Show career

[edit]

I've added details of the only two shows which mention Old Jock specifically. If anyone can find any further details, please post them here with the locations for citations as I'd like to put this up as a Good Article shortly as I doubt any major information is out there that isn't already detailed.

This article is short but is very close to meeting the good article criteria. I made some copyedits that I believe improved the prose. I have the following concerns that will need to be addressed before the good article nomination can be passed:

  • In the infobox, what does the "relative age" field mean? From the link, I don't think "12 years" is correct, but I'm also not sure how it is useful.
  • File:Old Jock.jpg: The source listed on this picture is from 1986. Is that the date of first publication? If so, this picture might be copyrighted despite its age. Can you find some more information to lock down when this picture was first published?
No luck on the origin of this photo. Therefore, I've removed it from the article (replaced it in the infobox with the drawing) and also started a images for deletion on Commons for it. Once deleted, I'll put it up on here as fair use until such a time that the original place and date of publishing is known. Miyagawa (talk) 15:06, 24 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • File:Jock tartar and nettle.jpg: The date on the picture is 1902, but the book it claims to be from was published in 1895 according to the footnotes in the article. Could you check which one is correct and fix accordingly?
