• ... that Centre College president William C. Young awarded degrees to three of his half-sisters in 1891, as they had completed the requirements forty years earlier? Source: "William Young also persuaded the board of trustees in 1891 to finally grant Centre degrees to the three of his half-sisters still living. As the daughters of the then-president, they had been allowed to complete the necessary requirements before the Civil War, but not to receive the official recognition they had earned."
  • ALT1: ... that William C. Young was selected to serve as moderator of the Presbyterian Church General Assembly in 1892, much like his father, John, was in 1853? Source: "Rev. William C. Young, also a Presbyterian clergyman, was Moderator of the Presbyterian General Assembly at Portland, Ore., in 1892,..." and "The Rev. John C. Young, D.D., was elected Moderator, the nominations and votes having been as follows ... Dr. Young was, therefore, declared duly elected."

• Article length of over 7000 characters is good for a one day new article. No copyvio or plagiarism concerns. Reliable sources are used. Hooks checks out and are properly referenced. I lean towards original hook. QPQ needs to be done and I can then give a green tick.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 19:48, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
  • Doug Coldwell, thanks very much for the review! I've added a QPQ above. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 03:56, 10 May 2022 (UTC)

I'll review this. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 19:51, 28 August 2022 (UTC)

Images are appropriately tagged. Sources include an MA thesis, but it's used for an uncontroversial statement and I think is OK; the other sources are reliable. The article is in good shape; I've copyedited a little (please revert if I screwed anything up) and have nothing left over to complain about, so I'm passing this.

Spotchecks

PCN02WPS, I should have done spotchecks when I did the GA review, so I'm doing them now. I came up with one thing I wanted to query:

• FN 6 cites "He then enrolled in the Danville Theological Seminary, and graduated with a Doctor of Divinity degree in 1865." As far as I can see the cited source only shows that Young was president of Center in 1888-9.

The other spotchecks I made were all fine. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 10:54, 4 October 2022 (UTC)

@Mike Christie Not sure why I put that FN for that sentence, so I've switched it out and removed the preexisting footnote. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 01:25, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

Looks good; thanks. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 01:31, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
