There's really not supposed to be new information in the lead section; instead, it's supposed to be a summary of the entire article.
In the Early life section you say "this began the struggles of the Masonic University that continued until its closure two decades later." Is the relevant? If so, could you expand upon this to make it clearly exactly what you mean? What were the struggles about? Losing faculty? Affiliations with Civil War volunteers? What?
In the 1863 section "(Despite being Morgan's second-in-command, Colonel Duke was usually not told of all the espionage Hines was carrying out, causing some to believe that Hines and Duke did not like each other, which was not the case.)" probably does not need to be in parentheses.
In the 1863 section you say "It was Hines' reports that encouraged Morgan to be rough with anyone posing as a Confederate sympathizer in Indiana." Could you expand on this? What was in Hines' reports that caused Morgan to suspect Confederate sympathizers were actually spies?
In the "Escape" section you say "As Hines and the six others that would accompany Hines and John Hunt Morgan, a thin crust was left to hide the tunneling from the prison officials." It may just be me, but this doesn't make sense.
In the Post-war section you say "twelve buckshot". Should this be twelve-gauge buckshot?
OK, I know this is picky, but on the map graphic you can see the text of the page behind the map. Is there any way to correct this? It's not a huge deal, but it would be nice...
Not any time soon. I'd either have to go 100 miles, or wait two-three weeks getting the book back. (I lost my copy of my thesis, which the map came from, so I had to take pictures of every page to get a copy of it, as I couldn't take it from the library). By the time I go for FA for this article, it will be corrected.--King Bedford I20:26, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
Sigh...I suppose... *grin* OK, no big deal.
Is there a reason that it's important that the picture in the Northwest Conspiracy section was taken for his wife? Could you say "A picture of Thomas Hines, taken while he was in Canada" or something approximate to this?
I reworded slightly; feel free to change it back if you don't like it.
Overall:
Pass/Fail:
Overall a good article, although not quite yet a Good Article. I am putting the article on hold in order to allow you time to address the concerns above. If you have any questions, you can ask them here or on my talk page. Dana boomer (talk) 18:50, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
