  •    Not required, but would be nice.

Copyvio edit

Stability edit

Ref check edit

  •  N This partnership continued until the retirement of both parties from active law practice in 1897 How can this be cited to the Cyclopedia of Michigan published in 1890?

  •  N There were accounts of men walking all the way to Traverse City (over 50 miles) just to get a document that would get them out of the Manistee County jail. Don't see this in the Cyclopedia anywhere.
  •   Done Replaced Ref # 4 with - City of Manistee, Michigan. City of Manistee, Manistee Commercial Historic District Survey Report (Report). Manistee Commercial Historic District. p. 24. "There are accounts of men walking to Traverse City to get a document which would release them from the Manistee County jail."


  •  N The wooden bridge was destroyed in the Great Fire of 1871. Cannot find this in the Cyclopedia.


  •    Was he actually a Kentucky Colonel, or did he just have the personality of one?
  •   Done In Personal life section - Ramsdell had the personality of the Kentucky Colonel type--Doug Coldwell (talk) 21:57, 25 March 2021 (UTC)Reply


  •    Could do with a little more about the Ramsdell Theater (from current Ref 6, "Learn about Ramsdell theatre history"), square footage, cost, fancy curtains, current use, etc)
  •   Done Added hatnote for "Main article: Ramsdell Theatre" --Doug Coldwell (talk) 22:02, 25 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

Media edit

  • Lol, I didn't think you would get around to it before I was finished doing the first pass of the review... I will try to haul ass on the rest of this! jp×g 22:30, 25 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
  • @Doug Coldwell: Okay, I have finished copyediting now, all issues have been resolved, except for the Kentucky Colonel thing. Is there a source that says he was one, or what? I see the article used to be in the category of them. Clarification would be helpful. jp×g 22:42, 25 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
