5x expanded by Ceradon (talk). Self nominated at 23:20, 3 January 2015 (UTC).
Expanded 5x, easily long enough. Article is well-written, and I have no reason to doubt the veracity of the numerous sources employed. Hook's fine length-wise (I'd go with the first one), and cited (see §5.4). QPQ all sorted, all images are public domain, as you'd expect on a 19th-century topic. Brilliant work, Template:Ping, it's certainly no mean feat to expand a ten-year-old article fivefold, let alone to this sort of standard, and you should definitely considering taking it to GAN, at a minimum. (For what it's worth, I discovered quite recently that Thomas Cocke, who built the original Malvern Hill, is a very, very distant ancestor of mine, which is why this article leapt out at me.)

. Ancestor built the Malvern house? Wow! I want to visit the battlefield someday. Though I think the Malvern house has been destroyed or something like that, no? In regards to the GA, well, yeah: I have nominated it for GA already. You're free to check that out (review it even
) but I'm trying to get it to FA before July 1. At that point, I'll be able to nominate it for TFA. I'm gonna take this one far. Thanks, --ceradon (talk • contribs) 23:23, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
