Comments

  • J.S. Stearns --> J. S. Stearns


  • As "lumber baron" redirects to "business magnate", it's worth linking lumber in the lead to tell us specifically what he was into.


  • "He was involved" was also. Or ditch "other".


  • "Stearns, as a ..." sentence has lumber three times!


  • "lumber baron" is linked twice in the lead.


  • Pine King in the lead and "Pine King" in the body.


  • "He was involved in..." you already said what he was involved in in the first para of the lead.


  • You link Michigan in the lead but none of the other states.


  • "of a boating" in a boating accident.


  • "at around" at not needed for me.


  • "who had this tragic death at such an early age" unnecessary commentary.


  • No need to link common words like "teen"


  • "Miss Paulina Lyon" is "Miss" needed?


  • "Pauline's" - Paulina?


  • Convert the miles for the people reading this who live in a metric world.


  • Setback is just a single word.


  • Several locations are overlinked: "Ludington, Michigan", ", Stearns, Kentucky", "Bagdad, Florida", "Odanah, Wisconsin", "Mason County, Michigan" etc.


  • " it had 30 men " employed.



  • "Pere Marquette Railroad." seems to be called Railway.


  • "one of the top businessmen" in what sense?


  • " Yamacraw and Oz." what are these?


  • "bankruptcy.[6][3]" order.


  • "banking interests in implementing new banking" repetitive.


  • "Stearns built in 1902 the first all electric..." -> "In 1902, Stearns built the first all-electric...":


  • Refs, no spaced hyphens, per MOS:DASH.


  • Check date formats are consistent in refs.


  • Page ranges also need dash not hyphen.
Not Done - don't know how to do. Can you help? Thanks. -- Doug Coldwell ( talk) 20:47, 6 March 2021 (UTC) reply


  • Ref 10 should be "pages" not "page".


  • ISBNs should be consistently formatted.


  • His death and death date etc appear to be missing from the article prose.


That's it for now, on hold. The Rambling Man ( Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 11:13, 6 March 2021 (UTC) reply

FWIW - It so happens that Professor Nagle authored this book in 2015 based on the Wikipedia article I created in 2010 on Justus Smith Stearns. He told me he is working on another history book about Eber Brock Ward that he is basing off the Wikipedia article I have 91% authorship, that I did a 10 times expansion on 29 October 2010. -- Doug Coldwell ( talk) 21:40, 6 March 2021 (UTC) reply
