B class review
editThis will be a B class article when the following issues are addressed. Please ping me when you are done. Thanks. Djmaschek (talk) 01:46, 19 May 2022 (UTC)
- The second (and last) sentence in the lede states, "His younger brother Charles Lucas (1613–1648) served in the Royalist army during the Wars of the Three Kingdoms and was executed after the capture of Colchester in 1648." This article is about Thomas Lucas, not Charles Lucas. Therefore, this sentence should be removed from the lede. It is perfectly okay to mention his brother's fate under the Career section.
- The lede should have several sentences summarizing Thomas Lucas' career.
- The infobox states that he died on 1 October 1649, but the narrative says that he died, "before October 1649". Which one is correct? Please cite 1 October if that is the correct date.
- The Personal details section and infobox have many examples of using the short dash (e.g. 1606-1671). For date and page ranges, it is standard practice to use the "en dash" (e.g. 1606–1671). I don't know who made this rule, but I've been taken to task by reviewers for not using it. Please use the "en dash" in this and future articles.
- @Robinvp11: Please see the comments above. Djmaschek (talk) 20:43, 21 May 2022 (UTC)
- @Djmaschek: Now done :) Robinvp11 (talk) 17:41, 23 May 2022 (UTC)
- B class. Corrections were satisfactory. There were still some missing long dashes, but those were fixed. Djmaschek (talk) 21:44, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
