Huron Tract

This peer review discussion has been closed.
I've listed this article for peer review because…the Huron Tract is an important historical enigma of Canadian history. It's neither an event, nor a person or object...but it is closely related to the Canada Company. I'd like to hit the right note with the discussion on this topic.

Further, it is the best concrete example of the colonial government cessation of Native land and would do very, very well with some First Nation input.

I'd also like some help with the infobox which is way too huge. I've used the infobox that seems appropriate, but either I need a different infobox or help with resizing.

Comments by Panyd^{The muffin is not subtle} 15:15, 5 September 2010 (UTC) This looks like it could be a great article, and it's obvious that you know a lot about the subject, but before I could possibly go into an in-depth review of this there are two things which would need to be sorted out.

• Just as a first point, this article needs a gallery. All of the photographs/paintings appear to be very relevant but they're cluttering up the article at the moment and it doesn't look good. A gallery at the bottom would fix that and look very tidy. That would help with the infobox issue as well.

• The article also appears to be rather wordy. It looks wonderful but what do you mean when you say The Huron Tract was an 'instrument'. I don't even know what it was let alone how it could be used as an instrument! How does it relate the to Reign of Terror? What is the connection there? What is the first nation island? I know you have in-wiki links but putting the subject of the article in context is very important in the lead and it doesn't get much clearer to a complete lay-person like me later on either. This shouldn't be too difficult for someone with such an obvious depth of knowledge to do!

I'll happily review again after these things have been done!
