• The article is new enough (created on 22 Feb) and long enough (5341 characters). It is well-sourced, neutral in tone, presentable, and free of copyright violations. Earwig returns 3.8%. Hook is short enough, cited, and interesting. QPQ has been provided. @JustJamie820:, I believe "Griqualand West" should be wikilinked in the hook? -AmateurHi$torian (talk) 15:13, 25 February 2025 (UTC)
  • @AmateurHi$torian:: Thanks for the review. I was torn about linking Griqualand West; it redirects to its current name, Northern Cape. However, I have decided to add a piped link to it at your recommendation. Hope it works. -- JustJamie820 (talk) 20:34, 25 February 2025 (UTC)

Yeah, renaming doesn't really change much in my opinion. Its better than an unfamiliar viewer reading "Griqualand West" without any clarification about what that is. Everything else about the nomination seems to check out, nice work! :) -AmateurHi$torian (talk) 01:09, 28 February 2025 (UTC)
