Reassessed (Nov 2024): Very Close to B-Class

Hello,

I normally don't start a separate talk-page discussion, but I think a little more detailed feedback could be helpful here. I just looked over this article to reassess it, and I personally think it's extremely close to a B class. My only reason for not re-rating it was that a lot of the details seemed inferred or traced to primary sources in unclear ways.

I probably worry less about a B-class article missing a few citations than many, but enough specific claims jumped out in the article that I thought verifying them should be clearer.

For any future editors here, the guidance at WP:PRIMARY and citing specific pages (especially for historical records not specific to Henry Prince) may be particularly helpful. Also, if Prince's memoirs are also being used as a source for any claims, just remember to note that Prince himself is making those claims.

Otherwise, keep up the great work; I expect the article can make it to B-class very shortly. -- Zar2gar1 (talk) 20:08, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
