Need help improving HBN biography
[edit]Hi, I wrote this as my first biography on Wikipedia and would like help with edits and approval. Thank you. Logger67 (talk) 00:07, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
- Well done, Logger67! Just one thing, though. If an editor reads something off paper -- a physical codex, newsprint, etc -- there's no reason to say when this was "retrieved" (or "accessed"). Seeing "Retrieved" and a date, the reader thinks "Where?" So every "Retrieved [date]" should be paired with an URL. I've done this for one source. It still needs to be done for others. -- Hoary (talk) 21:53, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you so much for your help. I apologize, but I am still a little confused on this. Can you confirm if you mean that if it says "Retrieved" then it also must have URL with it? Logger67 (talk) 17:45, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
- Hello! Hope all is well. I wanted to follow up on an edit suggestion you made and said I needed to do for the other citations. Basically, if it says retrieved I need to include a link even if its given from the citation generator? For example this is one that says “Retrieved” but there is no link .. does that mean a link to where I read it should be added? -

"Dubious - discuss"
[edit]In the opening that stated Sunday Evening Post was marked dubious. I have corrected (updated and cited) it to Saturday Evening Post. -- Henry Beach Needham was widely known through his work for McClure’s Magazine, Collier’s and the Saturday Evening Post, much of which prior to the present war had been of a political and economic character. https://www.loc.gov/resource/2004540423/1915-06-18/ed-1/?dl=all&sp=11&st=text&r=0.381,0.079,0.147,0.17,0 Logger67 (talk) 03:05, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
