Preliminary notes

• This has some stuff about a James Swoveland affirming to have ridden in Lambert's car in 1891, that might warrant mention.

• @JPxG: Thanks for hint (nice catch). I have that article in my article already eleven times as Ref #4.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 21:50, 26 March 2021 (UTC)
• User:JPxG Any other issues I should work on? --Doug Coldwell (talk) 21:43, 26 March 2021 (UTC)

• Sorry, this one kind of fell off the radar. I will go through it in a bit. jp×g 04:39, 27 March 2021 (UTC)

• Y: Great, no action required.
•  : Not necessary but might be worth looking at.
• N: Needs to be fixed.

Copyvio

• Y Earwig's detector says everything is fine.

Stability

• Y Article is quite stable. Has not been the subject of any controversy except from an IP address repeatedly adding stuff like "where he learned how to fly" and "harold".

POV

•   Minor amounts of general fluff like "That was a good thing, since", not a big deal.

•  Done --Doug Coldwell (talk) 10:24, 27 March 2021 (UTC)

Media

• Y All images are public-domain, clearly illustrative, and cool.
•   What the heck is going on with the front left wheel in this image?

Focus / scope / coverage / completeness
