Talk:William F. Wells

More sources
, here are some sources with useful biographical information to replace the predatory journal article. These are just from a quick search, there's lots more on Newspapers.com and the Internet Archive that I don't have time to go through at the moment. Thanks for writing the article. I'll try to work on it a bit over the next few days. Spicy (talk) 12:26, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

 * Thank you very much for finding these! And for looking out for the predatory journal; I wasn't sure what to do there (my usual field doesn't really attract predatory journals, since there's not much money in 18thC literary history) and I appreciate someone else stepping in. The oyster stuff is fascinating. I don't have access to Newspapers.com, so I would particularly appreciate if you were able to add that information at some point. ~ oulfis 🌸 (talk) 21:40, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
 * I may not get to it today but I will soon! By the way, you can apply for free access to newspapers.com (and a ton of other sources) through The Wikipedia Library, if you're interested. I'm sure you would qualify. Spicy (talk) 21:43, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Thank you, I will look into that! And of course there's no deadline on wikipedia :) I also want to note another source I just found but won't dig into today, a useful overview of the impact of Wells' oyster farming (just so I can find the link again later). ~ oulfis 🌸 (talk) 21:48, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
