I'll review this. BeanieFan11 (talk) 01:51, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Nice work. Some minor issues. First, should the hook specify that it is the first racially integrated public housing development to match what the sources say? Also, in J. Lister Holmes, I read In 1940, he was tasked by the Seattle Housing Authority to serve as the chief architect of the Yesler Terrace development, the first public housing development in the United States. That doesn't sound right, given that the hook is referring to it as the first racially-integrated one? Clear these two things up and it should be good to go.

@BeanieFan11: oops! Thank you for catching the typo on Holmes and good fix with the hook. Corrected on both counts. Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 16:16, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Personal life

In 1931, Jacobsen married Priscilla Chase in Peterborough, New Hampshire. They had twin daughters before Priscilla's death in California in 1942., would it be more appropriate to use "Chase" rather than "Priscilla"?
- Well she wouldn't be named Chase anymore, would she? - G
