"What?" "Gibberish", etc

Some good recent edits by my learned friend Sitush; however:

Banerjee held office in the Allahabad High Court from 1893 to 1923<ref>Sri Amitav Banerji, "[http://www.allahabadhighcourt.in/event/SriPramodaCBanerjeeABanerji.pdf Sir Pramoda Charan Banerjee]" (PDF), Allahabad High Court.</ref><ref>Sri S. P. Sinha, "[http://www.allahabadhighcourt.in/event/SomeEngJIAdmiredSPSinha.pdf Some English judges whom I admired]" (PDF), Allahabad High Court.</ref> and was the second Indian judge after [[Syed Mahmood]].{{clarify|reason=second what? why? where? this is gibberish}}

I believe that this means that he was, chronologically, the second judge of Indian (rather than British or otherwise imported) descent to serve at the Allahabad High Court.

With Mahmood,{{who}} John Edge{{who}} and others, he "made indelible imprints greatness as Judges on the pages of [Allahabad High Court’s] law reports".<ref>Nasirullah Beg, "[http://www.allahabadhighcourt.in/event/Welcome_Address_NU_Beg25-11-66.pdf Welcome Address]" (PDF). Delivered 25 November 1966. Allahabad High Court.</ref>

Mahmood (who has his own article in en:WP) has been identified in the previous sentence. Edge is named, if not fully described, in the cited source.

I have no Indian or legal background, and only skimread the sources, in a quick effort to give this article (about somebody I'd never heard of just 24 hours ago) a second lease of life after my removal from it of swathes of plagiarized material. I may very well have got something wrong.

(Now, the part that I'd agree is gibberishy is "indelible imprints greatness".) -- Hoary (talk) 00:21, 11 August 2014 (UTC)

Well, if that is what it means then maybe "he was the second Indian to be appointed a judge, the first being Mahmood." If we can't pinpoint who Edge is then perhaps we shouldn't mention him (but I'll see what I can dig up). - Sitush (talk) 10:12, 11 August 2014 (UTC)

Thank you; I've edited accordingly. I'd leave in Edge even if we can't identify him; though of course if you can identify him, so much the better. -- Hoary (talk) 10:31, 11 August 2014 (UTC)

Here's our man: "Hon'ble Sir John Edge (1886-1898)", among the "Chief Justices of the High Court of Judicature at Allahabad (1866-1901)". -- Hoary (talk) 10:40, 11 August 2014 (UTC)

Yeah, thanks. He's also got an entry in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography. I'll create an article later today. - Sitush (talk) 12:27, 11 August 2014 (UTC)

Cite format

I'm not fussed what template we use but please could we consider using one of the cite templates in this article rather than the open-ended style that dominates at present? {{sfnp}}, {{cite book}} or whatever would do: it will aid in enforcing consistency as/when expansion occurs (and it will). - Sitush (talk) 12:22, 11 August 2014 (UTC)

Sure, go ahead. Personally I dislike them, but I understand their benefits and when other people use one kind of template in a given article with at least moderate care then I follow along. -- Hoary (talk) 14:06, 11 August 2014 (UTC)
