Biography Section
Good Bio?
Are there sentences with clear sources for the data points?
Does the bio agree with the data points?
If a marriage is mentioned in the bio is it also in the Data section?
Good Sources? There are plenty of primary sources for passengers and children and good secondary sources. Ancestry trees, Millenium file, Yates Pub., Find a grave indexes, Find a Grave without stones are not acceptable.
Children list (sourced)? Each profile of a person who had children should have a list of those children at the end, (with some identifying fact). One secondary source for the list is fine. Their profiles will have better sourcing.
Are the children attached the ones on the list? Do the facts agree?
