I've done a preliminary read of the article which is stable and I'm happy with the images which are appropriate and seem to be free of any problems. It therefore passes GACR#5 and GACR#6. I need to read it in more depth and hope to have time for that tomorrow but there are a couple of points in the meantime:

1. Richmond isn't on the coast so should it be termed an East Coast City? The state may have an Atlantic shoreline but the city does not.

2. "Sir Raleigh" is incorrect. You can call him Sir Walter Raleigh in full or just Sir Walter, once you have established who he was.

Back soon. All the best and stay safe. No Great Shaker (talk) 21:00, 10 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I have changed "Sir Raleigh" to "Sir Walter" and have removed the "East Coast" information entirely. I appreciate your initial review and look forward to further comments. Thank you! Jordano^5³ 21:47, 10 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
