I de-capitalized "Governor" and removed an unneeded comma. --Jsayre64 (talk) 03:30, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

Article creation date and length check out OK. Article fully cited (but see comment below). Hook facts are all fully cited and readable online. All seems good to me. Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 06:30, 2 September 2011 (UTC)

Comment The citations to the "History of Oregon" book all seem to go to a search page only; can they be fixed to go to the actual pages cited? Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 06:30, 2 September 2011 (UTC)

Citations cover all the facts and can be checked by scrolling to cited pages. Before I uploaded article, I tried number of different ways to make link go directly to the cited page, but couldn't make it work--sorry for the inconvenience!--Orygun (talk) 04:26, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
