I'll give this a shot. Looks very good already. An anonymous username, not my real name (talk) 22:01, 9 November 2022 (UTC)

General

• Can you maybe find better images? There are currently none of him during the campaign.
  • Unfortunately, I couldn't find any images on Wikimedia Commons that were of Harkin during the campaign.
• [1] This source describes his stance toward foreign policy as isolationist, while this one contests that claim. Both might be worth a mention. On a similar note, this source (admittedly from a bit before the campaign, but still relevant) states that he "proudly accepted the label of 'protectionist'".
  • Added references and edited article to include additional information.

Lead

• No issues here.

Background

• Again, nothing I would recommend changing.

Expressed interest

• Source 9 mentions that crime was one of the issues he wanted his party to work on. If you can find more on this, consider including it.
  • Edited article to make reference to crime.
• While the two journalists stated that his possible candidacy was "a long shot", he would most likely win that year's Iowa caucuses as a favorite son. I assume they stated both parts? It's worded confusingly.
  • Reworded to avoid confusion.

Campaign developments

• Going into January 1992, Harkin's fundraising had begun to slow down, and he was polling in the single digits in opinion polls held in New Hampshire. On the other hand, Clinton had continued to grow in popularity and fundraising. Connecting these as "[...] he was polling in the single digits in opinion polls held in New Hampshire, while Clinton had continued to grow in popularity and fundraising" might read better.
  • Combined the two sentences.

Aftermath

• Harkin would continue to serve in the Senate until retiring in 2015. It might be better to say "until his retirement in 2015".
  • Done.

Very few issues overall. There's nothing I would object to keeping the same if you really think it's best. This is quite an informative read. An anonymous username, not my real name (talk) 01:07, 10 November 2022 (UTC)
