 * Review Symbol confirmed.svg Good to go! Meets core policies and guidelines, and in particular: is neutral; cites sources with inline citations; is free of close paraphrasing issues, copyright violations and plagiarism. DYK nomination was timely and article is easily long enough.  Every paragraph is cited. Hook references for main hook and Alt 1 are verified and cited. Alt 2 is mentioned in the article (and I believe is true), but there is no citation for that fact.  No copyright violations or too close paraphrasing. Earwig's copy violation detector report gives it a clean bill. All hooks are hooky enough, I think, and relate directly to the essence of the article.  It is interesting, decently neutral, and appropriately cited (except as noted above). QPQ not required.  Hypothetically, if we went with Alt 1, a picture of the gravesite would be a nice addition. Johnny Appleseed gravesite.  I have added it to the article, so it is usable. 7&amp;6=thirteen (☎) 12:37, 16 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment This is a well put together article for a DYK, and I think (for a settlement) that the hooks are very interesting; someone will be enticed to view the article. Buffaboy  talk 13:54, 16 May 2015 (UTC)
