- Article is cited properly. In this case, the citation to Find A Grave is actually okay, as what's being cited is a scan of a primary source document hosted on Find a Grave, so the material cited is reliable, and just hosted there. There's an inline after the sentence the hook is cited in. Hook meets the interesting enough and length requirements, IMO. Hook material is in the cited source. Earwig check is clean, only flags the names of some of the references. Article is long enough and new enough. QPQ done. This one's good to go. Hog Farm _Bacon 01:32, 6 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
