Failed "good article" nomination

This article has failed its Good article nomination, as it is a long way from meeting any one of the six good article criteria.

• "Watertown is located ... " - unsourced
• "Creating such a ... " - unourced
• "There Richard joined ... " - unourced
• "Foster was chosen ... " - unourced
• "Hungerford learned a ... " - unourced
• "In their defense ... " - unourced
• "As of 2020 ... " - unourced
• A lot of portions like this don't have any citations.

Suggestions

• Request for copyediting at WP:GOCE
• Expand the lead.
• Avoid single sentence paras.

When these issues are addressed, the article can be renominated. If you feel that this review is in error, feel free to have it reassessed. Thank you for your work so far.— ❯❯❯   S A H A 09:40, 5 October 2020 (UTC) reply

This article seems much too long for the notability of the subject. It appears to be a cut and paste from a book or encyclopedia entry, as it contains a lot of material unnecessary for the article. The sentence discussing the cost of his burial plot being one of countless examples. I would suggest the article could be substantially reduced. Interested editors are encouraged to review and comment about this, or even take the initiative to edit and cut back the article directly. Go4thProsper ( talk) 23:00, 20 June 2024 (UTC) reply
