Hi Muboshgu, review follows: article moved to mainspace 6 September and exceeds minimum length; article is well written and cited inline throughout to reliable sources; I didn't pick up on any overly close paraphrasing in a check on the sources; hook is interesting, mentioned in the article and checks out to source cited; QPQ has been carried out. Two very minor points, you have no citation for his birth year or membership of the Democratic Party - Dumelow (talk) 07:46, 7 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Dumelow, birth year is present in the Amistad Research Center external link. I've seen the specific date of birth given as November 2 but have to doublecheck that today. Seems unlikely to be challenged and requiring an inline citation. The "factions" source talks about his Democratic Party involvement. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:56, 7 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Muboshgu, I've reffed both these to the sources you indicate. Looks fine now - Dumelow (talk) 18:05, 7 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
