Hi Topshelver, review follows: article created 6 November and exceeds minimum length; article is well written and cited inline throughout; hook fact is interesting, mentioned in the article and checks out to sources cited; A QPQ has been carried out. A few minor points:
I am not familiar with blackpast.org but is seems to be cited a fair bit in books on Google, so happy to AGF it is reliable.
There shouldn't really be information in the lead that is not in the main body (see WP:LEAD), any chance of moving or copying this below?
The sentence "is the last architectural remnant of the village of Hinsonville, a free Black community" is lifted direct from the source and could do with rewording.
The marker is on the old US Route 1 (Baltimore Pike), the current US Route 1 (Kennett Oxford Bypass) is some way to the north.
The coordinate is about 250m west of the actual location

Nothing major and will be happy to approve once the above looked at - Dumelow (talk) 15:15, 8 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Dumelow, I think I've been able to address these points. Please let me know if you spot any other necessary adjustments. Topshelver (talk) 21:07, 8 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
