Luther King, Jr.
This article seems pretty good, with a lot of citations and related pages. It was only rated B-class for Wikiproject USA, though. — Captain 538  [talk] 23:51, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: Referencing looks weak. The article has several sections without inline citations along with an unreferenced and multiple fact templates. --Allen3 talk 00:53, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong object per above plus the lead does not summarize the article. Needs work. Having said that, I'd love to see a knowledgeable person make this FA worthy. Rlevse 12:48, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Object. It needs much more work. Short lead. Not properly referenced, with some listy sections, other sections are tagged etc.--Yannismarou 17:49, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Object - As above, also, the sections seem unorganized to me. Needs better strucutre. Fieari 02:00, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Object - not ready, per above, perhaps a stint at peer review will help. Sandy (Talk) 15:51, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: found a factual problem, MLK is the only american with a federal holiday in honor, as washington's birthday is now Presidents day and columbus is italian. the article says that he is one of three with a holiday in honor.
 * Object. This article needs serious work. Controversial claims are unreferenced, some sections do not include references at all. Lead needs expansion. Article has too much trivia. King in popular culture section needs to be deleted entirely. Other sections need to be rewritten so that they flow better and form a coherant narrative. Kaldari 22:56, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
