While it is good trivia, I'm not sure what relevance there is to pointing out Lincoln's familial relationship (citation?) to Tom Hanks. It might be relevant to point out that Hanks is related to Lincoln on Hanks page, but on Lincoln's it should maybe be a "fun fact". Just my opinion, I'll leave it to the experts (Doris Kearns Goodwin, where are you?) to sort out. Chris van Hasselt (talk) 14:29, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I am concerned that this article no longer meets the good article criteria. Some of my concerns are listed below:
At over 13,000 words, WP:TOOBIG suggests that some of the text should be reduced or spun out.
One of the reasons why it is large is the numerous large block quotes used in the article. I think these should be summarised, reduced, and/or removed.
The end of "Historical reputation" has a lot of random facts and quotes. I think this needs to be edited for things to be removed.
There is uncited text in the article, including citation needed tags from March 2024.
level-3 vital article is rated GA-class on Wikipedia's content assessment scale.
