@Gwillhickers: New enough and long enough. QPQ present. The hook is cited to and included in the source; I did some needed copyediting. One thing needs resolution before this nomination can continue: there is an uncited and partially redundant paragraph: "In 1813, Joseph Marie married Eulalie Alverez Horitz. Their son, Joseph LaBarge, was the second oldest of seven children in the family. " Also, it and the next paragraph disagree on the spelling of his wife's last name. Is this an issue with the sources or just an editing error? Raymie (t • c) 18:44, 2 September 2019 (UTC)
- @Raymie: I removed the redundant sentence and corrected the spelling to 'Alvarez', used in the source. I also rewrote and cited the sentence about the children-- Gwillhickers (talk) 19:19, 2 September 2019 (UTC)
We're good then, though I do see "Hortiz" versus "Horitz" still in that paragraph. Raymie (t • c) 19:21, 2 September 2019 (UTC)
Fixed the typo. Thanks for your review and help. -- Gwillhickers (talk) 20:38, 2 September 2019 (UTC)
