Hi Espresso Addict, review follows: article moved to mainspace on 4 January; article is of good length; article is well written; article is cited inline to reliable sources throughout (though citations could be improved by using specific page numbers); I can't access all of the sources but I found no copyright violations from the ones I spot checked; hook is interesting, mentioned in the article and backed up by the citation; a QPQ has been carried out; looks good to me - Dumelow (talk) 11:40, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Dumelow, thanks for the prompt review. Is there a way of using specific pages in a journal article within the citation template? I can't quickly see one, and I don't think my ageing brain is up to learning an entirely new citation method. Espresso Addict (talk) 11:58, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
- Hello Espresso Addict. The two methods I use are to separate out the citations to books and journals into a bibliography and use template:Harvnb to cite authors, year and page numbers (as I did at Temporary gentlemen) or to keep the citations as they are and use template:rp after the ref tag to specify a page number (as I did at Corps of Invalids (Great Britain)). I find the latter method easier to retrofit to an existing article, though perhaps less elegant - Dumelow (talk) 12:10, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
