Bibliography of E.W. Hornung

 * Nominator(s): SchroCat (talk) 15:56, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

E.W. Hornung was a tireless writer between 1897 and his death in 1921. A friend of Arthur Conan Doyle (whose sister he married), and Oscar Wilde, he is probably best remembered for his four books featuring the gentleman thief A. J. Raffles and his partner Bunny Manders: the fictional counterparts of Doyle's Holmes and Watson. - SchroCat (talk) 15:56, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

Support – Fine list. Lemonade51 (talk) 16:26, 27 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Many thanks Lemonade51: very much obliged for your thoughts and time on this! Cheers - SchroCat (talk) 06:43, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

Support – per above resolved comments. I will leave the technical stuff to those who know. Superb work as always! --  Cassianto Talk   07:34, 2 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Many thanks Cass, for your time, effort and thoughts. I've tweaked all the above in line with your suggestions. Cheers! - SchroCat (talk) 10:56, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

Support – I rarely engage with FLC, and have had to refresh my memory about the criteria. I believe this article meets them all. A few minor quibbles, not affecting my support, but possibly worth considering:
 * "In 1893 …his friend Sir Arthur Conan Doyle" – not Sir Arthur until 1902, and you don't need two blue links to him in successive paras.
 * Quite right - the second link was an oversight after dealing with one of Cassianto's comments: now tweaked to show "Hornung dedicated the book to his friend, the writer Arthur Conan Doyle" on the first instance, and slimmed down and de-linked on the second. - SchroCat (talk) 17:16, 2 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Ypres – worth a blue link, perhaps
 * Certainly: now done. - SchroCat (talk) 17:16, 2 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Blue links in tables – I notice you link things on every occurrence (e.g. seven "Cornhill Magazines" in succession). Is this the usual protocol for tables? Fine, if so. I merely mention it, but there's quite a lot of bright blue hitting the eyeballs.
 * Yes, because of the changing order for a re-sortable table, this is the norm for these. - SchroCat (talk) 17:16, 2 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Oh, I see! (I shall have to revisit some of my own modest discography articles.) Tim riley (talk) 18:39, 2 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Info-box - "Books - 2"? Non-fiction books, it turns out. Perhaps clarify
 * Clarified as such. - SchroCat (talk) 17:16, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

That's all from me. I am sceptical about info-boxes as a rule, but the one here is a great benefit – pithy and elegant. Bravo! – Tim riley (talk) 16:18, 2 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Many thanks indeed for your thoughts and efforts - not to mention the fine image of Hornung! - SchroCat (talk) 17:16, 2 January 2014 (UTC)
