Anthony Musgrave (entomologist)
[edit]- ... that Anthony Musgrave, the son of Anthony Musgrave, was related to Anthony Musgrave?

That's a funny hook and also very apt. I was a bit worried about the required minimum length but turned out the article is just a few characters longer than 1,500. If you could only add an additional citation to the Australian Dictionary of Biography to the sentence that introduces Musgrave as the nephey of Anthony Musgrave, then I'd be even more happy. Reading the current reference for the hook requires a subscribtion to a certain journal, so why not use the freely available source that is equally reliable?

- Thanks for the review. Now, the Journal of the Society for the Bibliography of Natural History source was definitely published first... And then the ADB got information from that source, thus making the ADB seem like a middleman. The Journal... source also appears more authoritative and slightly more reliable, which is why I naturally used that, instead of the ADB source, which I cited only for points of information not covered by the Journal... source. Nonetheless, I respectfully did what you requested for citing Musgrave as the great nephew of Musgrave with the ADB source.
