From the bibliography and footnotes 1c and 2c look good. I quibble below, and one quibble is more serious.

The footnotes could be separated from the bibliography with a title of some kind, consult other Kentucky governor FAs for style examples?

Done. I adopted this style for articles where I have explanatory notes as well, since that makes "Notes" or "Footnotes" ambiguous. See Richard Hawes for an example.

Publishers with non-obvious publication locations should have their publication locations inserted

Done.

Year of publication required: Cotterill, R. S.. Dictionary of American Biography Supplements 1-2

I've given it my best guess based on WorldCat. I actually accessed the article via an electronic database, but wasn't sure how to cite it that way.

I complain about this one everytime fn1: "Kentucky Governor Edwin Porch Morrow", corporately authored works should use the corporate author as the author line. Its non-intuitive that this is a short citation as it lacks an author or a paragraph / section / page reference.

Sorry. I haven't touched some of these since they became GA, which was before you started making this comment. You'll be pleased to see that I am doing it in my current and future expansions. See Bert T. Combs for an example.

No worries! Its obvious that I'm going to read a lot of 19th and 20th Century Mid-West Governors, and 10th and 11th Century Western European Bishops! :)

In your bibliography, the Hay work is a chapter by Hay in a book, right? Can you indicate the chapter by its title? The bibliographic reference is confusing at the moment "Hay, Melba Porter (2004). Lowell H. Harrison. ed. Kentucky's Governors. "

Yes, I've added the chapter name.

In relation to 1c I am concerned that this is not a signed Tertiary by an expert: ^ a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z Harrison in The Kentucky Encyclopedia, p. 655

Added chapter title. It is signed, as are nearly all the articles in The Kentucky Encylopedia. I think the ones that aren't are supposed to be assumed written by John Kleber, the primary editor.

Could you please outline Harrison's expertise, cite the article used by title, and assure me that Harrison wrote the article in question over a by-line, rather than just being assigned authorship because its an unsigned author in an edited tertiary?

Harrison has his own (albeit short) wiki article. If there were a Mount Rushmore of modern Kentucky historians, he'd probably be on it with Thomas D. Clark, James Klotter, and John Kleber. He wrote a bunch of the articles in The Kentucky Encyclopedia. Sadly, last I talked to someone who knew him, he was in poor health.

Hang in there; I'm getting better on including this info the first time. Let me know if there are other issues. Acdixon ^{(talk • contribs • count)} 16:10, 19 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Actually... that was it this time! With Tertiaries, especially heavily used ones, I just like to make sure. Fifelfoo (talk) 20:19, 19 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
