References

[edit]

Someone has gone through the references section here with a sledgehammer [1]. Firstly, the work parameter in {{cite news}} is for a body of work in the publication. Secondly, you don't just remove the publisher's name - that's actually very important information. Thirdly, you don't remove html entities like ndash. Thirdly, the "work" is not the publisher. - Chris.sherlock (talk) 07:38, 4 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Jonesey95 thank you for the update! - Chris.sherlock (talk) 19:08, 4 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
You're welcome. It looked like you were struggling with the many, many parameters available in the cite templates, which can be confusing. In {{cite news}}, the work (publication) belongs in |work=, and the newspaper's "section" (at least that's the common US term) goes in |department= (not a term I use myself, but that's what the template uses). – Jonesey95 (talk) 20:51, 4 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Cleanup notes

[edit]

Nicely done, but a few points:

  • Is it necessary to include an entire column by the subject? Perhaps just a few sentences would be suffucient.
  • Why does the being made an officer of the OBE require nearly ten sources?

Fair points, I’ll cut this down tonight and cull the references :-) Chris.sherlock (talk) 04:46, 6 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
CaptainEek fixed - Chris.sherlock (talk) 10:16, 6 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Long quote about Miles Franklin

[edit]

I find the quote fascinating personally, but I suspect that it is problematic under WP:LONGQUOTE and WP:OR.--Grahame (talk) 03:56, 6 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I’ll have it cut down later tonight when I get home :-) - Chris.sherlock (talk) 05:00, 6 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Grahamec done! - Chris.sherlock (talk) 10:17, 6 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

mdash and ndash convention

[edit]

When I started this article, I decided to make it easier for me to see ndash and mdashes using the html entity encoding. As I wrote this article initially the convention is that we remain with what you start with, at least for things like this. I have put back the entity encodings, please keep them this way.

Also, there is no need to change the month in {{Use dmy dates}} so I've put this back to what it was before. - Chris.sherlock (talk) 04:55, 12 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@MB: can you explain why you made these changes reverting the entity encodings? - Chris.sherlock (talk) 05:43, 12 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
