Comments
 * "the colony of Virginia" should that be Colony of Viriginia?


 * "the Virginia Gazette" -> The Virginia Gazette


 * " first official report." title? Subject?


 * "postmaster general" link?


 * "Hunter had his birth in Yorktown, Virginia at" was born.. and comma after Virginia.


 * "Because of Hunter's father's" William Hunter's.


 * "Hunter grew up he received a good education in the local schools and had advanced" Hunter received a good education...


 * "parents, in October of 1749[3] married" deaths or married in October 1749 (no need for of)?


 * "minor children" do you mean "minors"?


 * "two half-acre" convert.


 * ""public printer" ("printer to the public")" are both of these quotes needed?


 * "Parks' print" Parks's.


 * More of these.


 * "colony of Virginia" see above.


 * " the colony of Virginia from" do we need to repeat this?


 * "280 per year to a yearly salary of £300" inflate.


 * "£350 per year " likewise.


 * "was Joseph Royle" no need to pipelink.


 * "Hunter did his daily work for Parks on " Hunter's print shop was situated on ...


 * "did the printing of the Virginia Gazette and " printed The Virginia Gazette


 * "of the Virginia Gazette from January 3, 1751 until" The... and comma after 1751.


 * "started his own identity of the Gazette with "no. 1" in' needs rewording, do you mean he started to "do his own thing" and re-formatted the publication, starting back at edition 1?


 * "he and Franklin were " the two


 * "600 pounds" £600. And with all these, inflate/convert to US$ too for your countrymen to get a handle on it.


 * "900 English pounds money" -> "£900" (much easier!)


 * "of 278 pounds" £278.

 * "off the debt incurred" no need for incurred.


 * "northern colonies" what were they? Link?


 * "position Hunter held" he held


 * "Justice of the Peace" link?


 * "York County Court" link?


 * "until he died.[2] Hunter died on" merge.


 * "Printed cover page samples of Hunter's publications:" Can't you use a "gallery" template which includes a caption, for which this would work well?


 * "Some additional publications credited to Hunter are" -> "Additional publications credited to Hunter include:"


 * No need for full stops after each publication listed, these are sentence fragments.


 * I feel like there are too manny "see also" people. I'd stick to two or three, the most relevant/related to Hunter and who haven't been linked already.


 * Refs 2, 12, 13 need an en-dash, not a spaced hyphen in the ref title.


 * "Volumes 5-7." en-dash.

 * All issues have been addressed. Can you take another look. Thanks.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 14:47, 11 September 2021 (UTC)


 * For the inflated values, can we limit to say the nearest 1,000? I think you can use   in the inflate template for that. The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 12:00, 12 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Used rounding parameter in templates. Will that work? --Doug Coldwell (talk) 12:51, 12 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Something's gone a bit awry, there are several "last salary of GB£0" now. I also don't think you need GB in there, £ is pretty commonly associated with GB.  The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 09:36, 13 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Got help from the Help Desk and the solution is to use the FXConvert template with less rounding. I have done the editing accordingly. Will that work? --Doug Coldwell (talk) 13:24, 13 September 2021 (UTC)
