James Parker (publisher)[edit]
- ... that James Parker was considered a better printer than William Bradford or Benjamin Franklin in the American Thirteen Colonies in his day?

Good to go, except for one suggestion to the author. My only comment is about the hook. It is adequately cited, but it is by no means the most interesting thing about this man, who had an interesting and adventurous life. For example ... that Benjamin Franklin persuaded his apprentice James Parker, a runaway indentured servant, to return to his master and serve out his indenture? Otherwise the article is plenty long enough; no copyvios found; nominated timely; QPQ done with appropriate thoroughness. Think about it, and if you prefer to stick with your original hook I will change the icon to "approved". --MelanieN (talk) 02:10, 27 November 2013 (UTC)
- Alt1 - ... that James Parker established the first newspaper in the colony of Connecticut and New Jersey?
- Alt2 - ... that James Parker was the general manager of the first public library in New York City?
- Alt3 - ... that Benjamin Franklin persuaded his apprentice James Parker, a runaway indentured servant, to return to his master and serve out his indenture?
- My preference of order: 1) original hook; Alt1; Alt2; Alt3 = your choice.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 12:06, 27 November 2013 (UTC)
