• @AnotherColonialHistorian: With respect to the birth date footnote, does it mean that both sources state his birth date could be September 6 or September 12, or does it mean that one source says September 6 and the other September 12? Please clarify, thanks. Flibirigit (talk) 16:02, 20 August 2024 (UTC)

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Article was moved to the mainspace on July 13 and nominated the same day. Length is adequate. Sourcing is mostly complete, but I have two questions: Please clarify the question above on the footnote for the birthdate, and the source for the quotebox titled "For Susan Amelia Coe". I'm also curious on the purpose of the quotebox, as I am not sure how it is relevant. The article appears neutral in tone, and no plagiarism was detected. All images used in the article have a public domain license on the Commons. The nominated image is clear at a resolution and enhances the hook. QPQ has been completed although it was not required. All of the proposed hooks are verbose, and depend on the reader's knowledge of Tony Goldwyn and Robert Coe (colonist). I feel like these are not globally known persons and detract from the interest in clicking on Nathaniel Coe. I think shorter hooks would work better here, without the family members mentioned. Will wait for the nominator to reply before further analysis on the hooks. Overall the article looks to be in good shape and is a welcome contribution to Wikipedia!

@Flibirigit: How do these sound?

• ALT4a ... that the founder of Hood River, Oregon, Nathaniel Coe (pictured), served in all three branches of the state's government?
• ALT5 ... that Nathaniel Coe (pictured) and his wife led an initiative to change the name of Dog River, Oregon due to its vulgar origin?

ALT5 is not exactly directly stated in the article but rather is suggested, so I get if it can't be used. In addition, would a hook based on During the 71st session of the Assembly, Coe introduced the first-of-its-kind anti-rape bill "An act to punish seduction." It was passed into law on March 22, 1848. work? I also noticed that there's a mention of "democrat" instead of "Democrat". Finally, per WP:DYKCOMPLETE, if information could be found about his later life and death, that would we welcome as it's not currently in the article.

The nominator has not edited since July 28.[1] Searching on Newspapers.com via the Wikipedia Library is hindered by a service issue.[2] There's no rush here. Best to wait a few days on this. Flibirigit (talk) 03:23, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
