6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

A great article, just some small issues here:

1. Under "Aftermath": "Andros was moved from Usher's house to Fort Mary after it fell into rebel hands on the 19th." It is technically unclear here whether "it" refers to Usher's house or Fort Mary... replacing that word with "the former" or "the latter" would clarify things.
2. Since this is an article about the United States, shouldn't the dates be in American date order? I'm always getting it muddled when it comes to these things, so feel free to slap me with the relevant directive on this one...

I am going to put the article on hold for a period of up to seven days so that changes can be made. I'm always open to discussion, so if you think I'm wrong on something leave your thoughts here and we'll discuss. I'll be checking this page at least daily, unless something comes up in real life, so you can be sure I'll notice any comments left here. Canadian Paul 03:30, 22 April 2011 (UTC)

Well, the article was originally written in dmy format, so I just kept it that way because I'm not fussy. Since there are relatively few dates, I've switched them to mdy. I've also clarified Andros' transfer. Magic♪piano 19:29, 22 April 2011 (UTC)

Alrighty then! Everything looks great, so I will be passing this as a Good Article. Congratulations and thank you for your hard work! Canadian Paul 02:26, 23 April 2011 (UTC)
