Note: @DaniloDaysOfOurLives and I are working very hard to review every single GA nomination in the television section. Consider joining us to clear the backlog!

Wow, this one looks like it took a lot of research and is very interesting! Looking forward to reviewing. IAWW (talk) 11:40, 24 May 2025 (UTC)

@PCN02WPS Review is below. I really found very little wrong with this article, and I think it was your best one I have reviewed yet! Good luck with Gideon Blackburn :) IAWW (talk) 13:25, 24 May 2025 (UTC)

@It is a wonderful world As always, thank you for the review! I am very grateful for the kind words. Everything should be fixed/responded to! PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 21:45, 26 May 2025 (UTC)

I am happy with all your changes and am passing now! IAWW (talk) 09:40, 27 May 2025 (UTC)

@It is a wonderful world courtesy ping on the off-chance you forgot to promote & close the discussion :) PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 15:57, 27 May 2025 (UTC)

Yes I did! Silly me IAWW (talk) 20:26, 27 May 2025 (UTC)

Prose (Criteria 1a, 1b, 4) clock

Lead

Looks good :)

Early life and education

What is a "classical school"? IAWW (talk) 13:24, 24 May 2025 (UTC)

Linked Classical education. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 21:43, 26 May 2025 (UTC)

Career

I think this section could do with some subheadings. IAWW (talk) 13:24, 24 May 2025 (UTC)

Added three where they felt the most natural. There are several sources about Oakland's history that I don't have access to but I am hoping to work out a way to get my hands on them and expand that last subheading. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 21:43, 26 May 2025 (UTC)

Oh that would be great! Good luck. IAWW (talk) 09:40, 27 May 2025 (UTC)

Death and legacy

noted that his death: I don't think "noted" is the most neutral here. I think the word is usually used when implying that the PoV is correct. IAWW (talk) 13:24, 24 May 2025 (UTC)

Good point. Switched to "claimed" PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 21:43, 26 May 2025 (UTC)

This is so interesting and well written!

Fate of Oakland College

Footnotes [f] and [g] need sources. IAWW (talk) 13:24, 24 May 2025 (UTC)

Added. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 21:43, 26 May 2025 (UTC)

and Alcorn A&M College (now Alcorn State University) was opened as the first black land grant institution in the country: In the same building? Otherwise, I don't see why this is relevant. IAWW (talk) 13:24, 24 May 2025 (UTC)

Removed as irrelevant to Chamberlain, minor reword to accommodate the change. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 21:43, 26 May 2025 (UTC)

Sources Y

Health/formatting (Criterion 2a) Y

Beautiful sfn formatting <3

Reliability (Criterion 2b) Y

What a fantastic range of high quality sources.

Spot check (Criteria 2b, 2c, 2d) Y

[16]: Y

[22a]: Y

[22b]: Y

[41d]: Y It so seems like the source over dramatized this story though xD IAWW (talk) 13:24, 24 May 2025 (UTC)

Yeah, they really had a field day with it. Gotta sell those papers I guess! PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 21:43, 26 May 2025 (UTC)

Copyvio (Criterion 2d) Y

Earwig finds nothing. I found nothing on the spot check.

Scope (Criteria 3a, 3b) Y

Covers his whole life and related information.

Media clock

I'm sure you tried your best to find a photo. It's unfortunate this doesn't have one though.

There is one very common one that Dickinson and Centre both use on their bios but I haven't been able to find the original publication date. I am hoping to take this to FAC so I'll definitely have to have that in order to get that pic on the article, but I will keep looking! PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 21:43, 26 May 2025 (UTC)

Good luck! IAWW (talk) 09:39, 27 May 2025 (UTC)

Tags (Criterion 6a) clock

I don't think File:Mitchell Map Liberia colony 1839.jpg should have a CC4 tag, since it is public domain. IAWW (talk) 13:24, 24 May 2025 (UTC)

Removed from the Commons page. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 21:43, 26 May 2025 (UTC)

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: @PCN02WPS: Congrats on the GA! The article is (obviously) long enough and well-sourced. All hooks are interesting, and I would personally prefer ALT1. The source linked describes the stabber as a landowner instead of a planter, though I suppose they're pretty much the same thing. All in all, this DYK is good to go.

• @CanonNi: - I changed "planter" to "local landowner" in the text so I have replaced both instances in the hooks. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 15:30, 29 May 2025 (UTC)`
