Starting review. Zeete (talk) 12:26, 16 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

New, long enough (over 3,500 per DYK check), cited, neutral, Earwig reported ok (8.3%), QPQ done, hook interesting, length checked ok, cited.
Needs projects on its talk page to confirm "start-class", including New Jersey. Perhaps an Andrew Marvel redirect for Goddard's assumed name. Note, Long Pond Ironworks State Park refers to Peter Hasenclever (spelling).

Good to go. Thanks, Zeete (talk) 12:55, 16 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Invalid link?

The "...the fictitious printer and publisher, Andrew Marvel" seems to be linked to "Andrew Marvell, English metaphysical poet, satirist and politician who sat in the House of Commons at various times between 1659 and 1678." Seems unlikely to be the same person, although if they were never seen together ...... Gwladys24 (talk) 16:18, 2 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
