  • Done.
  • "only German language newspaper" hyphenate German-language for consistent usage.
  • Done.
  • "settlers from Germany.[3] " that links to the German Confederation which is very different to most of our understanding of "Germany".
  • I changed to "German settlers" and added an explanatory note explaining what "German" meant before the 1871 unification.
  • "German" or "Germany" appears seven times in three sentences there, it's quite repetitive.
  • Tried rewording things around.
  • "publications in Pennsylvania in the" overlinked.
  • Fixed.
  • "Oldenburg on " comma after Oldenburg.
  • Done.
  • "Pennsylvania in March" comma after Pennsylvania.
  • Done.
  • "one hundred forty friends, fifty one " 140, 51.
  • Done.
  • "son of Bishop and" why capital B?
  • Kalbfleisch 1968 capitalized it because it's a title, but I think per the MOS you're right and we ought to have it as a lowercase.
  • "lasted under two years" less than
  • Fixed.
  • "$2.00 per year or $3.00" inflate. And I assume this was CAN$? So how much was that worth in a currency the rest of us are moderately more familiar with, e.g. US$ or GBP£?
  • I added inflation templates and clarified it's CA$. Do we need US$ or GBP£ equivalents? I'm worried about cluttering things up, but since the article is written in Canadian English I'm not sure if it's entirely necessary anyway.
  • "20 × 14 inch paper" convert to metric.
  • Added cm in parenthesis.
  • "22 × 16 " and the same (and for the others...)
  • Added cm in parenthesis.
  • Would be nice to have ISBNs in same format.
  • Is there any guidance in the MOS? I usually use the 10 digit ISBN if that's what was available on first publication and the 13 digit for newer stuff.

That's all I have. The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 19:54, 4 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
