GA Review

[edit]

This review is transcluded from Talk:Jan Willem Spruyt/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

  • A nonfree image could be rationalised, if you have one.
    • Unfortunately as yet no image has been found for Spruyt.
  • Break the first paragraph into more than one sentence please...
    • Done.
  • "Most of his life he practised as law agent in private practice in both Boer republics, however." - this reads awkwardly, especially at the end of a paragraph... can you reword it?
    • Done.
  • The link to Oosterwolde is a dab page.
    • Changed.
  • "Later Spruyt did act as State President" - "acted" might sound better than "did act"
    • Changed.
  • Some of these subsections are really short, not sure if they're really necessary...
    • Changed.
  • "He he was allowed" - typo?
    • Corrected.

Photo available from [1]: information on the page has been corroborated by Kathleen May Landskroon Morrison, granddaughter of Jan Willem Spruyt through Catherine Jane Landskroon Spruyt her mother and youngest daughter of Jan Willem Spruyt. I was told by Kathleen May Landskroon Morrison (my aunt) that two of the brothers fought in the second South African War (Boer War) on opposite sides. I have no other evidence of this internal family conflict. H C Morrison (talk) 06:43, 26 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
