Jerimoth Hill
Found this on Unusual_articles. This is a fascinating little slice of Americana. It's information like this that makes Wikipedia so much better than a paper encyclopaedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Baldghoti (talk • contribs) 16:34, January 20, 2006 (UTC)
 * Object. 1) Assertions like "Richardson became known sometimes to insult, threaten or even use violence against visitors who tried to use his road" need specific inline citations. 2) Richardson's "goodwill was ultimately abused" -- how was it abused? &mdash; Matt Crypto 18:56, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose. This fascinating little slice of Americana has not been subjected to peer review, a recommendation for every FA candidate. It also has no inline citation, relies on a single source and is too short. What about geological information on this hill? This article only covers the hiking side of this.

 * Object. Just because it is fascinating or interesting doesn't mean it should become a FA. Meets nearly none of the FA criteria. AndyZ 20:43, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Too short, and too few references. What we've basically got here is one section of what a Featured Article on this subject might look like. We need more information: a full history of the location, geological details of the hill, etc. See Mount Pinatubo and Mount St. Helens for examples of what Featured Articles on mountains look like; perhaps you can extrapolate from there. — BrianSmithson 14:41, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
