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)
