Talk:Thomas Lee (Virginia colonist)

Lee & Carter
Here are the excerpts from

"No love was ever lost between their families, even after - or especially after - Robert Carter's great-granddaughter married a collateral kinsman of Thomas Lee, and the couple produced the greatest Virginian of both families, Robert Edward Lee (p.354)"

"One family of consequence since Robert Carter's father's day, into which no Carter married, was the Lee family. The feeling between the 'King' and the no longer young Thomas Lee influenced some of their immediate descendants. Through Thomas Lee's marriage to Hannah Harrison Ludwell, their children were cousins of Carter's Harrison grandchildren, but the younger Harrisons and the younger Lees shared an aggressive dislike which continued even while they were working for the same ends in the Revolution. (pp. 368-369)"

But there's more describing Lee and his home, his job as some kind of land agent (which I think might be the reason for the animosity), etc., too much to type out, so if you can get your hands on the book, I think it would be worth it... --plange 01:47, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

GA status
On hold for 7 days due to three issues:
 * 1) I find this confusing: "Two months later Hannah Lee gave birth to a son John. He died the same day due to Hannah Lee's escape from the burning plantation." ...How could a newborn die two months after the fire with the fire being the cause of the baby's death? This line is not clear to me.
 * 2) Book refs--flesh out the details using cite book format, add publisher, city, etc and make the book refs a standard format using cite book.
 * 3) the lead needs a second para, see WP:LEAD
 * I fixed some minor things for you. Rlevse 18:10, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
 * How did a baby die two days after mom's injuries and those caused baby's death? You haven't addressed other issues too.Rlevse 12:31, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
 * GA Failed due to lack of repsonses after more than 7 days.Rlevse 13:34, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

GA-comments
Just a few... nothing major enough to withhold the GA-status, but probably need to be addressed before it can be advanced to A-class.

1. The numerous redlinks-I am a big fan of redlinks because it leads to article creation. However some of them are very unlikely to ever be created.

2. The references section-You don't need to list the same books over and over. You can use in a notes section and list the book title under references (see Hugh Ewing, another GA). 3. The tables of contents doesn't really make sense to me. It begins with section 1 (biography). Isn't the entire article a biography? 4. There are more categories that this article fits into.

That's about it. Anyway, congratulations, excellent work. MrPrada 10:00, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
