Hi Cielquiparle, review follows: article created 30 July and exceeds minimum length; article is well written and cited inline throughout to reliable sources; I didn't pick up any overly close paraphrasing from a spot check on sources I could access; a QPQ has been carried out; hook is interesting, mentioned in the article and checks out to the source cited. My only recommendation would be that you consider adding "in the 1850s" or "during the California Gold Rush" to the hook to add some context and make clear why the black ownership was unusual.

- Thanks @Dumelow:! You are right! I have struck my original hook and would like to now submit this one for consideration below:
- ALT1: ... that the Sweet Vengeance Mine was owned and operated by Black miners during the California Gold Rush?
- What do you think? (I still prefer not to embed an additional wikilink, as the California Gold Rush is wikilinked in the lead of Sweet Vengeance Mine...) Cielquiparle (talk) 10:53, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
