Review of revision 1041055 [Passed]

Quotations in headline
Very minor, but since this is an American focused article, shouldn't the US-English preferred double quotation marks be used over the single quotation marks? It is used in the body of the article, so perhaps the headline should reflect it as well. Either way (talk) 13:45, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
 * No, because then if other organizations quote the entire title, it will appear as double double quotations. We should always use single quotations in headlines, not double. -- Cirt (talk) 17:15, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

Not only does Dewey defeat Truman, but November 3 comes before November 2
The article says:


 * "Dewey Defeats Truman" was an erroneous front-page headline by the newspaper  published November 3, 1948, a day before U.S.  won the  against New York.

Clearly either "A day before" was meant to start a new sentence and be set off by a comma, or else it was meant to read "a day after". --50.100.193.107 (talk)
 * Or, "was confirmed as the winner". The word-choice could've been better, but an appropriate 'dab' currently eludes me. --Brian McNeil / talk 13:39, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
