Notes
  • The 3rd citation has O'Connell listed as author but the content being cited is from the "BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH BY WM. GREER HARRISON"
  • The intro sentence is very good.
  • The intro section should be expanded to include a more substantial summary of his life.
  • Per MOS:INTRO, information in the lead section should not appear in the lead if it is not covered in the remainder of the article. The grand-nephew sentence only appears in the lead and is not part of the main article. Please include this into one of the main sections.
Well, I was overcome by the availability of a couple of references that I had not previously noticed, so I expanded the article with a bunch of new bits. I reorganized it into more headings and expanded the intro to two paragraphs. I inserted the grand-nephew/grand-uncle relation early in the article text. The third citation has been changed to show Harrison as author of the biographical sketch within the larger book of O'Connell's poetry. I believe that I have addressed your points.
