682:"The Siwanoy no doubt ate all varieties of fish and shellfish" Saying "no doubt" is editorializing which is not in the source, nor does it talk about "all varieties". Just stick to the facts presented in the source. Also, on the "broad in its coverage" front, you've zeroed in on some details, but skipped the more important big-picture, which is that they they were mostly hunter-gatherers, but also did some agriculture, planting maize, beans, and squash. There's a lot of information in the Anderson book. You don't have to include all of it, but I'd like to see significantly more coverage of the major points. As a nit, you've got this cited to page 5, but it's really on pages 6-7.
794:, which is great. I think it's fundamentally a well-written article that just needs some cleanup, especially around the sourcing, to get to GA status. If you think it's going to be ready for me to take another look at soon, that's cool. If not, I could put this on hold for a week. Alternatively, if you're having problems making progress, it's not a terrible thing to fail the review and then you're free to work on it without the tyranny of deadlines, and bring it back for another fresh review at a time that's convenient to you. Let me know how you'd like to proceed. --

677:"men would often remove all hair but a long forelock", this is certainly verified by the source, but the source also talks about this being a "mark of status". I'm guessing (but it's only a guess) that this means different men would be entitled to wear their hair in different ways to indicate status. You should do some more digging to find out the real story there.
519:"extended from Hell Gate to Norwalk, Connecticut, and as far inland as White Plains, New York, and became hotly contested", the repetition of "and" is awkward. I think you can also leave out "New York" after White Plains (if anybody's not sure which state it's in, they can click the link). So, "...and as far inland as White Plains; it became ...".

609:" New Netherland authorities did not recognize his title. They accused the New Englanders of continued encroachment upon Dutch territory". Combine these two sentences, perhaps as, "New Netherland authorities did not recognize his title, accusing the New Englanders of continued encroachment upon their territory".
741:"the British Navy, supported by a militia invasion force consisting largely of City Island colonists and led by Pell himself, entered New Amsterdam and forced Peter Stuyvesant, the Dutch Governor of New Netherland, to surrender." That's cited to a page on the Town of Pelham's website, which is probably not a

In the infobox, it's frustrating that when you click on the image, the full-size map doesn't have the dots for the settlement locations. Is there some way to fix this? It's also odd that the base map includes lots of modern-day details like airports and highway exit numbers. A more

I should note that the reason I picked this article to review is that I live in the area. Many of the events that are discussed here took place within walking distance of my house. I'm thus familiar with much of the history (although there's plenty in the article that's new to me).
814:
I haven't heard back from you, so I'm afraid I'm going to have to wrap up this review as a failed nomination. As I noted above, this is a good topic, and the article is mostly well written, so I think another nomination could be successful if the sources are cleaned up. --
550:"each with a sagamore or chieftain" This could be read as having a chieftain being an alternative to having a sagamore. I think what you're trying to say is that sagamore is another word for chieftian. If so, "each with a sagamore (chieftain)" would be clearer.

aspects. Before I do that, however, please work through this and make sure everything is sourced. There's a few places where citations appear to be missing. Once you've had a chance to work on that, ping me and I'll proceed with the rest of the review.

I'm starting this review. My plan is to do two major passes through the article, first for prose, the second to verify the references. In general, all my comments will be suggestions which you can accept or reject as you see fit.
545:"Like the greater Lenape, the Siwanoy generally had black hair and brown eyes." This is a physical description, not a cultural one. It's odd that it goes under culture, but I'll admit I'm not sure what else to do with it.
574:; you should only link a term the first time it's used, and sagamore is already linked earlier, so just unlink it here. Plus, ", and he took John White..." would read better as, ", taking John White..."

584:"involved in war with the Dutch in 1640, which lasted five years". I think you want, "involved in A war with...". And maybe rewrite the whole thing as, "were at war with the Dutch from 1640 to 1645".
771:
You ended up with, "were at war with the Dutch from 1640 to 1645, which lasted five years.". With the start and end years, you don't need to have the "which lasted five years" part.

I'll take another break here. You've got a fair amount of work to do reviewing references, eliminating those that are not reliable, and finding replacements that are.
589:"This period is often referred to as Kieft's War", the linked-to article says the war was 1643–1645, which is at odds with what you say here. That should be resolved.
