Hello User:ChrisGualtieri, I think I reviewed another GAN of your recently, but then I thought, why not review another one? First I am going to upgrade the article to C-class, since obviously this shouldn't be a stub anymore. As on the other review page, I stated that typically I will quote a portion of the article and state the error or query.--12george1 (talk) 03:17, 21 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"The tavern was originally built in 1738 and owned by Captain Alden. By 1850, it had passed to Alden's descendent, Mr. Wattles." - What was Captain Alden and Mr. Wattles first names? Might be useful, but wouldn't be the end of the world if you couldn't find the answer to that question.

Absolutely no idea, never could track it down. I could try and get more from the state... but it wasn't promising. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 04:34, 21 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"but it was part of the town green by the 1903 publication of Brother Jonathan.[3]" - First, what is a "town green"? I have never heard that term. Second you may want to state the Brother Jonathan is a book

Village green - And okay. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 04:34, 21 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The organization of "Historical significance" is awkward. The first paragraph is unsourced, but a summary of the second paragraph. So it's a bit redundant. For example, you mentioned 3 times that General Prescott was horsewhipped. Isn't once enough?

Sorry, reduced and fixed.

Under the references, add the publication date for reference #3 and #11.

I do not know the true date ref 11 was published - but I did add the date for the meeting to the source.

Alright, I see what you did there. I assumed that the meeting date was the same as the publication date, but that's not always true. My city council doesn't usually post the meeting agenda or minutes on their website the same day.--12george1 (talk) 15:54, 21 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Add accessdates for references #1, #3, #4, #6, and #7

Kinda confused here - the 3, 4, 6, and 7, are all books. They do not need accessdates I believe. The content does not change. I fixed the 1st one - which was dated, but it used a template which I had to go around. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 04:34, 21 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, now I'm not sure about the accessdates for books. They might tell you something different if you take this article to FAC, but for now, I am going to let it slide.--12george1 (talk) 15:54, 21 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

In about a week, I will be back to check your progress. Otherwise, you can leave a note on my talk page if you finish sooner. Regards, --12george1 (talk) 03:17, 21 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@12george1: - How's it looking now? ChrisGualtieri (talk) 04:34, 21 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@ChrisGualtieri: - I am now going this pass this article and list it as a GA. Congratulations on a job well done,--12george1 (talk) 15:54, 21 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. It is sad it became a parking lot, but it was long gone for over a hundred years. Still on the historic register though. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 17:12, 21 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
