Mention in the lead the NPS management

Done

Recommend adding a couple sentences to the history about Cone's history as a textile entreprenuer

Done

"There was a five acre lawn" - use the convert template to also produce a value in ha for this

Done

"It then passed to the Cone Memorial Hospital in Greensboro" - link that to Moses H. Cone Memorial Hospital

Done

Do we know how many rooms, stories, or square footage the house had?

Done In the history section section I wrote, It has twenty-three rooms and 13,000 square feet (1,200 m2) of living space. In the Legacy section I wrote, There are tours given by Park Rangers of the second story of the mansion. I have been there several times and only recall those two levels. Will what I wrote in the article work?--Doug Coldwell (talk) 11:10, 19 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. I apparently missed it the first time around. Hog Farm _Talk 22:42, 19 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Mention that it's a contributing property on the NRHP listing for the Flat Top Estate (NRHP name for the Memorial Park)

Done

this NRHP nomination form PDF probably has some information that can be added

Done

Make sure all of the web sources have publishers - one of the newspaper refs doesn't and a couple others are just the title (check for authors/dates on those too)

Done

Overall, looks pretty good. Placing on hold. Hog Farm _Talk 00:06, 19 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Hog Farm: All issues have been addressed. Can y'all take another look. Thanks.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 18:56, 19 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ready to pass. I ran a copyvio check and was concerned, but after checking the dates, determined that The Watauga Democrat copied a substantial portion of this article for their reporting. So all good from that angle. Hog Farm _Talk 22:48, 19 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
