GA review (see here for criteria)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

   "A small British fleet then took shape at Norfolk" - A minor quibble, but I'd suggest 'assembled' instead of 'took shape'

   "Navy boats sent to punish the townspeople were repulsed by Continental Army troops and militia in a brief gunfight" - Possibly it's just me, but 'gunfight' has a more modern connotation for me. Totally optional, but I'd go with 'firefight'

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

   "Virginia's Committee of Safety began organizing a response to Dunmore's actions." - I'm not entirely sure, from this and the succeeding text, what exactly this response was to be. Just assemble troops, or actually retaliate against Dunmore physically? Can this be expanded upon at all?

   I see 'Virginia Historical Society (1906)' in the references, but not in the citations. If it hasn't been used, best to remove it.

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

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

   a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

Excellent article, only a few very minor things needed looking at before I can pass it. Skinny87 (talk) 19:21, 24 September 2010 (UTC)

I hope you're enjoying your tour through the early American Revolution :). I've made some changes to address your concerns above; let me know if you need any more. Magic♪piano 13:44, 25 September 2010 (UTC)
