Review


 * I don't have Fletcher's book, and haven't ordered it. The main source for the article is the piece in The Times which was clearly drawn from Fletcher's book, so I took that to be the most authoritative source for the year 1881 as I thought she and The Times must be right. There are multiple earlier sources that give slightly different years for the event, including Brewers, but I took them all to be less reliable than the recent biography. We could certainly get the book and someone should but that might have to wait until the article is expanded to GA. As The Times clearly drew their article from Fletcher's book, I feel the sourcing is reasonable at this stage. Philafrenzy (talk) 10:44, 29 October 2018 (UTC)

My apologies if I am not using this page correctly. I have just edited the Joseph Jagger page as I am the author of a newly published biography of him. I have changed some points that are factually wrong according to my research and I have cited my book as the source of key facts rather than The Times journalist who interviewed me. I hope that does not infringe marketing policies? I wanted the source to be as accurate as possible but don't want it to seem like self-promotion. And thank you for the very nice comments here about my book!I hope that the changes are acceptable Anne C Fletcher (talk) 18:45, 20 November 2018 (UTC)Anne Fletcher, author From the Mill to MOnte Carlo

Full review needed. Issues appear to have been resolved since 3 weeks ago and reviewer has not returned. Vincent LUFan (talk) (Kenton!) 13:06, 14 December 2018 (UTC)
