Philafrenzy Whispyhistory I'm concerned about the hook support sentence in the article. The support sentence is The Nation & Athenaeum, chairman John Maynard Keynes and described as "the mouthpiece of Bloomsbury liberalism",[10] was published from No. 38 in the 1920s.[11] It eventually merged and became the New Statesman[10]. I couldn't get to source 11, but source 10 says 1931: The New Statesman merges with the Nation, the mouthpiece of Bloomsbury liberalism. The great economist J M Keynes becomes chairman. On 28 February 1931, the first edition of New Statesman and Nation (incorporating the Athenaeum) is published. Source 10 doesn't say anything about Keynes in the 1920s? (I can't see source 11, maybe it's cleared up there?) —valereee (talk) 13:11, 10 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It was in the 17 September 1927 edition where the editor, chairman etc was stated. I have added a ref immediately after that fact. I can't find that exact page now in Google books but it was in full page view, not snippet, so it is definitely correct. The NS's statement about 1931 is when he became chairman of the new merged magazine. He was also chairman of The Nation in 1927. Philafrenzy (talk) 13:37, 10 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
