History of slavery in New Jersey: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_slavery_in_New_Jersey

The article on the “History of slavery in New Jersey” could be more thorough and cite better. It is missing citations at the lede of the article, and has a few missing citations down the page.

The article was missing a lot of citations in the Post-American Revolution section, where the first half of the first paragraph and end of the 2nd paragraph list facts and data but have no citations to show for it. The page also was missing citations when it lists facts about the Dutch reformed church in the Colonial section, and the first three paragraphs of the introduction have no citations whatsoever.

And not all the links work, especially in the Introduction where 2 links were found to be dead links. (citations #1, and #5.) On a whole it seems like there are major chunks of the article where the sources do not support the claims of the article, due to a lack of sources or dead sources.

The article does not that two citations are disputed, and it lists the other sources opposed to them (citations #26 and 27)

The article is missing information on the underground railroad, and early colonial slavery that the Scarlet and Black project could add to the page. The page mentions the book has been published but does not cite from it.

The talk page mainly discusses how last year someone made edits to multiple links in the article to make it better, and how there was a major discussion about a potential copyright violation of someone else's work that has appeared on the page.
