Review comments

Some suggestions for improvement as the article is expanded:

Appropriate infobox should be added
Photograph should be added from a source with a free license
Needs copy edit and wikification
Basic biographical information required, including precise date and place of birth, education details, positions held with dates
Information on works should be expanded and references required; existing material needs checking for small-scale copyright violations
References should be expanded and preferably converted to inline format
External links present which could be used to expand article

Bass Fishing Record

The article needs to be updated to reflect Matthew Francis' extensive career as one of Britain's premier big bass fishermen. 77.103.51.219 (talk) 21:51, 16 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
