date contradiction

[edit]
  • The poem's second appearance … on 27 October 1841. Afterwards, it appeared … including The Australasian Chronicle (16 October 1841).
Nice article, although something is awry with the sequence. cygnis insignis 18:49, 12 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I also corrected some punctuation to logical quotation, so called, and think the MOS supports that. Revert it that was already considered. cygnis insignis 18:59, 12 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the corrections, Cygnis insignis; the edits you made were quite helpful to the article imo so I personally certainly don't have a problem with any of them. As for the date contradiction, I believe I've fixed it now; I just omitted the word second for that part and moved it to the rest of the list of publications the poem appeared in. It looks like the source specified that there were two very slightly different versions of the poem and listed the publications of the second version after the first, which may have been what confused me and caused the contradiction. Thanks for catching that and letting me know!--SkyGazer 512 Oh no, what did I do this time? 21:32, 12 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Cool. I would be tempted to abbreviate the reprinting to periods, the contemporary and the current with one or two appearances in between. The anthologies titles add some authoritative weight to it's importance in literature, but it becomes a little sea of italic for the reader and I would footnote the titles. That is just my take, merely an incidental comment in passing. cygnis insignis 03:57, 13 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
