Bangs monument at Rosehill Cemetery

• ... that George Bangs' cemetery memorial features a mail car (pictured), carved to scale, commemorating his leadership of the Railway Mail Service? Source: "Bangs has a three-foor-long railroad car entering a tunnel for his monument; Bangs perfected the mail car while head of the Railway Mail Service." ([1])

• @MB: I'll do the review. epicgenius (talk) 02:05, 5 September 2019 (UTC)

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

Policy compliance:

• Adequate sourcing:
• Neutral:
• Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:
• Other problems: - Couple of MOS issues such as punctuation after references. But that should not be a big issue. I don't think copying a few proper phrases is an issue with regards to copyvios.

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

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Couple of unsourced statements such as the single sentence "The New York Central and Pennsylvania Railroad fast-mail trains to Chicago were called the Twentieth Century Limited and Limited Mail, respectively." However, on the whole this is sourced well. epicgenius (talk) 02:05, 5 September 2019 (UTC)

• Hi, I came by to promote this, but I don't see anything about "carved to scale" in the article. Yoninah (talk) 19:01, 21 September 2019 (UTC)

Added ("in scale") to the article. Does this get the image slot? If so, note that the reviewer did not verify the image. MB 19:39, 21 September 2019 (UTC)

Yoninah, forget to ping. MB 19:46, 21 September 2019 (UTC)

• Thank you. Restoring tick per Epicgenius' review. Don't worry, I double-check everything, and the image is fine. Yoninah (talk) 19:49, 21 September 2019 (UTC)
