Review section edit
This is one of the oldest listings at WP:FARGIVEN, noted since 16 June 2020 for sourcing and comprehensiveness issues. It's main and only significant contributor is vanished. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 18:36, 24 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comments by Indy beetle I just graduated from college and thus my excellent library, JSTOR, etc. access has been lost, but I'll see what I can offer. @Nick-D:, you might be able to help some here. The main problem I see at the outset is the reliance on J R T Wood's work, which is published by Trafford Publishing, a self-publishing service. -Indy beetle (talk) 20:47, 24 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Indy beetle I dropped out and because I'm technically on a leave of absence, I still have all my library accesses until 2025 probably. Let me know if I can get anything for you! WP:TWL also has a lot of stuff. (t · c) buidhe 20:32, 25 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Anyone with full access to this book, which Buidhe has already made note of on the talk page, would be of great assistance in revising this article. -Indy beetle (talk) 06:07, 26 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Another problem with this article is the main photo. It's a Getty Images file, and is thus a direct violation of our fair use policy at WP:NFCI, since there are only a few exceptional cases when it is acceptable to use a commercial photo agency file. -Indy beetle (talk) 06:12, 26 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Move to FARC, sourcing and comprehensive issues remain. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 12:48, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Move to FARC, per User talk:Nick-D#Needs to go to FAR? I'm more concerned about sourcing than comprehensiveness, but there are unresolved issues here. Hog Farm Talk 18:42, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Move to FARC per above (t · c) buidhe 09:55, 7 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

- Delist lack of improvement. (t · c) buidhe 17:28, 14 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

- Delist, issues remain. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 04:20, 19 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
