Tony Benn
This peer review discussion has been closed. I've listed this article for peer review because I wish to nominate it for Good article status and would appreciate any comments on where it might be lacking.

 * The sentence "He is one of the few UK politicians to have become more left-wing after holding ministerial office" has a citation to Benn's own book. It should be made clear that this is an opinion, not a fact: if those are his own words, it should be something like "He describes himself as one of the few...." Wereon (talk) 02:48, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for pointing that out. It is a paraphrase, I have amended that sentence. –– Jezhotwells (talk) 21:19, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

Comments by Road Wizard

Here are my comments against the GA criteria:
 * 1) Well-written:
 * 2) *"after a career as a prominent educationalist" - what is an educationalist? Would "after a prominent career in education" suit better?
 * Educationalist is a fairly common word, I have wikilinked it. –– Jezhotwells (talk) 21:19, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
 * 1) *Two images are next to each other close to the end of the article. One of the images should be moved per MOS:IMAGES to prevent sandwiching of text.
 * Done –– Jezhotwells (talk) 21:19, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
 * 1) Factually accurate and verifiable:
 * 2) *A rough guide for adding citations is to have at least one per paragraph and one immediately after any quote. There are a large number of paragraphs without a single citation.
 * Working on this –– Jezhotwells (talk) 21:19, 2 May 2010 (UTC) Done. –– Jezhotwells (talk) 16:30, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
 * 1) *There is at least one Ibid citation used. It should be replaced by a full citation or the original edit should be found to confirm which other reference it was referring to.
 * Done. –– Jezhotwells (talk) 21:19, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
 * 1) *A mixture of different citation styles are used. I would recommend converting all citations to the style, such as cite web and cite news.
 * Done. –– Jezhotwells (talk) 21:19, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
 * 1) Broad in its coverage:
 * 2) *Not yet checked
 * 3) Neutral:
 * 4) *Not yet checked
 * 5) Stable:
 * 6) *Seems as stable as any political biography can be. There are occasional reverts and rephrasing in the history, but no major disputes that are obvious in the recent past.
 * 7) Illustrated, if possible, by images:
 * 8) *There are several images in the article so it passes this test.

I have left my initial comments above. I will add to them later when I get a chance to read the article in more detail. Road Wizard (talk) 10:39, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks, as noted above, I am working on providing further cites. –– Jezhotwells (talk) 21:19, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
