Happy to offer a review. As ever, if you'd rather hear more voices, do let me know and I'll hold off your articles at GAC. J Milburn (talk) 17:40, 12 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Not at all; your reviews are great. Thank you for doing them! There's only one left, and I probably won't be bringing any more to GA for a while, so it would be great if you'd review that too. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 01:06, 13 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I note that you have included Ashley 2000, but not cited it- have you perhaps made a mistake with your citations again?
No, thank God. I don't want to be that embarrassed twice in a day. I added it to the refs list thinking I would use it, but it doesn't have anything not in the other refs, so I've dropped it. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 01:10, 13 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Our article The Signal-Man has a dash in the title of Dickens's short story- how was it titled in the magazine?
It's spelled "The Signalman" in the source I have, and also in this bibliographic index. It may be that the article we have is correct for the original printing, but I think we should stick with the source spelling for this article, since we don't have anything to say it wasn't spelled that way in the magazine.

Can we have some kind of link for "slick paper"? This is not going to be familiar to most.
After years of thinking there ought to be a link for this, I finally broke down and created an article. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 23:47, 12 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Are The Sovereign Magazine and Mystery-Story Magazine worth linking?
I don't think so -- I did do some searching for them and couldn't find enough to justify a redlink. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 23:47, 12 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
"In March 1930 Harold Hersey took over as publisher, but he was unable to revive the magazine's fortunes" You don't mention the sale in the main body, just the lead
I meant to imply the sale in the body, but I see it wasn't very clear. Reworded and expanded a little. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 01:06, 13 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
"both published by League Publications, a subsidiary of MacFadden-Bartell, which owned the rights to the original stories." Why?
I don't have a reliable source for this (my source just states they owned the rights) but per Macfadden Communications Group it seems clear that Macfadden-Bartell still retained the copyright to the magazine in the 1960s as they were a direct descendant of Macfadden's original company. Does this need to be explained in the article? Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 01:06, 13 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Category:Horror fiction magazines?
Done. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 01:06, 13 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Generally solid, as ever. J Milburn (talk) 18:30, 12 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
