Fixing issues edit

Latest comment: 10 years ago3 comments1 person in discussion

Given that I haven't given up on eventually getting this to GA, I will list the things I have resolved from the above review:

Find A Grave removed
Photocopy of original article (posted on OlyBlog) found here
Notability is established in numerous newspaper sources and others

Thanks, Mat ty.007 12:04, 1 November 2013 (UTC)Reply

Expansion, more sources
In response to the "gamebreaker" of what he did; he wasn't in the big tent, he was in the sideshow (article now reflects this)
I think size isn't an issue, given that it is now 5730 bytes (another history article, Old Jock, is 4006 bytes)

I think that I have now addressed all the issues which were set out above. Thanks, Mat ty.007 14:22, 2 November 2013 (UTC)Reply

So 175 more words have been added. Mat ty.007 12:02, 3 November 2013 (UTC)Reply

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to 2 external links on Clarence Chesterfield Howerton. Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:

Attempted to fix sourcing for http://www.mortythedog.com/2011/08/major-mite.html
Attempted to fix sourcing for http://www.redditlurker.com/pics/Post/t3_w00w6

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at {{Sourcecheck}}).
