---|---|---|
1. Well-written: | ||
1a. the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct. | Prose needs some work, notes below | |
1b. it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation. | Solid looking article, well laid out | |
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). | Sources appear reliable, need to AGF for a few not viewable online. | |
2c. it contains no original research. | Appears solid, some sources not available online, so AGF | |
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. | NPOV met | |
5. Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute. | No problems here | |
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. | Images check out at GA level, one jpg with questionable status replaced with identical .png with proper attribution. | |
6b. media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions. |

Comments by reviewer: There are a few things I'd like to see fixed before I pass this article. It overall is pretty nice, but here are my concerns:
Montanabw (talk) 18:58, 10 January 2013 (UTC)Jonathan T. Leete had once captained the schooner Reaper, crewed by his friend John Canoe, nicknamed "Jackalow," short for or "John Low" or "John Lord." (cites) Canoe was of East Asian origin (cites). Jonathan gave up command of the Reaper (in year 18__), and both men went to work on the farm of Jonathan's father, Daniel Brown Leete, on Sachem's Head in Guilford, Connecticut, where Jackalow was regarded as family.[7] At some point, in New York, Jackalow had stolen $100 from Jonathan and fled to New Haven, only to be returned to New York by the police.[8][9] Jonathan refused to testify against Jackalow and rehired him.[8] Later (specific year would be good if you have it) Jonathan and his brother, Elijah J. Leete, bought the 30-ton sloop Spray, funded in part by a mortgage their father took out on his farm.[9] Jonathan captained, and along with Elijah and Jackalow sailed the Spray together for two or three years.[9]
More to come.
Images work, the one of the house may need further verification of pre-1923 publication date if you take this to FA, but otherwise all is fine. The .ppg version of the Ryukyu islands had an iffy tag on it in commons, but it cross-referenced an identical .png with the proper tag, so I boldly swapped the two images. I hope to hear from you soon on the prose editing issues, as I can't quite pass it as is, but I'd prefer not to give it the "on hold" hammer, either. I left a message on the talk page of the primary editor, I hope someone will respond. Montanabw (talk) 22:31, 15 January 2013 (UTC)
