Talk:John Ormsby (translator)

The other John Ormsby
John Ormsby (Pittsburgh) has quite a long pedigree, and I suspect that he is actually related to John Ormsby, the translator, but rather distantly. See: The Ormsby Family of Pittsburgh, Penn. by Oliver Ormsby Page, 1892.Pustelnik (talk) 00:59, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

Failed verification tag
The article has a "Failed verification" tag dated August 2018 for what is currently reference 3:

''He wrote,[3][not in citation given] for example: “Never was great work so neglected by its author. That it was written carelessly, hastily, and by fits and starts, was not always his fault, but it seems clear he never read what he sent to the press.”''

The tag is wrong. The text is indeed in the citation given. I have removed the tag, but I don't know how I can prevent it from appearing again.--Oz1cz (talk) 19:13, 30 October 2018 (UTC)


 * It turns out that the reference link to gutenberg.org fails the first time you try it. You need click a dialog box on the target page and the follow the link again. Strange. No wonder it was tagged "Failed verfication".--Oz1cz (talk) 15:15, 31 October 2018 (UTC)
