Mazie Hirono
I think this article illustrates one of the best points of Wikipedia. It is very well developed and the value of the article's quality meets many standards. Self-nom. naskgetty (talk) 22:29, 29 July 2007


 * Oppose. From a quick glance I can see that the lead is pretty short and, more worryingly, there is a severe lack of sources. The brevity of the article would also make me suspect it is missing something. --Lenin and McCarthy |  (Complain here) 01:08, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Furthermore, "self nom" indicates you have worked on the article. From your contributions I'd say you haven't. --Lenin and McCarthy |  (Complain here) 01:13, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Oppose The sources should be properly cited, i.e. author, date, title - not just the URL. --thedemonhog talk • edits 02:33, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
 * ok I fixed the sourcesnaskgetty 09:19, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I made some minor changes. The majority of sentences in the "Early years," "Legislative career," "Lieutenant Governor" and "Gubernatorial Campaign of 2002" sections should have references.  The article has a lot of potential once you get those sources.  --thedemonhog talk • edits 20:02, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Oppose: Many sections of the article are very short and seem to be lacking complete coverage such as the section on Hirono's legislative career. Also, a lot more things should be sourced. -- Underneath-it-All 15:59, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Oppose - commendable effot, but this doesn't even meet good article criteria: MOS issues; one sentence paragraphs and one paragraph subheadings; improper date formatting; few inline citations; and the article needs a thorough copyediting.--Esprit15d 16:05, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
