John Watts de Peyster

This article was apparently began as a "throw away" by another editor who was covering the boot monument. I've tried to add as much as possible. I'd love some feedback on what further direction (if any) I should take, and what should be done to get this to GA class at least. I would love as much feedback as possible, I own many of the reference materials I cited. MrPrada 03:22, 30 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This is very nice, overall. A few suggestions:

The lead could stand to be lengthened; two or three full paragraphs is basically the expected standard now.
~~"THE DECISIVE CONFLICTS OF THE LATE CIVIL WAR, OR SLAVEHOLDERS REBELLION" doesn't need to be given in all-caps; we aren't bound to the typographical conventions of nineteenth-century printers.~~
~~The "See also" section should be eliminated; the only term there is already linked in the text.~~
The ACW template at the bottom is rather excessively large, particularly given that Peyster isn't even linked from it. I'd suggest replacing it with {{portal|American Civil War}}, which will provide the same content one link removed.
