Comment: I've also expanded the article on
Eppa Hunton Jr. since
Eppa Hunton IV received GA status and would like to include it in this hook if possible.

No need for QPQ, only two credits to date. I'd like a bit more hookyness, but this seems ok. Jnr was 5x expanded, whilst IV was GA'd. No copyvio found. Seems good to me Lee Vilenski(

I debated adding that EHIV was the grandson of two Confederate generals as an ALT, as that's probably a more interesting hook, but I do like the idea of including both him and his father and giving a shoutout to my hometown university. I'll give the community a chance to weigh in.

@
Rockhead126: The article itself is solid and there are only a few minor issues that have to be fixed. I will put the article on hold for a week. Cheers, --

Hey, @
Vacant0. Thanks for your help! Excited to finally get this article a GA badge. Some changes I've made/comments:
MOS: Added
Template:Circa to infobox caption. Didn't realize using the template was preferred per MOS. You learn something every day!
References: Most of the references previously used cite web templates. I've been meaning to replace many of them with cite news, cite book, and cite magazine templates where appropriate. Finally got around to doing it and added in a few missing parameters, including volume and number for newspapers. A citation has been added for the added text you referenced. Thanks for pointing out the missing pages in Refs 25 and 51 (now 26 and 52) – that was a mistake on my part; I've added them.
Images: The reason for the dating discrepancy with the Men of Mark lithograph is that it was from 1906 but was based on a photographic portrait from
c. 1900 – I've updated both the Commons file (which I uploaded) and the caption used in the article accordingly. Alt texts have been added to all of the images.
Let me know if there's anything else I can do. Thanks again!
