Reviewing:-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 15:43, 26 January 2025 (UTC)
  • It might be fixed now. Aneirinn (talk) 18:10, 30 January 2025 (UTC)
  • This has began to confuse me. I am also confused by this term "main body". Everything that is being questioned is featured in the body or the body sections of the articles. I will break this down by article.
  • William Bartram (Pennsylvania politician)
  • "mentions his grandson in the LEAD and no where else." – It is mentioned in the section "Family". "William Bartram the emigrant was the grandfather of the naturalist."
    • I think I may have been looking for the words William Bartram, but did not find such text referring to the right person.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 22:12, 6 February 2025 (UTC)
  • "I am not seeing the mention of 2nd generation's service." – His legislative service is mentioned in the section "Biography". "Following in his father's footsteps, Bartram was chosen to be a member of the Pennsylvania Provincial Assembly and represented Chester County in 1708." I also just added "and was a member of the colonial legislature for many years." in the mention of his son William.
    • I think I got confused as to the referent of "Following in his father's footsteps", but I guess 1708 should have clued me in.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 22:41, 6 February 2025 (UTC)
  • William Bartram (North Carolina politician)
  • "The uncle relationship is not clearly presented in the body." – See the section "Visits by John and William Bartram". "John Bartram visited his half-brother William Bartram many times during the 1760s. William Bartram, the naturalist, or Billy as his father John and mother Ann had called him... Billy left Ashwood in the latter part of 1772, by the time his uncle, his uncle's wife Elizabeth, and cousin William had all died." Aneirinn (talk) 21:33, 6 February 2025 (UTC)
    • So "William Bartram, the naturalist, or Billy as his father John and mother Ann had called him,[16][17] lived with the Bartrams at Ashwood for four years, from 1761 to 1765." is saying that subject's nephew lived with him from 1761-5 and latter until 1772?-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 22:55, 6 February 2025 (UTC)
      • The amount of William Bartrams (and Elizabeths) are prone to causing confusion. Yes, William Bartram the naturalist lived with Col. William Bartram at Ashwood from 1761–1765 and came back in 1771, by the time Col. William Bartram had died, and then Col. William Bartram's son William Bartram, the cousin of William Bartram the naturalist, died in 1771, likely during William Bartram the naturalist's stay at Ashwood. William Bartram the naturalist left Ashwood late in the year 1772. Aneirinn (talk) 03:51, 7 February 2025 (UTC)
        • I'll go blind if I try to think about your response. So I'll get back to the review. Content is written in a neutral manner. The hook is cited, interesting and concise enough. It seems that you are in need of a second QPQ credit.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 05:21, 7 February 2025 (UTC)
all set WP:AGF for some offline refs.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 23:00, 10 February 2025 (UTC)
