Wikipedia:WikiProject Biography/Peer review/Kiliaen van Rensselaer (Dutch merchant)
Just finished an extensive rewrite of this article, making use of the Van Rensselaer Bowier Manuscripts and other very reliable sources circa 1900. I would like to bring this to GAN soon but would like a peer review before doing so. There are some minor facts that I will be adding in the interim, also, which is why I'm waiting before GAN. In the end, I would really like to bring this to FA status. I put a lot of time, reading, and work into this. Some of the text is copied verbatim from sources (almost all of which are PD); many times this was done because the wording in the source was so good I couldn't top it. That said, there were some that were pretty good, but give off 19th century vibe, but which I couldn't do much with. This is an important man for the history of New York and the Northeastern United States in general, and a full and thorough article on him was very warranted. Thanks in advance to any interested parties! upstateNYer 23:46, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
