John Dee edit
Review commentary edit
This article is full of problems that I feel compromise its FA status:
- "Reputation and significance" is very choppy, with lots of short paragraphs.
- Works an Artifacts are very listy.
- Many of the references are not formatted properly.
- I removed a "literary and culture references" section that was nothing but a bullet list of anyone who's ever name-dropped him. Pure trivia.
I initiated a discussion on the talk page last week, and informed a couple WikiProjects, but so far, nothing has changed. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 06:04, 23 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Small point: link titled 'patrimony' takes me to 'Property'.
