Reversion of edit on Cunard page
Hi

Don't know what you think you've done but the edit refered to was altering a link to point at the correct article (SS Russia 1867) which is still there. What did you actually mean? Murgatroyd49 (talk) 21:33, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Hi mate. That link isn't in question. The link is still as you left it. Your reversion of my edit is here. There were a few problems with it. First, the commas: "their young Assembly Speaker, Joseph Howe," and "Seal Island, Nova Scotia," require commas after the appositive. It's best explained at MOS:COMMA. Also, this: "... later increased to £300,000.(£0 in ), Cunard supplied ..." is obviously wrong: it has a full stop and a comma where they shouldn't be. The other two things you reverted weren't errors as such but judgments of style: "Nova Scotian Samuel Cunard" and "with fellow Nova Scotian Samuel Cunard" can I think be written better, so I've changed these to "the Nova Scotian Samuel Cunard" and "with his fellow Nova Scotian Samuel Cunard". Just "Nova Scotian Samuel Cunard" sounds a bit tabloid-like to me. I think what I've changed it to could be improved further, to something like, "In 1939 Samuel Cunard, a Nova Scotian businessman, was awarded ..." I hope all this makes sense. Cheers.
