Prose

[edit]
  • Citations in lead are unnecessary
  • Too many short paragraphs
  • Many duplicate links
  • Don't put a space between a citation and the previous period
  • Please use British English or American English, not both.
  • First sentence in lead does not should neutral.
  • Last two paragraphs in the lead are just three quotes.--Tomandjerry211 (alt) (talk) 21:11, 8 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Referencing

[edit]
  • Needs a lot more citations for unsourced facts
  • Is citation #22 reliable?
  • Two dead links.

All for now--Tomandjerry211 (alt) (talk) 20:49, 8 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Tomandjerry211 (alt): Thanks for the review. I made a number of changes in light of your comments, and have a couple of questions:
  • I rewrote the first paragraph of the lead section, so it should be OK now. Yes, the second and third paragraphs are quotes, but I don't know where to include them other than the lead section. Why are citations unnecessary in the lead?
  • I also merged a number of the paragraphs, and added some more content here and there. I removed one space between a period and a citation (if there are more I must have missed them). The article is written in British English, which parts are in American English?
  • I removed citation #22 and replaced it with more reliable sources. What particular facts need a citation? Which are the dead links because I didn't find them after a quick look?

I added more citations, and changed the American English into British English. I'll work on the remaining missing citations and the lead section. Xwejnusgozo (talk) 18:29, 9 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment from a passing editor: although normally leads don't need citations, direct quotes in the lead should be cited; the citations are currently correctly in place. Hchc2009 (talk) 16:56, 11 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I just rewrote the lead section, adding a summary of the main body. I still need to add the last few missing citations. Xwejnusgozo (talk) 14:08, 15 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Tomandjerry211 (alt): I added the remaining citations. Is the article OK now? Xwejnusgozo (talk) 11:23, 16 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
