The article checks out, but the hook is a bit clumsy. I've suggested something more concise... Raymie (t • c) 05:25, 20 June 2014 (UTC)

ALT1: ... that residents of present-day San Juan de Santa Bárbara (patron saint pictured) used sugarcane profits to buy their land from an Englishman in 1836?

Review needing for ALT1. Also, please specify what was checked rather than just saying "article check out" in the future. --ThaddeusB (talk) 15:11, 20 June 2014 (UTC)

Sorry, haven't reviewed that many DYKs (trying to help with the backlog because my own self-nom is sitting there as well). It's long enough, new enough, well-cited, and the cited hook is interesting but could use some better concision. Raymie (t • c) 21:22, 20 June 2014 (UTC)

Alt1 is fine with me. Mvblair (talk) 00:03, 21 June 2014 (UTC)

ALT1 verfiied by provided inline citation. --ThaddeusB (talk) 16:15, 23 June 2014 (UTC)

Not promoting myself because I haven't mastered images, but let me suggest:

ALT2... that in 1936, residents of what is now San Juan de Santa Bárbara (patron saint pictured) used sugarcane profits to buy their land from an Englishman?
