1756:: Definite PR needed, I'm afraid. I haven't read the article at length, but I see a few technical aspects that need to be revisited. First of all, the EL section is overblown; the general belief is that the more links are included, the less useful the section becomes. Cull what is less notable, and perhaps tone down the editorial additions; for example, what makes one link "popular" or "good early history", and the others not? Why such a long list to works listed on Gutenberg? Also, I'm surprised (what with the huge amount of sources available) that the article leans heavily on the two Donald books. Is there a reason more than half of the citations are made to these works, as opposed to the dozens of others that are out there? The citations themselves need c-e for consistency, as well: a few "Donald"s are missing the year in parentheses, and do citations end with periods or no? Such an important article, but more work needs to be done.
1724:: This is a hugely important article and has been the subject of much recent work, but I believe it should not be here at this point. The article's history shows that since its delisting from FA status in October 2006 it has failed GAN four times, the last in September 2009. It has never, so far as I can see, had a formal peer review. The number of points raised in this review thus far highlight its unpreparedness for FAC. Please bring it to PR.
917:"In August 1861, Gen. John Fremont in Missouri created controversy, on the Republican side, when he issued, without consulting Lincoln, a proclamation of martial law in that entire state, declaring that any citizen found bearing arms could be court-martialed and shot and that slaves of persons aiding the rebellion would be freed" - split or reword sentence for flow
364:"Under his leadership, the Union took control of the border slave states at the start of the war, and tried repeatedly to capture the Confederate capital at Richmond; when one general failed, Lincoln tried another, until finally Grant succeeded in 1865" - repetitious use of "tried", and "Lincoln tried another" isn't the best phrasing anyways
464:"But he became increasingly distant from his father. He regretted his father's lack of education, and was not inclined to a vocation of hard labor as was requisite to their frontier life; although, he willingly took on all chores expected of him as a male in the household, albeit young, tall and thin" - reword for clarity and flow
1798:. I'm reading this together with a buddy who's a Lincoln enthusiast. I agree with above comments that this needs a PR and a thorough copy edit. I'm finding a lot of repetitive or unnecessary wording, and in several instances controversial statements presented as plain fact. Here's a sample, I can provide more later.
621:"Congress never enacted the resolution or even debated it; it got no reaction from the executive, or in the papers nationally, and it resulted in a loss of political support for Lincoln in his district; one Illinois newspaper derisively nicknamed him "spotty Lincoln.". " - run-on sentence, fix punctuation
1582:
Personally, I'd prune some of the external links - the
Lincoln memorial website's a better link for the Lincoln Memorial article, you use the Lincoln Institute as a ref, so if it passes scrutiny, it should not be in the external links, Likewise you use the Lincoln Boyhood home and the Lincoln home
1427:
Yeah, sorry, I could go on like that for a while...definite copy-editing needed, and a check for consistency in all sorts of things, but I'd say it also needs some attention from a non-US reader (or at least someone who's not an expert on
American history) to catch stuff that needs to be explained
1697:
It wasn't abrahamlincoln.com, it was abrahamlincolninfo.com. It probably isn't a reliable source either, but it's not spam like the first one would have been. Also, it's in the external links section, which has different rules. It will probably be removed at the next FAC, but it isn't hurting
266:
there is a demand to shorten it, a lot of the military stuff the generals did could be edited out. I say this as a Civil War nut and living historian with scores of books on the military aspects of the War. After all, the article is about Abe, not what the generals did.
2118:
There are a lot of controversial points that are presented as uncontested facts. e.g. committing Mary to an asylum is attributed to the deaths--that's heavily contested. You could just take out the cause and effect there and state that Robert had her committed. Also,

1636:
I haven't looked at the ref, but it should probably be cited directly to what it is instead of through worldcat, unless wordlcat provides a full copy, in which case it should still be cited to the original, but a convenience link to worldcat is a good thing. -

I read once that only Jesus Christ has had more books written about him than

1780:
Re the heavy use of Donald references, it may be worth noting 1) Donald is as highly regarded and as often cited as any, among
Lincoln's biographers, and 2) in almost all cases the cites are used to source facts, not opinions.
344:"To facilitate this, Lincoln exercised unprecedented war powers, granted under the Constitution, including the arrest and detention, without warrant, of suspected secessionists in the thousands" - suggest rewording for clarity

One evening, absorbed in his reading at home, Lincoln suddenly was rapped on the head with a piece of firewood by Mary, who had made four requests of him to restart the fire with no response.
1001:"drumbeat of complaints" - I'm not familiar with this phrase; does it mean lots of complaints, loud complaints, a sudden storm of complaints, steady complaints over a period of time...?
1339:"The only known photographs of Lincoln giving a speech were taken as he delivered his second inaugural address" - did he not speak at his first inauguration? Source for this statement?
785:"Lincoln's 1860 candidacy is held up by the slavery issue (slave on left) and party organization (New York Tribune editor Horace Greeley) on right." - make parentheses use consistent

Lincoln was a member of the Union Party in 1864, and a Republican only in 1865. What is the rationale for this distinction?
