Josephus Nelson Larned[edit]
- ... that American librarian Josephus Nelson Larned (pictured) sat at a desk opposite Mark Twain when they both wrote for the Buffalo Express?

Article is long enough and new enough and adequately referenced. Found no copyvios via Duplication Detector, or in the portion of texts I read; most of the sources are offline but can AGF. Can AGF on the hook, but the specific source for the hook does not follow the sentence used for the hook. 3 sources are listed for the paragraph, and sources 4 and 5 do not appear to be the relevant ones, as they don't mention the location of the desks (at least not the portions I found) so I assume it is based on source 1. If so, that source should be used to follow the sentence the hook is based on. Rlendog (talk) 18:13, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
- Sorry, that was very sloppy of me, I've done enough DYKs to know better. I've added a cite, but more specifically it's the second paragraph of the "Buffalo Express". in the The Routledge Encyclopedia of Mark Twain. I've also updated the url to point at the correct page number in that book in Google Books. Gamaliel (talk) 16:07, 28 April 2014 (UTC)
