Prof D response
[edit]Great ideas! Try not to be too ambitious. You want to improve the page, but you will not need to add large quantities of information. It looks like you have targeted the right areas!
I'm glad to see you've started a bibliography in your sandbox. That's a good strategy. Start fleshing out your ideas for editing/revision as well. If you see a minor edit (fixing a link, correcting a typo or writing mistake), go ahead and fix it on the live page. If you want to do a major revision to a section, copy it into your Sandbox and do the revision. You'll also draft new content in the Sandbox. Remember to include citations. We'll be moving the Sandbox material into the live article a little later.

[edit]Cemeteries
[edit]African American Cemetery.
[edit]Dating back to the mid-late 19th century, the cemetery was where the slaves and freed blacks of New London would bury their deceased loved ones. The cemetery is currently overseen and maintained by Deloris Nash Hicks, a direct descendant of those buried there. Current efforts are being made to clean up the historic cemetery and to bring its burial grounds back to life.[1]
Callaway-Steptoe Cemetery
[edit]The Callaway-Steptoe Cemetery, located on the property of Federal Hill in Forest, Virginia,[2] serves as the final resting place for several prominent area settlers and their descendants including Col. William Callaway as well as his son-in-law James Steptoe. This cemetery was also the location of a skirmish that took place between Union and Confederate forces during the American Civil War. Evidence of the skirmish can still be seen today with holes in the walls surrounding the cemetery from cannonball fire.[3]
