Recent clean up

I have removed The Independent review because, as the only reference, I do not believe that an article whose sole reference pertains to a controversy section can be reconciled with neutral point of view policy, and by extension and more importantly, the biographies of living persons policy. In addition, it is unacceptable to present Frank Mclynn's view that Seward is "ultramontane" as fact, because opinions should not be presented as facts. The only way the review could be included is if the whole article is fleshed out with balanced references, and lots of them.

The Daily Telegraph review has been removed because listing it in its entireity would be a copyvio, however if the number of the page on which the interview appears is known, then it would be available for use as a reference. WilliamH (talk) 22:36, 9 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Bibliography

I have commenced a tidy-up of the Bibliography section using cite templates. Capitalization and punctuation follow standard cataloguing rules in AACR2 and RDA, as much as Wikipedia templates allow it. Feel free to continue. Sunwin1960 (talk) 06:31, 21 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
