{{refimprove}}[edit]

@BoyTheKingCanDance: Admittedly the article has but one reference, but if you follow the link given, you will notice that this reference covers (in longer form) all the content of the History section up to the <ref> tag, but unfortunately not the latest info I added thereafter; that latter I gleaned from Amazon, but did not consider that a quotable source.
What's more, when you web-search for the catalog title, you get loads of antiquarian offers but virtually no descriptive text. So would you consider removing the {{refimprove}} tag? (Perhaps it would help to include for illustration a photo of a heap of such catalogs from different years that I have at my disposal, though such photo yet needs taking, while observing copyright issues.)

@HReuter:, thanks for taking time to post this wonderful explanation. I think you’re right. Best wishes, BoyTheKingCanDance (talk) 11:25, 6 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

{{orphan}}; {{refimprove}}[edit]

@Umakant Bhalerao: Thank you for pointig out the orphan status, as far as links from other articles are concerned. So far, I have now added links from the Coin catalog and Spink & Son articles, plus minor fixes in the latter. However, apart from links coming from other articles, please note that – not immediately visible – the present article is being referenced from every single file in c:Category:Coins_listed_in_the_Standard_Catalogue_of_British_Coins, i.e. 118 at the time of writing and roughly counted 400+ by the time all relevant coin images have been tagged with the {{SCBC}} template, a work in progress.
As to the {{refimprove}} tag, I understand this issue has already been resolved in the previous discussion paragraph.
So would you kindly consider removing both the {{orphan}} and {{refimprove}} tags? – Thanks, HReuter (talk) 22:36, 10 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

{{Drafts moved from mainspace}}[edit]

@Onel5969: Two further, independent references as well as another illustration have been added, documenting the leading role of the subject catalogue in its field and its 60+ year history. Kindly consider to remove the improvement templates and to relocate the article to mainspace. (As mentioned above, it is referenced by numerous images in Commons.)
