Wow. Just WOW. You guys REALLY turned this puppy around. This is so far and by far the most professional and polished piece in the class. It is scrupulously researched and documented, and very well-written. I am DULY impressed. Let's talk about the "Descent" section, though: it seems to interrupt the flow. It includes info that, for the purposes of Wikipedia, you don't really need to include (since readers can easily find the Narragansett history simply by clicking on the link you have so courteously provided); beyond that, it has info that could be sunk into other sections, or so it seems to me. What do you think? Once you've made a decision about that, I think you are ready to send this to John, to see what he thinks. (Cc his wife, too, since she can be very helpful--maybe you can work her into this piece, too, somehow, since she's a journalist in her own right!) I also think you can "be bold" and go ahead and try CREATING this article (as opposed to putting it in the long "articles for review" queue). To do that, search "John Christian Hopkins" in the search bar, and Wikipedia *should* tell you, "you may create this article." Flag me down if you need help. And WOW!!!Ssenier (talk) 03:00, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
