- Comment/Review:
- Article is new in main space, is long enough, clear and well written. It concerns a colonial era house once owned by an American patriot during the American Revolution, who also was one of two delegates from the county to the Virginia convention for ratification of the U.S. Constitution.
- The article is supported by references and citations and is within the policy guidelines. Hook is supported by the citation.

- I can accept the hook as written. I might change "plantation" to "colonial" and add the location. An alternative might be something like "... that Upper Wolfsnare] (pictured), built in Princess Anne County, Virginia in 1759, and home of an American Revolution Patriot and U.S. Constitution state convention delegate, is still lived in?" Citations support this alternative as well. I think the author of the article should decide whether something like this is more interesting or appropriate or whether it should stay as it is. The current hook is easily within the character limit and the characters that would be showing in my alternative would still make the cut-off. It's close, which is why I did not add the name of Thomas Walke, IV. Article and hook are neutral and do not mention living people.
- QPQ review listed.
- Unless the editor would care to change the hook in any way, I believe this is ready for promotion to the queue. I will place these comments on editor's talk page. Donner60 (talk) 04:38, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

- Agree alt1 is better. Added "a colonial home". Good idea. PumpkinSky talk 10:44, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
- Great. I think ALT1 is complete, meets all the criteria and is ready for promotion to the queue. Donner60 (talk) 21:26, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
