 * Symbol confirmed.svg the article is long enough, is neutral, contains no close paraphrasing or copyvio (0%), the hook is neutral, short enough (ALT1), interesting, is properly sourced with an inline source citation, the article itself is adequately sourced and written in adequate English.

 * Note: striking original hook per WP:DYKSG, which does not allow parentheses in hooks beyond "(pictured)". BlueMoonset (talk) 21:47, 19 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg Hi, I came by to promote this, but it's hard for me to check the citations without knowing the page numbers. Could you please add page numbers to the sources? Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 20:51, 22 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the interest! I added page numbers to three sources. Two other sources were web pages; another (Little) is readable through Google Books but lacks page numbers. The primary source for the article is BHO (British History Online). BHO is a digitized archive of letters and other primary sources, and generally lacks page numbers, except where provided in the original document. Here's an alternate source for the quote that sparked the DYK; it's from Google Books and the relevant passage appears as page 413 (text identical to the digital BHO version), with a summary on page xxxv.
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Thank you. I added a cite to the book and also to the online source which you noted next to your hook. While the URLs for the Calendar of State Papers Colonial, America and West Indies source are all different, they all looked the same in the footnotes section, so I added the volume number to each source. Rest of review per Elisa.rolle. ALT1 good to go. Yoninah (talk) 20:03, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
