Cheers, — Cirt (talk) 08:44, 5 November 2012 (UTC)
Next up going to expand lede intro, summarizing main article contents, per WP:LEAD. Just going to give it a breather for a bit to read over the article and soak it in before going back and summarizing it. Will update here. Cheers, — Cirt (talk) 08:20, 5 November 2012 (UTC)
This article was recently reviewed and passed successfully as WP:GA quality, review is at Talk:Freedom for the Thought That We Hate/GA1. Cheers, — Cirt (talk) 05:37, 9 November 2012 (UTC)
This article underwent a copy-edit through WP:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors. — Cirt (talk) 04:37, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
Removed this sect, per FAC comments. Posting it here below in case there's any useful info for future incorporation here or somewhere else:
Anthony Lewis (1927–2013) was twice awarded the Pulitzer Prize for his writing.[1][2] Lewis was a columnist for The New York Times before retiring in 2001.[1] His first Pulitzer Prize award was awarded in 1955 for journalism with the Washington Daily News reporting on a member of the military dismissed from the United States Navy.[2] The individual was later allowed back into military service due to Lewis' investigative journalism.[2] In 1963 Lewis received his second Pulitzer Prize for his work for The New York Times reporting on the Supreme Court of the United States.[2] He was awarded the Nieman Fellowship by the Nieman Foundation for Journalism at Harvard University.[2]
Lewis' previous works include Gideon's Trumpet (1964) about Clarence Earl Gideon and the U.S. Supreme Court case Gideon v. Wainwright,[3][4] Portrait of a Decade: The Second American Revolution (1964),[5][6] and Make No Law: The Sullivan Case and the First Amendment (1991) discussing the U.S. Supreme Court case New York Times Co. v. Sullivan.[7][8] He edited the compilation work Written into History: Pulitzer Prize Reporting of the Twentieth Century from The New York Times (2001).[9][10] Lewis died on March 25, 2013 at the age of 85.[11]
Perhaps this info could be made use of somewhere later.

to all involved. This is an excellent summary of a good book. --Anthonyhcole (talk · contribs · email) 11:25, 13 May 2013 (UTC)
Regarding this verification needed tag - please check the cite itself, the title is just a title, not the verification for the info, ROFLMAO. — Cirt (talk) 15:17, 5 June 2013 (UTC)
Hopefully this is satisfactory, — Cirt (talk) 15:24, 5 June 2013 (UTC)
Removed unnecessary line breaks inside citations. — Cirt (talk) 19:03, 21 September 2013 (UTC)
Being the smart ass that I am I would like to point out that a very similar quote appeared previously in Rosa Luxemburg's 1918 essay on the Russian Revolution (published 1919).
"Freiheit ist immer die Freiheit des Andersdenkenden" ("Freedom is always the freedom of the one who thinks differently")
I don't think it's necessary to include that information in this article. I just felt it needs to be known to anyone who wants to work with this quote and assign any greater significance to Holmes genius. --BjKa (talk) 07:48, 25 September 2013 (UTC)
The Republican party as linked in this article didn't exist until 1854, so punishing it in 1798 would be rather difficult. However, the Democratic-Republican party did exist, and was, I think, the target of those acts. 207.245.177.5 (talk) 17:34, 25 September 2013 (UTC) KPM
Apparently rolled back, this line in the intro has returned: "The book istelf, was quite awful." Manytexts (talk) 10:47, 26 September 2013 (UTC)
Please, stop the drive-by-tagging of a Featured Article quality page. Instead, discuss concerns on talk page, thank you.

This change creates a longer strung together sentence with multiple commas which is too long and exists better in the prior version as two separate sentences. Please let's keep it to the previous style of shorter sentences, thank you. — Cirt (talk) 11:06, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
This edit was inappropriate as it removed summarizing info from the lede intro sect. Per WP:LEAD, the lede intro sect is supposed to be able to function adequately as a standalone summary of the entire article's contents. This is the version approved at FAC and one single solitary sentence is not enough of a summary of the entire Reception section. Thank you, — Cirt (talk) 11:08, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
This change creates unnecessarily longer sentence in Contents section. This is unnecessary and inappropriate. Best to keep it to prior version of two separate, shorter sentences. I'm really against this tendency to add commas liberally and then mash two shorter sentences together. — Cirt (talk) 11:10, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
I've gone ahead and trimmed unused info box fields, in addition to the "preceded by" field which apparently per ((Infobox book)) is only intended to be used for series books. Cheers, — Cirt (talk) 11:12, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
Will go through links in article and perform some minor fixes with Checklinks report in mind, above. — Cirt (talk) 03:54, 18 October 2014 (UTC)
