I've listed this article (Blackford County Courthouse) for peer review because I have upgraded its footnotes with the goal of achieving Good Article or Featured Article status—depending on the thoughts of the reviewers.

Comments
- Lead image caption doesn't need a full stop.
- " Blackford County courthouse" or " Blackford County Courthouse"? be consistent throughout.
- I will change all to "Blackford County Courthouse" to be consistent with another Wikipedia article, Hudson County Courthouse. TwoScars (talk) 15:31, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
- "One of the more magnificent buildings in the region..." borderline POV.
- "that eventually became named " for some reason this jars me, maybe "that was eventually named..."?
- Will work on that. Although the community was called Hartford, it was not official. Eventually, it became officially named Hartford, and was later changed to Hartford City. TwoScars (talk) 15:31, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
- Changed to "The small cluster of log cabins called Hartford....", and added a note that explains Hartford becoming Hartford City. TwoScars (talk)
- "was not organized " I'm not sure I know what this means (I'm Brit so that may explain my ignorance?)
- Will work on that too. Although the county was created by state government, no county government officials were appointed or elected. It took over a year (and more effort by state officials) before governing officials were in place. TwoScars (talk) 15:31, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
- Changed to "no county government was organized until..." TwoScars (talk) 19:31, 15 April 2012 (UTC)
- "Historic Marker on south lawn of Blackford County courthouse." no capital M required, nor a full stop.
- "Total proposed ..." why not "The total proposed..."?
- "Total cost ..." ditto.
- "The area began a period of growth ..." odd sounding, maybe "The area experienced a period of growth"?
- "Commemorative plaque inside Blackford County courthouse." no full stop required.
- "Later in October" I don't think you need "Later" but if you insist, I think you need a comma after it.
- "with gas included" what does that mean?
- "a 165 foot " I would expect this to be hyphenated.
- "The western side of the Blackford County courthouse." no need for the full stop. Check all other captions which are incomplete sentences - they don't need full stops either.
- I don't think you need to link "window".
- "(See south side photo herein.)" not required.
- "A clock can " A clock or The clock?
- Again, "(See photo herein.)" x2 no need.
- Headings - a lot of capitals in here, does "Memorial" really need capitalising in the heading when it's not capitalised in the text?
- "Blackford Lodge #106 " don't use # to mean number in prose.
- Ref 55 needs to be formatted per usual for online links.
- Second external link needs an en-dash rather than a hyphen per WP:DASH.
