QPQ: 
- Not done
Overall: 
Nice work on these two articles Pbritti. I can approve this nomination after you do two QPQs. Epicgenius (talk) 14:55, 9 February 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you for you patience on the QPQs, Epicgenius. They are now done with one pending comment from the nominator. If you have a moment, I would appreciate you maybe looking at the below ALT, as I'm worried that the "it" in the original hook is grammatically unsound. I prefer the original–it spares us the double "his" and is contextually self-evident–but I figured I should at least mention it.
- ALT1: ... that in 1785, at age 24, James Freeman (pictured) convinced his congregation to adopt his revised prayer book, contributing to King's Chapel becoming the first Unitarian congregation in the United States?
- Thank you! ~ Pbritti (talk) 17:17, 9 February 2023 (UTC)
Thanks for the response. I think ALT1 is better, so I'll approve that hook. I'll strike ALT0, because I agree with you - "it" can refer to the book instead of the chapel. Epicgenius (talk) 18:11, 9 February 2023 (UTC)
