Thank you for the compliments on the writing and referencing. I see what you mean about being more explicit regarding the subject's notability. I will edit the article soon and be more explicit about the leadership role he played in the early years of the Quaker movement he played in the Canadian Maritimes. |

Thank you for your contribution of this article. It is a fine article, well written and well referenced. However, is this person notable per WP:BIO? It doesn't look like it to me. Generally speaking, per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (biographies)#Opening paragraph, biographies start of something like this:
- Name of Person (birthdate - deathdate) was a [location] [occupation]. He is noted for __________...
Except here, I don't know with what to replace the __________. I'm not saying the person is not notable, I'm just saying it seems questionable to me. Herostratus (talk) 06:30, 27 June 2010 (UTC)
Thank you for the compliments on the writing and referencing. I see what you mean about being more explicit regarding the subject's notability. I will edit the article soon and be more explicit about the leadership role he played in the early years of the Quaker movement he played in the Canadian Maritimes.
- Well very good. And again, thank you - a compliment is easy to make, an article much harder. Herostratus (talk) 04:04, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
