Remove the "[the article]... may require copy editing for grammar, style, cohesion, tone, or spelling"

I think we can remove the maintenance template that says "[the article]... may require copy editing for grammar, style, cohesion, tone, or spelling". Flow has been improved and material has been added (some sections of the article did really need the improvements).

According to father's obituary, Brantley was born in New York City

I think most of the information on the web that says Brantley was born in Rutherfordton, North Carolina is wrong. According to her father's obituary^[1], Betsy was born in New York City in 1955. In 1960 her father moved the family back to Greensboro NC. In 1962 her father moved the family to Rutherfordton, NC. It looks like she was mostly raised in Rutherfordton, NC, but not born there.

Noloader, Maybe I am missing something, but I don't see that the obituary says that she was born in New York City. It says,

Jack moved to New York City and sold denim for Greensboro-based Cone Mills. Levi Strauss was Cone's biggest customer. Nobody can remember Jack ever wearing a pair of blue jeans. Dotty and Jack continued their long-distance romance between New York and her hometown of Savannah, GA, where they eventually married on a scorching hot day, June 16, 1951. Dotty then moved north, where the couple began building their family, starting with Jack junior in 1953, fraternal twins Betsy and Alison in 1955, and Duncan in 1959.

The twins might have been born in New York City, but they might also have been born in a suburb. The obituary does go on and on, so perhaps it states the place of birth in another section that I overlooked. (I have added a link to an archive of the article in case non-subscribers might want to read the obituary.) Eddie Blick (talk) 14:54, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
