That's a good point. Most of the sources I've found mention that the book was a hit and that people really dug it, but that's all that I can find. (And I've dug through Google Books, JSTOR, and BrillOnline Reference Works, among others.) I'm going to re-locate Thorndike's 1965 book to see if there's anything there. If so, I'll try to expand the final section, if that works for you.--Gen. Quon(Talk)18:19, 5 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The "Bibliography" does not separate citations used in the References from 'Further reading'. It might be better to have 2 sections named 'Sources' and 'Further reading', or something along those lines.
The 9th edition of EB, interestingly enough, seems to be the only source out there that explicitly notes that the first book is based on Aristotle and Galen (the 11th cut down Scot's article considerably). I believe that this is important info to note, but am unsure if I should remove it.--20:23, 5 October 2017 (UTC)
Pick (1998) does not point to anything in the "Bibliography".
Thorndike (1965) doesn't point to anything either.
This perfectly illustrates why Harvard links are a good idea, helping both the reader and other editors.
The twin problems of unused sources and broken references (pointing nowhere) would be more easily managed if the article used the Harvard mechanism to link refs to sources. This is not a GA requirement but it's obviously sensible in a historical article.
"(i.e. in regards to genus and species)" makes it look as if Scot was aware of modern taxonomy's concepts of genus and species, which he obviously was not. The wikilinks must go, and in place of them a brief note on what he intended by these terms is needed: perhaps with links to some medieval article.
This is now a well-polished article and I'm happy to award it a deserved GA. If you're going further to FAC, the best of luck. I do think Scot hedged his bets rather about dreams! And I'd encourage you to review an article or two from the GA nominations list yourself. All the best, Chiswick Chap (talk) 07:11, 7 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
