I'll be glad to take this review. At first glance it looks pretty solid. I'll start with a close readthrough, noting any issues here I can't immediately fix, and then turn to the criteria checklist. Thanks in advance for your work on this one! -- Khazar2 ( talk) 16:12, 23 January 2013 (UTC)
This looks good on my first pass, and I think it's close to Good Article status. There are a few issues that could be addressed, though, most having to do with adding more context for the various military engagements, but also with WP:WTA and the lack of an image.
Once you've had a chance to respond to the above, we can move on to the checklist. Thanks again for your work! -- Khazar2 ( talk) 16:42, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

1. Well-written: | ||
1a. the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct. | Prose is good, and spotchecks show no evidence of copyright issues. | |
1b. it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation. | ||
2. Verifiable with no original research: | ||
2a. it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline. | ||
2b. reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose). | ||
2c. it contains no original research. | ||
3. Broad in its coverage: | ||
3a. it addresses the main aspects of the topic. | ||
3b. it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style). | ||
4. Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each. | ||
5. Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute. | ||
6. Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio: | ||
6a. media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content. | ||
6b. media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions. | ||
7. Overall assessment. |
Looking at the North Carolina historical marker, it states that "For almost ten years, beginning in 1750, Innes served on the Councils of Governor Johnston and his successor Arthur Dobbs. Also on the Council was Francis Corbin with whom Innes served from 1751 to 1754 as a Granville agent. Innes’s plantation, known as "Point Pleasant," was north of Wilmington in a sharp bend of the Northeast River."
The plantation name is a bit of trivia that might be worth adding, but the main thing that concerns me is adding his Council service; "active in colonial government" almost covers it, but it would be good to mention he held this post. (Probably add it to the lead, too.) What do you think? -- Khazar2 ( talk) 04:28, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
