Colon changed to semicolon
Re this edit, which replaced a colon with a semicolon. The semicolon changes the sense of the sentence: "Bengough told of how he took up publishing" introduces the whole of what follows, which is multiple sentences. The semicolon connects "Bengough told of how he took up publishing" with "he had made ... the printer Rolph Bros.", which makes no sense. This edit degrades the text and should be reverted.

 * I would say that the semi-colon is the right punctuation mark to use here as all the following sentence breakers are commas. Colons, to me, are used to introduce something that follows preceding text, like a quotation, example or a list. Whereas I would use a semicolon to join two independent clauses; to separate main clauses joined by a conjunctive adverb, or to separate items in a list that already uses commas.

 * What relation do these particular sentences have that would make sense to join them? There is no logic to it.  A period would make sense; a colon even more in the context; a semicolon, none. Curly Turkey 🍁 ¡gobble! 10:51, 27 March 2016 (UTC)
