Hello, I am planning on reviewing this article for GA Status, over the next couple of days. Thank you for nominating the article for GA status. I hope I will learn some new information, and that my feedback is helpful.

If nominators or editors could refrain from updating the particular section that I am updating until it is complete, I would appreciate it to remove a edit conflict. Please address concerns in the section that has been completed above (If I've raised concerns up to references, feel free to comment on things like the lede.)

I generally provide an overview of things I read through the article on a first glance. Then do a thorough sweep of the article after the feedback is addressed. After this, I will present the pass/failure. I may use strikethrough tags when concerns are met. Even if something is obvious why my concern is met, please leave a message as courtesy.

Best of luck! you can also use the {{done}} tag to state when something is addressed. Lee Vilenski (talkcontribs)

Please let me know after the review is done, if you were happy with the review! Obviously this is regarding the article's quality, however, I want to be happy and civil to all, so let me know if I have done a good job, regardless of the article's outcome.

Immediate Failures edit

  • It is a long way from meeting any one of the six good article criteria -
  • It contains copyright infringements -
  • It has, or needs, cleanup banners that are unquestionably still valid. These include{{cleanup}}, {{POV}}, {{unreferenced}} or large numbers of {{citation needed}}, {{clarify}}, or similar tags. (See also {{QF-tags}}). -
  • It is not stable due to edit warring on the page. -

Links edit

Prose edit

Lede edit



  • The house is also noteworthy because of its unique architectural design - fluff. We shouldn't be telling the user what is notable. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talkcontribs) 10:29, 11 March 2021 (UTC)Reply



  • Lede seems a little short. The actual bit of importance is the overhearing on the army plans, so I'd start with that. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talkcontribs) 10:29, 11 March 2021 (UTC)Reply


General edit


  • The infobox seems a bit bare to me, do they usually look like that? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talkcontribs) 12:36, 11 March 2021 (UTC)Reply



  • The house is notable as the residency of Quaker Lydia Darragh, a Patriot spy. - yeah, there are much better ways to say that. same as lede. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talkcontribs) 12:36, 11 March 2021 (UTC)Reply


  • One version of the historical record, which matches that told by her daughter Ann - is there a second version of the record? What type of record is this? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talkcontribs) 12:36, 11 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
