Talk:John Cargill Brough

Long quote
This article is a good start. However, instead of the long quote that takes up most of the length of the article, you should write the biography in your own words, using the quoted source as one of your sources. See WP:NOTMIRROR. I haven't bothered to fix the formatting of your cites on this article, because it is outside the scope of my usual WP interest, but I note that they should begin with the author's last name. Please see WP:CITE. -- Ssilvers (talk) 02:59, 5 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Your edits were a big improvement, and so I did a clean-up, re-org and copy-edit. Please check to make sure that the right references are given to support the right text.  There is some new information here that probably should also be added to his brothers' bios, if you have the time to check back and forth, but there may be too much about his father, some of which could go in a footnote.  -- Ssilvers (talk) 15:51, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
