@Ealdgyth: Any word on this? Sorry to bug. Generalissima (talk) 18:27, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

Probably tomorrow or Monday - husband was unexpectedly home for this last week so spent more time with him... Ealdgyth (talk) 20:39, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

Aww, that's very sweet! No worries, I was just checking in. Generalissima (talk) 21:07, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

   No edit wars, etc.:

6. It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free content have non-free use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

• I randomly googled three phrases and only turned up Wikipedia mirrors. Earwig's tool shows no sign of copyright violation.
• Spotchecks:
  • "Historical records indicate that St. Germain was married to a Métis woman named Lizette Sutherland, but no year of marriage is noted." is sourced to this source which supports the information
  • "Unable to live off the land due to winter conditions, 11 out of the 20 members of the expedition died before they could be rescued by hunters under the leadership of Akaitcho." is sourced to this source which supports the information
  • "The party turned east, charting several hundred kilometers of the Arctic coastline. Halting at Point Turnagain in late August, Franklin opted for the expedition to return via the Hood River." is sourced to this source which supports the information
• Lead:
  • "he settled in the Red River Colony in what is now Winnipeg." suggest "he settled in the Red River Colony at what is now Winnipeg."
    • Fixed. - G
• Early life:
  • "Historical records indicate that St. Germain was married to a Métis woman named" suggest we make it clear that the St Germain married to Lizette is the subject of the article, not the last mentioned St Germain who possibly was the subject's father.
    • Fixed. - G
• Coppermine expedition:
  • "They returned together to Fort Enterprise" is "together" St Germain and Wentzel or St Germain, Wentzel, and the two Inuit interpreters?
    • All four, clarified this. - G
• Later career:
  • conversion for "50 acres" into metric?
    • Done. -G
  • Can we name his children, since we mention them later?
    • Okay! - G
• Later life:
  • "Pierre's son Joseph married Marie Anne Plamondon." ... this is oddly placed - do we really need to know this? If you want the caption cited, just put it there, its okay to put a citation in a caption
    • Yeah, that's fair enough. - G

I've put the article on hold for seven days to allow folks to address the issues I've brought up. Feel free to contact me on my talk page, or here with any concerns, and let me know one of those places when the issues have been addressed. If I may suggest that you strike out, check mark, or otherwise mark the items I've detailed, that will make it possible for me to see what's been addressed, and you can keep track of what's been done and what still needs to be worked on.

• @Ealdgyth: Okie-dokie. That should be all the fixes. Generalissima (talk) 21:40, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

• Looks good, passing this now. Ealdgyth (talk) 13:59, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
