    Pass/Fail:

Infobox

[edit]
  • The image caption needs to be expanded from just "1863"

Lead

[edit]
  • The lead is on the short side. Consider expanding it with relevant summarized information from the article body

Early life and education

[edit]
  • Do we have any information about his parents and what they did?
  • Also I cannot see any information about his education despite the section includes the word "education".

Business career

[edit]
  • Wikilink Lake Superior on the first mention
  • "On his return trip to New York City that fall," - avoid the use of seasons per MOS:SEASON
  • "to get copper ore samples." - to obtain samples of copper ore.
  • "he met Horace Greeley of the New-York Tribune." - what was the meeting about?
  • "when took a job in July " - when he took
  • "winter of 1848–1849." - 1848 to 1849.
  • "Lewis started the Port Huron Commercial newspaper in 1851[1]" - a comma is missing between "1851" and the citation
  • "and then sold it to the Saginaw Enterprise Publishing Company." - and he subsequently

Personal life

[edit]
  • The final two paragraphs should be merged together to avoid having stubby one-line paragraphs
  • "Lewis died May 30, 1890." - died on May 30
  • Also, please date where Lewis died and what he died from (if the information is available)

Will put the review on hold to allow the nominator to address or query the points raised above. MWright96 (talk) 18:49, 5 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
