Preparing Draft:James Hyndes Gillies for mainspace

[edit]

I have just spent 20 minutes working on the bio. It still contains far too much discussion of the background to his work and there are a number of unreferenced paragraphs. You will see from the edit history that I removed two complete sections, neither of which made any mention of Gillies, one because he was not alive in the 1850s. Please heed the advice of the reviewers and prune more extraneous material before resubmitting. I have watchlisted the page and will monitor and assist your progress.--Oronsay (talk) 02:20, 1 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
