Criteria:

• Well written: Yeah, I could follow it reasonably well; no issues at any rate. Y
• Verifiable: Yes, lots of sources for something of this size. Y
• Broad: Talks about aspects of his life (birth, major events, death) without going into too much detail. Y
• Neutral: No POV issues, seems to be eminently neutral. (OK, I just put "eminently" to sound cool. But still.) Y
• Stable: The only edits to this page have been addition of content, and some cleanup. Y
• Illustrated: Not quite, I'd like to see some photos of him, there are only a couple of documents by him. See below discussion.

I would love to find a painting of photograph of Watkins, but I haven't been able to find any. This article (on p. 235) says "Unfortunately no likeness of him has been found after extensive search, and if his portrait exists its location is unknown to his biographers." That tells me the search is likely to remain fruitless. I could add an image of somebody who comes up in the article or perhaps a title page from another one of his books. What I can't find are images of the lost buildings associated with Watkins, such as the Grand Lodge of Maryland, Fourth Presbyterian Church, or the prison where he was held. What are your thoughts on images? Dugan Murphy (talk) 18:47, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

OK, sorry, I didn't know there weren't any images of him. I can't think of any other images that could be added, let's leave as is. So yes, this is done. Y MEisSCAMMER^(talk)_Hello! 22:38, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
