NPOV[edit]

The language of the article is incredibly biased and violates Wikipedia's NPOV policy. SpencerCS (talk) 04:16, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

So, I'm going to WP:BB; even though I agree that the claim was flimsy (or even beyond flimsy), that word is inherently POV & unencyclopedic. Also, how is this an orphan. It has considerable appropriate linkage for a sub-stub. 75.252.240.194 (talk) 03:37, 9 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy compliance:

Adequate sourcing: - The paragraph "Due to the U.S. Civil War..." is unreferenced.
Neutral:
Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook eligibility:

Cited:
Interesting:
Other problems: - Please bold the article when linked in the hook.

QPQ: None required.

Overall: Both hooks are good, though ALT1 is perhaps a bit more informative. King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 04:38, 16 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, King of Hearts. I think I've addressed both concerns now (graf source and hook bolding). If there are any other issues, please let me know. Thanks! Carter (Tcr25) (talk) 08:30, 16 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
