Comment: Thanks @Whispyhistory and thanks @Philafrenzy Have expanded intro as suggested and reduced subheadings. References now edited. Is further editing of references needed? Papamac (talk) 15:19, 12 March 2018 (UTC)

Ref 1 missing full publications details. Ref 2 page numbers missing. Ref 6 missing date retrieved or accessed. Ref 11 has ambiguous date. Ref 14 has wrong and missing details. See what is in the window, not what is auto reported by Google. Philafrenzy (talk) 17:23, 12 March 2018 (UTC) Thanks. ref 1 online only. Refs 2 and 6 fixed. Not sure what required refs 11 and 14.Papamac (talk) 22:03, 12 March 2018 (UTC)

1 was published in an academic journal as well as online so needs those details. You also need to tag it (subscription required)

14 is missing joint author, title does not match, publisher is not the one you say, give year only for a book. Philafrenzy (talk) 22:41, 12 March 2018 (UTC)

The title of the Hull book was still wrong and the spelling of one of the author's names incorrect. I have fixed both. (more attention to detail on this sort of thing please) Philafrenzy (talk) 08:52, 14 March 2018 (UTC)
