Peer Review

I believe the work done so far has been excellent. There is a neutral tone and the content is concise and relevant. A particular favorite addition was the paragraph under the Background section, for it added further perspective to the purpose of the newspaper. The main edits I would advise is in the Samuel Cornish section, I'd omit that "Samuel Cornish was a founder and coeditor of Freedom's Journal," in the first sentence, for it is redundant with it being mentioned towards the end of the paragraph. Additionally, if possible, add a citation at the end of the Lead paragraph for the information. Lastly, there is a consistency in information of who founded the newspaper, for the Lead states Rev. John Wilk, while the Background section states that it was Peter Williams. Keep up the amazing work! Btymoniewicz (talk) 19:10, 19 November 2020 (UTC)Reply
