"What?" "Gibberish", etc

Some good recent edits by my learned friend Sitush; however:

Banerjee held office in the Allahabad High Court from 1893 to 1923<ref>Sri Amitav Banerji, "[http://www.allahabadhighcourt.in/event/SriPramodaCBanerjeeABanerji.pdf Sir Pramoda Charan Banerjee]" (PDF), Allahabad High Court.</ref><ref>Sri S. P. Sinha, "[http://www.allahabadhighcourt.in/event/SomeEngJIAdmiredSPSinha.pdf Some English judges whom I admired]" (PDF), Allahabad High Court.</ref> and was the second Indian judge after [[Syed Mahmood]].{{clarify|reason=second what? why? where? this is gibberish}}

I believe that this means that he was, chronologically, the second judge of Indian (rather than British or otherwise imported) descent to serve at the Allahabad High Court.

With Mahmood,{{who}} John Edge{{who}} and others, he "made indelible imprints greatness as Judges on the pages of [Allahabad High Court’s] law reports".<ref>Nasirullah Beg, "[http://www.allahabadhighcourt.in/event/Welcome_Address_NU_Beg25-11-66.pdf Welcome Address]" (PDF). Delivered 25 November 1966. Allahabad High Court.</ref>

Mahmood (who has his own article in en:WP) has been identified in the previous sentence. Edge is named, if not fully described, in the cited source.

I have no Indian or legal background, and only skimread the sources, in a quick effort to give this article (about somebody I'd never heard of just 24 hours ago) a second lease of life after my removal from it of swathes of plagiarized material. I may very well have got something wrong.

(Now, the part that I'd agree is gibberishy is "indelible imprints greatness".) -- Hoary (talk) 00:21, 11 August 2014 (UTC)Reply

Well, if that is what it means then maybe "he was the second Indian to be appointed a judge, the first being Mahmood." If we can't pinpoint who Edge is then perhaps we shouldn't mention him (but I'll see what I can dig up). - Sitush (talk) 10:12, 11 August 2014 (UTC)Reply
Thank you; I've edited accordingly. I'd leave in Edge even if we can't identify him; though of course if you can identify him, so much the better. -- Hoary (talk) 10:31, 11 August 2014 (UTC)Reply
Here's our man: "Hon'ble Sir John Edge (1886-1898)", among the "Chief Justices of the High Court of Judicature at Allahabad (1866-1901)". -- Hoary (talk) 10:40, 11 August 2014 (UTC)Reply
Yeah, thanks. He's also got an entry in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography. I'll create an article later today. - Sitush (talk) 12:27, 11 August 2014 (UTC)Reply

Cite format

edit

I'm not fussed what template we use but please could we consider using one of the cite templates in this article rather than the open-ended style that dominates at present? {{sfnp}}, {{cite book}} or whatever would do: it will aid in enforcing consistency as/when expansion occurs (and it will). - Sitush (talk) 12:22, 11 August 2014 (UTC)Reply

Sure, go ahead. Personally I dislike them, but I understand their benefits and when other people use one kind of template in a given article with at least moderate care then I follow along. -- Hoary (talk) 14:06, 11 August 2014 (UTC)Reply
