[edit] Peer review request
Up for peer review rather quickly. Probably needs a copy edit to be sure. New information will be added as well, please peer review whatever is here at the time. Thanks.A mcmurray (talk • contribs) 15:40, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] GA pass
I have reviewed the article and found it to meet GA criteria. I do however have a few suggestions, that might help further improve the article. Firstly the sentance "The description in the 1909 Historical Encyclopedia of Illinois was somewhat more tame" just doesnt sit quite right with me, the tame is a bit too subjective. Secondly the historical chronology of the article ends with "The lynching of the Driscolls did not spell the end of the Regulators nor the Banditti, but it did serve to greatly decrease Banditti activity in Ogle County." So when did the Banditti activity finally cease, when was the last of them captured, killed or died of natural causes etc (or perhaps ive msised this?). Thirdly some of the sections just seem long, in that perhaps the information might be more concise e.g. do we need so much background? I dont think any of these points are worth placing on hold but rather need to be addressed if the article is to continue to improve beyond GA. Finally Im not sure I'd like to live in the Prairies.... Good work. LordHarris 23:50, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
