I was in the middle of reviewing this nomination and then lost my internet connection. I'm just making my place right now so nobody else has to duplicate my efforts. I'll post my review once my internet connection comes back. Hopefully later today.Dugan Murphy (talk) 21:54, 5 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
Overall: @Gwillhickers: I recommend removing the phrase "after he died" from the hook. I believe that would make it easier to read and more compelling. But I'd say this nomination is good to go whether or not my recommendation is accepted. Dugan Murphy (talk) 17:32, 6 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
Gwillhickers, I'm wondering if a moderate revision of your hook to read:
... that after he died, American Revolutionary War General and physician William Irvine was buried three different times at three different locations?
would be okay with you? I think that might help it to read a bit more clearly. MeegsC (talk) 21:25, 14 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
