I will take a look at this @Maximilian775: el.ziade (talkallam) 12:19, 13 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Source Review. All accessible sources check out; the Simpson 2012 one is accepted in GF.el.ziade (talkallam) 12:55, 13 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Article was nominated as Created (was created in 2009), but was in fact more than 5x expanded (from ~97 to ~880 words). The first hook ref checks out. I recommend that the hook, which only appears in the lead, is also included in the body of the article and that the citation be moved to the body instead of the lead as per Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Lead_section#Citations this recommendation. Both hooks are cited and are interesting. The floating seminary would have made a nice addition also. The tone conforms to the guidelines. Source review done (see comment above). This one is good to go. Nice, concise and informative. Thanks Max. el.ziade (talkallam) 13:16, 13 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for reminding me of the flatboat bit -- Was going to include it in one of the hooks. Am therefore proposing ALT3 ... that the Church of St Thomas, the Apostle and Howard-Flaget House was the site of the first Roman Catholic seminary on the American frontier, which had been founded on a flatboat?
