Comments
- Could create plausible redirects at the alt names, e.g. The German Canadian and The German Canadian and News Messenger?
- 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)
