New article, 2854 B (483 words) "readable prose size", image is clearly PD-US, properly captioned. Prose looks good, although I don't have the books, so I'd be an AGF tick (the blue one). My one concern is that the prompt seems wrong somehow. I'd like a second opinion as to whether it needs a comma after Alabama or not. It'd also be nice to add in that the poet laureate position was created just for him. Sven Manguard Wha? 23:21, 26 November 2013 (UTC)

- Offering this alternative based on above suggestions: 'ALT 1 ... that Samuel Minturn Peck (pictured) was the first Poet Laureate of Alabama, a title created for him, from 1930 until his death in 1938? --Midnightdreary (talk) 17:14, 28 November 2013 (UTC)
- I like this one much better than the first. Sven Manguard Wha? 18:00, 28 November 2013 (UTC)
