Thanks for another review Sportsfan77777! I made all the changes except the capitalization of Prohibition and Attorney General. For attorney general, when it is used as a formal title and position that was held, it should be capitalized (see Josh Kaul and List of Attorneys General of Wisconsin), whereas when it is used as a general term is it lowercase. For Prohibition, the link is to Prohibition in the United States. Since it is referencing a specific era and US government policy (and not just the word prohibition), it should capitalized. Let me know what you think. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 14:50, 2 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
