Long enough. New enough. Neutral tone. Reliable citations though not enough inside the paragraphs. (I've inserted one of the citations to a couple of places for better clarity.) No copyright violations. (It does include a direct quote from a book from 1907; it's ok.) I can't find anything about Traynor's wife and daughter (Jane and Anna) in any of the four citations though. Fix them, and we should be good to go. Hybernator (talk) 19:55, 25 December 2018 (UTC)
- Hi @Hybernator:, I ended up just removing the line about his wife and daughter entirely due to the fact the only source available on them was from Find A Grave, which isn't reliable. Thanks! FiendYT ★ 08:49, 26 December 2018 (UTC)
- Can you add a source for his burial site? (I think you could even remove the sentence.) Thanks. Hybernator (talk) 20:10, 29 December 2018 (UTC)
- @Hybernator: Okay, I removed that sentence. FiendYT ★ 17:56, 30 December 2018 (UTC)
Long enough. New enough. Reliable inline citations throughout. Neutral tone. No copyright vios. Both hooks are ok but I think ALT1 is more interesting. GTG. Hybernator (talk) 19:56, 30 December 2018 (UTC)
