Joseph McCarthy
This article is well-written, and its primary editors feel it is an excellent featured article candidate. (It is a former FAC, although that candidacy went moribund. That said, all the objections raised on its FAC (failed) page have been addressed.)  That said, as one of the steps on the route to Featured Article status, is peer review, something for which this article is ready. Tom e rTALK 20:20, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

There is no detail on contemporary ideas about McCarthy and his lasting impact on the American political psyche. There is one section packed full with footnotes which is great if people want to follow up on the finer points, but there are many other instances where cites should be given, one example is the bold interpreation of history like Eisenhower detested McCarthy and worked behind the scenes to limit his power. All fair use images should be tagged with Non-free fair use in and have a full fair use rationale on the image description page.--nixie 03:09, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
 * This is the point in nominating; McCarthy is somewhat in transition now, so the lasting impact is being re-evalutated. This article is as upto date from an NPOV position as anything available.  nobs 03:40, 3 December 2005 (UTC)


 * "Wartime log entries list eleven missions under McCarthy's name as an aerial photographer and tail gunner". I know McCarthy was often nicknamed "Tailgunner Joe", but I have no idea if this simply came from his service or if it was a nickname given for another reason. A passing note on that would be an interesting addition, if you have any idea for the reason... Shimgray | talk | 22:59, 11 December 2005 (UTC)


 * I want to know how many people Joseph McCarthy went after appeared as Communist in Venona and the declassified Soviet Archives.
