• ... that although the town clerk, Edward Hart, wrote the Flushing Remonstrance of 1657, no one knows who most inspired its moving appeal for freedom of conscience in colonial New Netherland?

Created by Delabrede (talk). Self-nominated at 19:10, 22 September 2015 (UTC).

• Once again, an obviously well researched effort, Delabrede. Article is new enough, long enough, well referenced. (Note: Yahoo Groups is not a reliable source, and should be deleted.) No close paraphrasing seen. The first paragraph under Early Life needs a citation, per DYK rules. No QPQ needed for nominator with less than 5 DYKs.
• However, the article is excessively long, and therefore hard to follow. I suggest you read WP:SIZE and eliminate much of the narrative, making it more encyclopedic. The entire text of the examination need not appear in the Notes section. The quotes printed in some of the footnotes are also excessively long. If you feel everything is important, you should consider splitting the article. Regarding the hook, I'd appreciate your pointing me to the inline cites for the hook facts; I'm afraid I can't spot them. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 22:33, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

-- Thanks, again, Yoninah. I've edited the article to comply with these suggestions as best I could. Delabrede (talk) 13:05, 25 October 2015 (UTC)

• Thank you for your cooperation, Delabrede. The article is much trimmer, and I can see the hook fact and inline cites. Before passing this, I'd like to note that ancestry.com and geni.com are not considered reliable sources, and should be removed. Yoninah (talk) 19:07, 25 October 2015 (UTC)

--OK, Yoninah, and thanks again. I've removed all genealogical sources. Delabrede (talk) 20:52, 25 October 2015 (UTC)

• Great. We're good to go. Yoninah (talk) 21:00, 25 October 2015 (UTC)
