Virginia debt case

• Per MOS:LARGENUM, the significant sums described in this section should be rounded, as it doesn't appear that there's any significant reason to include the exact dollar and cent amounts

References

• [17] and [20] are not duplicate refs but appear to be from a first glance; I'd recommend adding 1911 and 1914 in parentheses to distinguish
• Per MOS:ALLCAPS, both of those refs should also be rendered in title case and not all caps

• Added 1911 and 1914 in parentheses to distinguish, and removed all caps. -- West Virginian (talk) 16:37, 5 February 2022 (UTC)
