James McLemore, Alabama Baptist Association, Caesar Blackwell, Antioch Baptist Church (Montgomery, Alabama)
[edit]- ... that Baptist James McLemore, founder of the Antioch Baptist Church (Montgomery, Alabama), owned the wife and child of black preacher Caesar Blackwell, who had been bought for $625 by the Alabama Baptist Association in 1828 to preach to mixed audiences?

- Comment: These articles aren't finished: McLemore is not yet up to DYK length, I believe. But I'm on the road, and don't know when I can finish stuff up--so consider this a place marker, to prevent the nomination from going past the expiration date.
Created by Drmies (talk). Self nominated at 04:52, 3 July 2014 (UTC).
- New enough at time of nomination, all except James McLemore long enough, all I don't see any mention of McLemore in citation #6, though the ABA is mentioned. No apparent paraphrasing policy issues, though I'm a bit concerned about the usage of FindAGrave.com and USGenWeb, among others. Hook is too long, QPQ pending.

- Thanks Cloudchased. The hook is under 200 characters once you remove the "other" three article names (DYK supplementary rules). All articles should now be of appropriate length. Obviously I still need to review four articles, and I'm keeping the blank image: I hope to take pictures of the Blackwell grave tomorrow.
As for these sources, sure, FindAGrave and USGenWeb aren't the greatest of sources, but they're not the worst either. Besides, the information derived from them is not a BLP violation, nor is it necessary to establish notability or overwhelmingly important facts. But if you like, we can have others look at it (Casliber, do you have a moment?) or I can post at RSN. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 02:29, 10 July 2014 (UTC)
- Yeah, this one I think we'd have trouble qualifying as a Reliable Source. Sorry. FindAGrave I think I can live with as it gets lot of official lists as well and has some vetting.... Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 15:50, 10 July 2014 (UTC)

- Hey; sorry, I won't be able to finish this review for the time being. Could someone else take a look, please? Cloudchased (talk) 01:09, 19 July 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks Cloudchased. The hook is under 200 characters once you remove the "other" three article names (DYK supplementary rules). All articles should now be of appropriate length.

- Drmies, I was about to call for a new reviewer, but a check of the hook found that it is indeed too long, with 225 characters even when excluding three of the four bold links (I count the longest of them and discard the rest, and spaces are always counted). Please propose a new hook, and I'll be happy to add the "review again" icon. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 20:56, 21 July 2014 (UTC)
- Dear BlueMoonset, I tweaked (and un-struckthrough) the hook: should be short enough. I still need to do one review, and I have the images, but still need to add one to the article and to this nomination. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 22:29, 21 July 2014 (UTC)
- Great, thanks, Drmies. Revised hook is short enough (192 characters by my count). Will wait for the remaining (fourth) QPQ. BlueMoonset (talk) 00:47, 22 July 2014 (UTC)
- BlueMoonset, I added my last review. Let's drop the picture: the ones I took are not clear or pretty enough, really--I did not get a shot of Caesar Blackwell's gravestone. So let's get this one out of the way. Thanks for all your help, Drmies (talk) 14:56, 26 July 2014 (UTC)
- New full review needed now that all four QPQs have been provided, the McLemore article has more than doubled in size, and other changes have been made. I've removed the placeholder for the picture. BlueMoonset (talk) 16:05, 26 July 2014 (UTC)

Well, at this point there's no chance of my even leaving the house for a few days. I can only say that if you can wait a bit longer I'll send you a pdf off the fiche, since this seems to interest you, and we'll have done about the best we can do source-wise.

- New reviewer required. Hawkeye7 (talk) 10:41, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
- All four were new enough, created June 29-30, are long enough, no evidence of close paraphrasing, neutral, well-sourced. Sources seem reliable for the facts given. Hook is not too long, sourced. QPQ done. It takes more than one source to get the hook – not a problem. Good to go. Aymatth2 (talk) 12:54, 9 September 2014 (UTC)
