I shall be reviewing this article against the Good Article criteria, following its nomination for Good Article status.
Checking against GA criteria
[edit]- It is reasonably well written.
- a (prose):
b (MoS):
- I made various copy-edits for style, clarification and grammar.
Marriage and family, early legal and business career: In 1960, Lindner and Keating created American Financial Corporation, a holding company of these disparate businesses that create further subsidiaries and financial instruments, all doing business with each other To which companies is the phrase these disparate businesses referring?- Now clarified to indicate that these were Lindner's existing businesses.
Anti-pornography crusading: n 1956, Keating joined a priest leading a group of Catholic men in Cincinnati ... Do we have a name for the priest?- From what I remember, the source doesn't give a name; it wasn't anyone of particular note.
American Financial Corporation: While formally an outside lawyer, ... Plesae rephrase in clear English.- Modified, see next response.
- '
'Keating left his law practice in 1972 and explicitly joined American Financial Corporation, ... explicitly?- Keating went from being a lawyer for an outside law firm but with a very tight relationship with AFC, to actually working for AFC. I've tweaked the wording to try and make this clearer.
Lincoln Savings and the Keating Five: In 1984, American Continental Corporation bought Lincoln Savings and Loan Association. Orphan sentence.- Merged into the next paragraph.
... and getting President Ronald Reagan to make a recess appointment of a Keating ally to the FHLBB. Do we have a name for the ally, it seems mysterious to not mention the name.- Name has now been added.
... the new head was more sympathetic to Keating and took no near-term action. Can you explain "near-term action"?- I've modified this text, and added text to the following section, to give a much more specific description of what happened on the regulatory front after the FHLBB person in charge change.

- No edit wars, etc.:
- No edit wars, etc.:
- It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
- a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
- Can we find no PD or CC licensed photos, eg prison mug shot? Not essential for GA, just a comment?
- I've looked several times, have never found a usable image. Keating was camera-shy, and most of the photos on the web of him are wire service ones from his early 1990s trials that WP can't use.
- Can we find no PD or CC licensed photos, eg prison mug shot? Not essential for GA, just a comment?
