Use of various editions of Price Spitfire Story

[edit]

Article is using four editions of Price (mix of editions and reprints?). Probably best to use only after the revised edition from 1995 and one edition of that to make life easier on the readers GraemeLeggett (talk) 18:35, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

GA concerns

[edit]

I am concerned that this article no longer meets the good article criteria, due to several uncited statements and paragraphs. Is anyone interested in addressing this concern, or should this go to WP:GAR? Z1720 (talk) 03:11, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Not a five minute job! I count 20 citation needed tags, most (if not all) don't clarify what needs citing in a sentence that has more than one fact. One cn tag is in front of a ref, is that still needed? The quick solution is to remove entire sentences where the facts can't easily be verified. I count nine CN tags in the memorial section, those entries could be removed. It is a popular article with many well-meaning editors pulling in different directions and adding uncited text.

In addition to uncited prose, there are also uncited notes which will need to be resolved: sometimes the some ref used for the prose can be used for the notes, but the source will have to be checked to ensure it verifies what is in the note. Z1720 (talk) 14:20, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
