(note that as of July 2018, some information from this source is used in the article, but this source has much more information yet to be used to expand the article, especially the history section)

Vanity[edit]

I think I fixed the tone of the first sentence to be more neutral. I think there is a little more work to be done on the current edition section to make it NPOV and get the statements sourced. Dpv 15:25, 2 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed the 'citation needed' comments. I see that you need to cite where a quote came from, but actually the quote here comes from a longer quote used earlier in the article so hopefully it's okay! Thanks for your help with the article. --Fountain 14:14, 17 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I see where you're coming from. I thought the comments about what will happen in the 2007 edition would have come from a source other than the 2006 edition, but I could be wrong. Dpv 18:39, 17 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Co-editors[edit]

Worldcat lists 2 co-editors during the tenure of J.S. Keltie (1883-1926) - I.P.A. Renwick 1895-1910 and M. Epstein 1913-1926, who then took over as editor in 1927. Should Mr. Renwick also be listed and Mortimer Epstein's dates expanded? Also S.H. Steinberg and John Paxton shared editorial responsibility for the 1968/1969 and 1969/1970 editions as well.

Some proposed changes[edit]

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

The text listed under the subheading "Current Edition" refers to the 149th edition printed in 2012. This is no longer correct - and the first sentence should read: The 154th edition of The Statesman's Yearbook was published in October 2017. The citation [1] for this sentence should also be updated to: The Statesman's Yearbook 2018, Palgrave Macmillan UK. The reference should be hyperlinked to: https://www.palgrave.com/gb/book/9781137508522. 202.55.67.202 (talk) 06:05, 23 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
