Picking this one up. Review to follow after the bot kicks in. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 20:54, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

An expertly crafted article by an experienced editor writing on an esoteric subject. I could just pass it as is, but some minor stuff to prove for the record that I did read it, and since it is probably bound for FAC.

• Could not find any spelling errors or duplicate links
• "Dr. Frank A. Vizetelly" We don't normally use academic titles (MOS:DR)

In this case, the legislature was using him as an expert and so I'm trying to show why he was (in their view) qualified.

• Source review:
  • Provide access dates for the URLs. This will help the archive bot if the links decay.
  • Consider adding a via=newspapers.com cards
  • Do not abbreviate New Jersey (MOS:ACRO)
  • Where the name of the newspaper does not include the location, we normally add a location card to the reference. (WP:CITE)
  • Any reason why The Evening Courier is the only redlinked newspaper?

I think I've gotten everything. Thanks for taking this on.--Wehwalt (talk) 17:27, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

Still curious as to what motivated you to take it on. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 19:28, 2 December 2022 (UTC)
