5x expanded by Carl Henderson (talk). Self-nominated at 04:59, 18 May 2015 (UTC).

• I know the subject matter is a bit boring, but would someone please take a look at this? The poor article has been sitting here alone and unloved for a month now. Carl Henderson (talk) 22:39, 17 June 2015 (UTC)

I'll claim this review. Abyssal (talk) 14:42, 18 June 2015 (UTC)

Thank you! Carl Henderson (talk) 21:44, 18 June 2015 (UTC)

• New enough. Long enough 4x expansion. I like the alt hook the best, but should it say "regional councils" plural and in lower case? Abyssal (talk) 15:20, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

• It should, but I was phrasing the hook so as to agree with the title of the article. But it's a minor change, I'm happy to make:
• ALT1a:... that more then 35,000 local governments in the US are served by 556 regional councils of governments? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Carl Henderson (talk • contribs) 21:00, 23 June 2015‎ (UTC)

• Abyssal, can you please check ALT1a? Also, please be sure to specify the rest of the review criteria you covered: you don't mention hook or article sourcing, neutrality, or close paraphrasing in your initial review. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 02:37, 28 June 2015 (UTC)

• I stopped when I encountered a problem, lol. I'll finish reviewing this Mon or Tues, I have to pull a twelve hour tomorrow. Abyssal (talk) 02:43, 28 June 2015 (UTC)

• Alt 1a looks good to go! Abyssal (talk) 00:45, 1 July 2015 (UTC)
