Will review within the next 3 days.♦ Dr. Blofeld 13:57, 7 June 2014 (UTC)

Lede and early life

I don't think you need to link soldier, a lot of links as it is!

Business

• During the absence of the board's president, David Gibson, White served as president pro tempore November 29 through December 13, 1839. -shouldn't there be a "from" after tempore? I'd prefer "until" instead of "through" too.♦ Dr. Blofeld 15:27, 9 June 2014 (UTC)

Preservation

• Delink Union Army, already linked
• Delink bound, unnecessary
• Delink Romney in second image

Death

• Delink Hampshire County Courthouse
• Change "remarked of" to "said of"

Delink hospitality in last section

Love the house image in the snow, reminds me of the house at the beginning of Citizen Kane!

Dr. Blofeld, thank you for the kind words! I took this image while I was in Romney during the February 2010 Snowmageddon. It's a beautiful old house indeed! One of these days, you'll have to visit Romney when you're stateside as you've reviewed many of the articles relating to her! -- Caponer (talk) 17:22, 9 June 2014 (UTC)

@Caponer: Excellent work, looks pretty sound, but you do tend to link excessively I must admit! Meets GA criteria, will pass once you've addressed. Cheers! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 15:36, 9 June 2014 (UTC)

@Dr. Blofeld:, thank you for taking the time to review this article! I admit that I am a bit of an excessive linker, so I've gone through and tried to weed out further instances for wiki-links were superfluous or unnecessary! Take another look when you have a chance, and let me know if you find anything else that needs tweaking or removed! Once again, thank you for taking the time to thoroughly review this article--Mr. White and I are both very grateful! -- Caponer (talk) 17:20, 9 June 2014 (UTC)
