Spouses
editExcellent piece of work. I notice, however, that only Parry's first spouse is being displayed in the infobox, but I can see that his second wife Anne is included in the code. It looks like there's an error somewhere but I can't see where. (Might Anne also be worthy of her own article and therefore a redlink?). —Noswall59 (talk) 10:02, 31 May 2024 (UTC).
- Good eye -- that's me "fixing" the template (going from hlist to plainlist) but forgetting to change the syntax. I've redlinked Anne Parry: she was an interesting character and a serious classicist in her own right, though seems to have ended her academic career when she married Adam.

- No worries. By the way, I have just created an article for W. R. Johnson. It's a very basic stub right now, but there's plenty of scope for expanding it. His work is well outside of my specialism unfortunately. --Noswall59 (talk) 17:14, 1 June 2024 (UTC).
- Ah, nice one -- I've stuck it on my watchlist. UndercoverClassicist T·C 17:39, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

Parryitis, lol. Good article, certainly eligible and extremely well sourced, with no evidence of copyvio — I have some sort of premonition of yet another classicist FAC in our futures. QPQ is good, and the source checks out as well, and is correctly cited in-article. Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 03:29, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
