• Hi Iainmacintyre, do you know anything about the threadinburgh website? Is it a reliable source?--Llewee (talk) 17:07, 22 August 2024 (UTC)

• • Hi Llewee Yes, I regard it as a usually reliable source. For this article they cite contemporary accounts from two local newspapers and include an image from the National Archives. The evidence is supported by contemporary photographs. Papamac (talk) 19:40, 22 August 2024 (UTC)

• New enough, long enough. Article is in a decent condition. I would suggest changing "local citizens" to " local people" as the former could indicate British citizens which presumably they weren't. The quote is interested and the reliability has been discussed. QPQ done. Llewee (talk) 22:48, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
