Battle of Inverkeithing[edit]

Instructions for nominators and reviewers

Nominator(s): Gog the Mild (talk)

Featured article candidates/Battle of Inverkeithing/archive1

Variously described as a "large skirmish" and "the final battle within Scotland of the Wars of the Three Kingdoms". It effectively sealed the English conquest of Scotland and set Charles II up for defeat at the Battle of Worcester, six weeks later. I think that I have included everything I should and nothing I shouldn't, but would value your opinions on both. My last few nominations to ACR or FAC have had shoddy referencing; I have tried hard not to repeat that here, but if anyone fancies delving into the sourcing in detail I would be grateful.

Source review—pass

Please use a consistent format for editors, preferably the same last, first that is used for authors.

Done.

Also, there's no need to link editors several times, since you don't usually link authors more than once.

Fixed.

I would try to be consistent rather than have both "John Donald Publishers" and "John Donald Publishers Ltd." Nowadays the brand is owned by Birlinn (publisher)

Standardised.

Bleiberg, Edward; Soergel, Philip—who is the author of the material you're citing here?

Looking at it, it's probably not the most appropriate work to cite that text to, so I have replaced it.

Sources look at least minimally RS (t · c) buidhe 13:30, 5 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Am I over analysing if I suspect that this means that you think some are marginal? If that is the case, which? Thanks.

Well, there are fewer claims that would be acceptable to cite to some Osprey book by a non-notable author than to an Oxford UP book by a famous scholar, and in case of a contradiction one would rely on the latter. But I don't see any issues with that here. (t · c) buidhe 07:00, 11 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Source checks OK. I checked the online source and one of the print sources, finding no issues. (t · c) buidhe 07:00, 11 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
