 * The article checks out, but the hook is a bit clumsy. I've suggested something more concise... Raymie (t • c) 05:25, 20 June 2014 (UTC)
 * ALT1: ... that residents of present-day San Juan de Santa Bárbara (patron saint pictured) used sugarcane profits to buy their land from an Englishman in 1836?
 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg Review needing for ALT1.  Also, please specify what was checked rather than just saying "article check out" in the future. --ThaddeusB (talk) 15:11, 20 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Sorry, haven't reviewed that many DYKs (trying to help with the backlog because my own self-nom is sitting there as well). It's long enough, new enough, well-cited, and the cited hook is interesting but could use some better concision. Raymie (t • c) 21:22, 20 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Alt1 is fine with me. Mvblair (talk) 00:03, 21 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg ALT1 verfiied by provided inline citation. --ThaddeusB (talk) 16:15, 23 June 2014 (UTC)

Not promoting myself because I haven't mastered images, but let me suggest:
 * ALT2... that in 1936, residents of what is now San Juan de Santa Bárbara (patron saint pictured) used sugarcane profits to buy their land from an Englishman?
