I have completed my attempt to respond to review items. My thanks again for the GA review of Adams - I believe all efforts have brought significant improvement. Hoppyh (talk) 19:40, 25 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Infobox
Keep his birth location simple by just using modern location, which is Quincy, Massachusetts
If I'm going to be honest, it doesn't make sense to list some children's names and not others
"When he was presented to his former sovereign, George III, the King intimated that he was aware of Adams' lack of confidence in the French government. Adams admitted this, stating: 'I must avow to your Majesty that I have no attachment but to my own country.'" is unreferenced
"Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom referred to this episode on July 7, 1976, at the White House. She said"..... overkill, just go with Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom later recalled
"They returned to the United States in 1788 aboard the Lucretia; the Adams' home in England, a house off London's Grosvenor Square, still stands and is commemorated by a plaque" needs a citation
"start of the first vice presidential term; however, Congress" → "start of the first vice presidential term, though Congress"
I would note that Washington officially was sworn in on April 30, 1789
"He was reelected Vice President in 1792" and "Washington seldom asked Adams for input on policy and legal issues during his tenure as vice president" should be separate sentences, not divided by a semicolon
"On at least one occasion, he persuaded senators to vote against legislation that he opposed, and he frequently lectured the Senate on procedural and policy matters. Adams' political views and his attempt to assume a more active role in the Senate made him a natural target for critics of the Washington administration. Toward the end of his first term, as a result of a threatened resolution that would have silenced him except for procedural and policy matters, he began to exercise more restraint. When the nation's first two opposing political parties formed, he joined the Federalist Party, but never got on well with its dominant leader Alexander Hamilton." is uncited
"frustrating experiences for a man of his vigor, intellect, and vanity"...... keep it simple and just say "frustrating experiences for him"
"Sixteen months before John Adams' death, his son, John Quincy Adams, became the sixth president of the United States (1825–1829), the only son to succeed father the until George W. Bush in 2001" is missing a citation
"Astonishingly, on Tuesday, July 4, 1826"..... I'm not sure if "astonishingly" is encyclopedic, and the day of week is unnecessary detail, so just go with "On July 4, 1826".
"Relatives who were at his bedside reported that his last words were 'Jefferson survives'; news of Jefferson's death earlier that day did not reach Boston until after Adams' death. Adams and Jefferson are the only two Presidents to die on the same day; their deaths left Charles Carroll as the last surviving signer of the Declaration" is unnecessary detail
"its graceful prose" is completely biased and unnecessary
"In 2001, the popular historian David McCullough published a large biography, also entitled John Adams, that won various awards and general acclaim. McCullough's biography was the basis for a 2008 TV miniseries, in which Paul Giamatti portrayed John Adams. Finance writer James Grant published John Adams, Party of One in 2005." needs to be cited, and no need for "popular"
This isn't really needed when the majority of the people listed don't even have their own articles, and any mention of prominent ancestors is better for article prose.
