Review

Michaelgav09, you are making it hard on yourself: again you have an article on something that seems to be barely notable. The assignment was to find something that you can cite books for. I don't know if you looked for those or not (nothing is cited), but I did, and all I see are guidebooks that point to this place, a commercial farm, as a tourist attraction. Go through these pages and tell me where we can find significant, in-depth discussion of this place. I do not quite understand why you didn't pick someone from Wikipedia:Requested articles/Biography/By nationality, or some other ancient thing that's written about?

just to let you know, Battleview orchards is a historic site from the American revolution. The Battle of Monmouth, where George Washington and Molly Pitcher both were, was fought on portions of present day battleview orchards. in 1968 the state of New Jersey took land through eminent domain from the orchard and turned it into Monmouth battlefield State Park. The Applegate family(who has owned the land and orchard since before the revolution) also has a rich history that can be traced back to before the revolution as well. Based on all that I thought the article would be considered notable. I have been doing research and have even emailed the Freehold Township Historical society to try and get some more reliable information on the history of the land. Please let me know if this is adequate enough so I can write the article and head home to start my cancer treatment — Preceding unsigned comment added by Michaelgav09 (talk • contribs) 22:37, 14 April 2017 (UTC)
