Y Article stays focused on Mitchell and his exploits. Covers his life and his goings-on fairly thoroughly.
Prose / MoS / ref check
I have edited some references and moved some around; a few sentences were not supported by the supplied inline citations. Will continue to do this as I work through the article.
Y Added some stuff from the Clam Lake Canal article (as well as a ref).
Y Added the Wheeler ref to some places where it supported content.
N Crawford 1913 should show the specific essay that it's quoting from (I assume this is Some Men Who Have Made Cadillac by Jean McGee?) because there are numerous Page 13's in that book. Done provided link for "father of Cadillac" page 13 in source Crawford 1913
N Ref 14 (Bulletin by Illinois Association Opposed to Woman Suffrage) looks like a duplicate of Crawford 1913. Is this the case? Done Good catch. Removed Ref #14.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 19:34, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Y Ref 15 seems good.
N Can't find the thing in Ref 16 (Record 1895) about Mitchell being a Republican (wrong page number?) Done Page 152 is correct. It can be found in the left column about one-third of the way down.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 19:26, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Earwig's detector brings up nothing.
What is going on here? This image should not have the text superimposed on it. Can you upload a clean version?
