Image request

I'm struggling to find an image of Marshal (James) Clarke. There are several other people (relatives) with the same name and so far I've only found images of them, especially Marshal (Neville) Clarke. Any help greatly appreciated. FunkyCanute (talk) 14:27, 18 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'll review this one. Peacemaker67 (crack... thump) 09:09, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Rate	Attribute	Review Comment
1. Well-written:
	1a. the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct.
	1b. it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation.	we generally don't redlink authors in Bibliography HFB needs an article and I have it on my list to do. I can create a stub to avoid the redlink. FunkyCanute (talk) 19:02, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply] Done. FunkyCanute (talk) 21:45, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply] there are several examples of overlinking, eg Zululand in the lead. I've found it worthwhile to install [[User:Ucucha/duplinks]] on my common.js page so that I can check this automatically with one click. The link has the instructions. OK, I think I've removed the duplicates. FunkyCanute (talk) 19:02, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
2. Verifiable with no original research:
	2a. it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline.	there is uncited material in the paragraph ending "'Personally I hardly think the office of Resident Commissioner any longer necessary'." fixed. FunkyCanute (talk) 10:31, 7 October 2015 (UTC)[reply] fn14 is a page range with just p. instead of pp. Fixed. FunkyCanute (talk) 21:20, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply] fn61 resolves to a 404 error, link needs repair Fixed. FunkyCanute (talk) 10:31, 7 October 2015 (UTC)[reply] Haggard doesn't need two numbers, just the OCLC would be fine done. FunkyCanute (talk) 19:02, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply] ref = harv fields in the Bibliography, but the citations don't point to them Going through the citations, they seem to point to the references just fine. Please clarify. FunkyCanute (talk) 21:05, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply] Sorry. I should have said in the Further reading section (which is probably a bit OTT, BTW). I have a script installed which tells me if a reference has any citations pointing to it. None of them do. Cheers, Peacemaker67 (crack... thump) 10:37, 7 October 2015 (UTC)[reply] Yes, indeed. It's further reading, rather than references, which is why no citations point to them. The ref=harv is for future usage: I will use them to get the article eventually to FA but in the meantime they are all good additional reading material. FunkyCanute (talk) 15:21, 7 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
	2b. reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose).
	2c. it contains no original research.
3. Broad in its coverage:
	3a. it addresses the main aspects of the topic.
	3b. it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style).
	4. Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.
	5. Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute.
6. Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio:
	6a. media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content.	File:Dinizulu.jpg needs some evidence that the photographer died 70 or more years ago, and it also needs a US license. The picture is from 1883-84 in South Africa, so I've corrected the tag to {{PD-South-Africa}}. FunkyCanute (talk) 21:18, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply] Still needs a US PD tag. Peacemaker67 (crack... thump) 22:24, 7 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
	6b. media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions.
	7. Overall assessment.	~~Placing on hold for seven days for a US licence to be added to the Dinizulu image, otherwise ready to go. Peacemaker67 (crack... thump) 22:24, 7 October 2015 (UTC)~~Passing Peacemaker67 (crack... thump) 09:20, 8 October 2015 (UTC)[reply] US tag now added. FunkyCanute (talk) 08:58, 8 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for carrying out the review, Peacemaker67. Please let me know if there's anything else that needs fixing. FunkyCanute (talk) 10:31, 7 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No prob. All done, passing. Peacemaker67 (crack... thump) 09:20, 8 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
