  • @Eddie891: I am in the process of reviewing this. For a start, the Everett report has two quotes that I noticed with errors; one is the misspelling of "Iroquois" in the lead and the other is the repeated mention of the "treaty of 1784" in the report's conclusion. I assume that both these errors were not in the source? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 12:41, 24 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thanks. These three articles are new enough and long enough. The articles are neutral, and I detected no copyright issues. Three QPQs have been done. I don't think either of the hooks is completely satisfactory; the first is not really accurate, and the second needs to mention Stillman differently. She was a researcher and stenographer and not part of the commission, even if she was responsible for drafting much of the text, she would not have been a signatory. The findings were inconvenient for the New York State Assembly, so it is perhaps unsurprising that they refused to accept it and it got buried instead.
