Vague text seeming quite definite
This extract lacks precision: "Spencer had been appointed a trustee of the public library in 1895. When Sir Frederick McCoy died in May 1899 he became honorary director of the national museum." One presumes that "the public library" refers to that of the colony of Victoria, and similarly for "the national museum". A supporting citation would also increase confidence in the stated facts. To avoid a nonsensical misinterpretation, I'm going to change "he became ..." to "Spencer became...". yoyo (talk) 08:18, 20 November 2022 (UTC)
