Draft:List of Neo-Latin authors resubmitted
[edit]Hi there, in case you have a moment and don't mind taking a look, I've resubmitted Draft:List of Neo-Latin authors having added sources etc. Hoping it is at a decent state now! Jim Killock (talk) 00:19, 10 December 2024 (UTC)
- @JimKillock: Excellent work bringing this up to a great standard. I've approved it, AGFing the offline sources. ~ Pbritti (talk) 01:57, 10 December 2024 (UTC)
Glad to have your support...
[edit]but understand, my addition of tags is a "work in progress" statement. I often come to articles to find something—a fact, a citation—and read carefully, seeking to ensure that the statements made are reliable enought to use again elsewhere in the encyclopedia.
In this case, finding initial problems (e.g., support for Wren being oldest, at the Crimson, but not for its build dates), I then began trying to contribute something before leaving. Often this is just fixing some of the dead links, or making citations complete, or checking text against citation (for instance, before correcting "extant" to "standing", per the sources).
But in this case, that lead is a quagmire! And I will fully support anything you do to make the text encyclopedic. Feel free, as I am still doing today, to remove tags as you find that sources later in the article in support of this or that statement. (E.g., it is likely that sources in the section on the building's several fires will support some of the lead content.). I say this because my tests for the lead summarising the main body are (and must be) rapid and decisive—e.g., checking for repeating key words—and so can reflect missteps at times.
Finally, I'd ask that you go in soon, and make some cursory edits, to cap off all my day's edits, so another editor annoyed by tags does not come in and revert the whole of the work (true and sound though they are). It is something I have to expect, since stopping editing as registered editor.
Cheers, a former registered WP editor (and former Prof.). 73.110.70.75 (talk) 21:35, 12 December 2024 (UTC)
- @73.110.70.75: Oh, no fret regarding your tagging! The tagging is totally justifiable: there are a ton of issues and any editor interested in contributing to that article is more than welcome to! Your tags are actually extremely appreciated, as they light a fire under me and may encourage others to take up some edits between now and when I start my round of edits (probably sometime in the week of Christmas). Regarding your request for me adding some sort of edit to legitimize your edits, I don't feel comfortable making a frivolous edit but I will be more than glad to defend your tags should someone object. Best, ~ Pbritti (talk) 23:29, 12 December 2024 (UTC)
- I'll take a break for a bit, to give you a chance to look in. You will find the html currently has a sandbox-y feel, because I'm half through incorporating content from the DHR citation, so you'll see some content in a holding pattern hidden by <!-- markup. So, it's yours for a bit (and I'd not expect anything frovolous, as I imagine I've left in a fair bit needing another eye). And should have said, I am only of the Tribe, insofar as I married into the Class of 1982. More later, as I've got one more small related project percolating.

- It occurred to me to suggest one simple copy edit focus, when your time permits. Sytlistically, it is not clear to me, in the article text per se, when the name of the institution should appear as "William & Mary" or "William and Mary" or "The College". At present, I think it likely appears as all three, and perhaps W&M has also slipped in. This might be worth a copy edit once, since the last of these ("The College") was also synonymous, very early on, with the Wren Building itself, and so perhaps should be avoided for creating confusion. As well, you will "time shifting" occurs in the lead, which may also lead to some confusion. (In describing where the Wren lies, reference is made both to the Ancient Campus and its buildings, but also the comtemporary Merchants Square.) So, plenty to be done and corrected, as time permits.

- You're absolutely right about that bit! I hadn't even considered it. In prose for articles I've written (like Campus of the College of William & Mary), I've used "the college" to refer to the institution and "the College Building" to sparingly refer to the Wren Building. I'll go in and make some of those fixes. Good call. ~ Pbritti (talk) 22:10, 14 December 2024 (UTC)
