... that William Rittenhouse is noted for having established the first paper mill in North America in 1690? — Sources: Weeks, 1916, p. 2; Cassell, 1938, p. 7; Wroth, 1938, pp. 124, 127

5x expanded by Gwillhickers (talk). Self-nominated at 00:05, 1 February 2022 (UTC).[reply]

5× expansion of 24 November 2021‎ version completed from 1,196 characters to 6,736 and nominated two days later. No copyvios detected and duplication detector of online source[1] reveal no close paraphrasing issues (allowing for WP:LIMITED; AGF sources which can't go through Dup detector). Article is well-sourced (but should have a ref at the end of first paragraph of "Early life" section). Hook is 103 characters long (under 200 character max.) and is interesting. Refs 3–6 (verifying the hook) are reliable sources (AGF ref 6 – limited preview). Only QPQ needs to be completed. —Bloom6132 (talk) 02:39, 1 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Bloom6132: — QPQ completed. I've cited the paragraph in question. It was cited before but during editing I split it, leaving no cite at the final sentence. Thanks for AGF. -- Gwillhickers (talk) 00:55, 2 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

QPQ done. Paragraph in question now cited. Looks good to go! —Bloom6132 (talk) 02:28, 2 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
