It is reasonably well written.

a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR): d (copyvio and plagiarism):
It is broad in its coverage.

It follows the neutral point of view policy.

It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:
It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Overall:
Pass/Fail:

Lead needs expanded.
- Expanded.
Changed cat 1800s births to 19th century births. 1800s is for the decade.
"taking the offices of Jacob Moore" What's that mean?
- I'm not completely sure – removed that part.
What's a Levy Court?
- Added a note – it was the county government.
"He joined the Sussex County bar" put "as well" after bar. I think that is needed there to show that was happening at the same time as the Levy Court thing. Otherwise, readers will think it is out of order.
- Added.
"Delaware Constitutional Convention of 1896–97" Is there a link for any of that?
- There should be, but no one has written an article for it... (on my long-term to-do list)
I'm confused. The infobox says 1905 to 1909 but the article says he was ousted in 1909??
- He was ousted as Union Republican chairman, not as Secretary of State – any suggestions on how to clarify it better?
  - "ousted as chairman"
"After having served as Secretary of State for four years, he retired" Who retired? Cahall or Bennett??
- Cahall – changed.

That's all I think. Excellent research on this. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 05:55, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
