Date and length fine. Both hooks cited inline but my preference is for the original. QPQ done with no close paraphrasing. The picture in the article was not used. Good to go. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 06:31, 29 July 2021 (UTC)
- @Antony-22 and The C of E: Maybe you can help me work out the original? Is it saying (A) the cemetery has been a farm, has been "the Babe Ruth...", and has been a suspected mobster, (B) the farm that is now a cemetery was owned by the founder of Westbury, was owned by "the Babe Ruth...", and was owned by a suspected mobster, or (C) the founder of Westbury was "the Babe Ruth..." and a suspected mobster? Any of these are possible with the current phrasing, and while I'm guessing it's B or C, perhaps the interesting-if-morbid ALT1 that's much more clear should be used.

- @Kingsif: It's (B). (A) is clearly semantically impossible. Antony–22 (talk⁄contribs) 00:19, 15 August 2021 (UTC)
