Comments

Prose

• to his death → "till his death"
• "as his 'big brother' and was his 'admiring satellite'." — We'll need a citation immediately after the quote.
• Manhattan's Columbia Grammar & Preparatory School — pipe " 's " out of the link
• at the Columbia College of Columbia University — (1) this takes a definite article, while "Columbia University" does not (2) Our article calls 'Columbia College of Columbia University' just Columbia College (New York)
• with honors in New York City in 1859 — link NYC here: on its first instance in the prose.
• Article says "a Master of Arts two years later" from Columbia College of Columbia University. The info-box says "Columbia University (BA)"
• at the New-York Chronicle — according to our Wikipedia article, it is The New York Chronicle ("The" is capitalized and italicized)
• New England can be linked
• the journalist Charles Anderson Dana — I'd remove 'the'
• He and his wife lived there until 1890. He had no children. — Well, "They had no children."
• The following terms are linked multiple times in the prose:
  • The New York Times
  • Rebecca Harding Davis
• Addressed the above

Images

• Images can take ALT text.
  • done

References

In this version:

• Ref#1 — ""His Art Alone Endures"" — quotes inside quotes take single quotation mark.
• Ref#1 and Ref#6 should be merged.
  • Done the above
• Ref#3 — do we know that year of publication? The dates in the title should be separated by en-dashes. Also, any link/identifies (ISBN, OCLC, LCCN)
  • No identifiers that would be particularly useful. The year of publication is already there
• Ref#10 — The dates in the title should be separated by en-dashes.
• Ref#2 and Ref#11 should be merged
• Ref#12 — the publisher is listed in Location parameter.
• Ref#13 — The dates in the title should be separated by en-dashes.
• Inconsistency with ISSNs in The New York Times references.
  • Done the above
• Few news citations have page number mentioned, few have not.
  • Because some are scans of printed newspapers, some are online papers (with no page numbers)
• Ref#20 — quotes inside quotes take single quotation mark.
• Retrieved October 29, 2007. — inconsistent date format.
• Detroit, Mich. (state written in short form) v. Berkeley, California
  • Done the above
• Ref#23 — not formatted properly
  • cut the sentence as oversimplification
• Ref#25 — "guides.loc.gov" should be "Library of Congress"
  • Done
• There is inconsistency in listing the page number. Either mention it with the source, or mention it with the RP template.
  • RP is used when there are multiple different page numbers with the same citation, consistently
