More Minor Edits[edit]

Under the Death and Legacy section, include a link to the Black Heritage Trail.

You don't really need a heading titled Intro. That information can go in the first section.

Include a picture: can find one in local library

The last name of the abolitionist is not consistent throughout the article.

Under Contributions to Abolitionism, provide a brief description of Massasoit Guards when you first mention it.

"The community activist work that John P Cobourn participated in was abolition related" can be phrased better.

Why did you reformat all the citations and remove useful links?[edit]

I'm going to edit the citations. Please take note. --MopTop (talk) 16:00, 27 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I edited the citations so that they include links to the source material and use ref names that make sense so you can remember what's what when you're editing. I also made some other small changes; see MOS:SURNAME and MOS:Headings. I removed one sentence that was not cited and not about John Coburn; it seemed like it was added for the sake of adding text. --MopTop (talk) 17:49, 27 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
