- Sorry about this - I'm on the road with my husband in the semi-truck and I thought I'd be in a stretch of decent roads and ... we got shifted so it took longer than I expected to get to this. Doing it now. -- Ealdgyth (talk) 02:00, 28 January 2021 (UTC)

- Lead:
"In his short time in office, Philpott was a key ally in the legislature for Governor Terry Sanford." which office - representative or lt. gov?- Lt Gov, clarified.
- Local offices:
- "He later attributed his involvement in the body to spurring his interest in politics." this reads awkwardly to me... maybe He later attributed his his interest in politics to his time on the school board."?
- Done.

- Legislative career?
- "those on Agriculture, Education, Roads and Highway Safety, Appropriations, and Finance" I'm not sure we should be capitalizing these? I think if it was "Agriculture Committee" it would be but I'm not as sure if they should be in this instance. I'm not positive on this however, we might want to enlist a MOS-maven for advice?
- Those indeed were the name of the committees (without "Commitee" in them). You'll often find news articles from this era refer to the committees in shorthand by listing their official domain without appending "Committee" at the end, and they will capitalize them.
"On June 21, 1955 Governor Luther H. Hodges added Philpott to the North Carolina Advisory Committee on Education—commonly dubbed the Pearsall Committee after its chairman, Thomas J. Pearsall—which was to create the state's response to the United States Supreme Court's decision in Brown v. Board of Education to mandate the racial integration of public schools." taht is one LONG sentence - suggest breakign it up "On June 21, 1955 Governor Luther H. Hodges added Philpott to the North Carolina Advisory Committee on Education—commonly dubbed the Pearsall Committee after its chairman, Thomas J. Pearsall. The comimittee's job was to create the state's response to the United States Supreme Court's decision in Brown v. Board of Education mandating the racial integration of public schools."- Done.
Do we have any recent historical analysis of his position on integration?- Nope. I've tried finding more material on this but Philpott's full opinion on segregation, public or private, remains illusive. I would like to think he fell into the "pragmatic segregationist" crowd, considering his otherwise "progressive" beliefs, though his support of the resolution to condemn the Supreme Court is rather confrontational.
- Yeah, I figured you'd been thorough but didn't hurt to double check. Ealdgyth (talk) 02:53, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

- Lt. Gov.
"average income of state residents to match the level with of the national earnings average" I think you mean "average income of state residents to match the national earnings average."?- Done.
Did anything come of the discussions about the succession after Philpott's death?- Nothing immediately. It appears the order of succession was expanded upon with the 1971 constitution to include more officials in case of a double vacancy, but I've found no literature explaining why this was done.
- Never hurts to double check (and I was curious too). Ealdgyth (talk) 02:53, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

- Sources:
Not required, but all the "works cited" give location except the Batchelor and the Eamon sources... again, not required but it wouldn't hurt to make it consistent. If you're planning on going to FAC with this article, it would be needed.- Done.
- I randomly googled three phrases and only turned up Wikipedia mirrors. Earwig's tool no copyright concerns.
- I did do some copyediting, please make sure I didn't change any sourced text beyond what the sources will support or that I haven't broken anything.
- I've put the article on hold for seven days to allow folks to address the issues I've brought up. Feel free to contact me on my talk page, or here with any concerns, and let me know one of those places when the issues have been addressed. If I may suggest that you strike out, check mark, or otherwise mark the items I've detailed, that will make it possible for me to see what's been addressed, and you can keep track of what's been done and what still needs to be worked on.
