Nineteenth Street Baptist Church
You've done a nice job on Nineteenth Street Baptist Church (Washington, D.C.). It is one of the rare new articles that I've reviewed where I did not have to assign 2-4 "tags" recommending fixes to bring it up to Wikipedia's policy and/or quality expectations. The only suggestion I'd make is a minor one; in the future make use of the Ref Name feature. I've already gone through Nineteenth Street Baptist Church (Washington, D.C.) and consolidated the references using Ref Name. If you are going to use a reference multiple times, assign it a Ref Name on first use (see Repeated Citations). After that, instead of entering in the full reference, you can just use that Ref Name again (if using the toolbar for citations). Doing so on Nineteeth Street Baptist Church resulted in keeping all footnotes in the text while cutting the list of 42 references down to 19 references.

Oh, and you may also want to add an entry with on List of Baptist churches with a link back to Nineteenth Street Baptist Church (Washington, D.C.).Stesmo (talk) 18:48, 7 August 2014 (UTC)
