Comments

"the northeast United States " why just northeast in the pipe when the link is simply Northeastern United States?
- Done. Ergo Sum 19:37, 18 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
"in Annapolis, Maryland to" comma before to.
- That's not a dependent clause, so a comma, I think, is unwarranted. Ergo Sum 19:38, 18 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  - I think, per MOS:GEOCOMMA, it's required. The Rambling Man (Staying alive since 2005!) 19:51, 18 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    - Right you are. I didn't know the WP policy was that. Can't say I'm a huge fan of it, but that's the policy. Fixed. Ergo Sum 02:32, 19 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
"January 16, 1855 in" comma after 1855.
- Ditto. Ergo Sum 19:39, 18 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
"a Mason Scholarship" what's this?
- Truthfully, I have no idea. It was important enough that the reference mentioned it, so I figured I'd include it. Ergo Sum 19:39, 18 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
"the classics" I would think it more useful to link this than, say, Germany...
- Linked. Ergo Sum 19:40, 18 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
"in Worcester, Massachusetts a year " comma before a.
- Ditto. Ergo Sum 19:40, 18 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  - Fixed. Ergo Sum 02:34, 19 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
"August 27, 1885 by " etc.
- Ditto. Ergo Sum 19:41, 18 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Is Himmel really "anglicized"? I thought it meant heaven?
- I'm not expert in German, but I think you're right. I believe it's anglicized in the way that many foreign surnames were shortened in the United States to reduce their foreign-ness. Ergo Sum 19:42, 18 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
"During his time on the mission band" and "over the course of his eventual twenty years as a missionary" - both in the same sentence seem unneccessary?
- Rephrased by utilizing the ever-useful semi-colon. Ergo Sum 19:43, 18 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
What is tertianship?
- It's a stage of Jesuit formation. I didn't link it because I already employ that link earlier. Ergo Sum 19:43, 18 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  - I guess for us non-experts, we don't equate "tertianship" with "Jesuit formation". Personally, I'm not familiar with either. The Rambling Man (Staying alive since 2005!) 19:51, 18 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    - I've added a bit of explanation right after the term. Ergo Sum 02:35, 19 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
You link prez of Georgetown after already mentioning the position...
- If you are referring to the lede, I do so because linking president as opposed to Georgetown would be unwieldy in the first paragraph. Ergo Sum 19:44, 18 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  - No, I'm talking about the end of the Gonzaga College section and the beginning of the Georgetown University section. The Rambling Man (Staying alive since 2005!) 19:51, 18 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    - Ah, I see. I've moved the link. Ergo Sum 02:37, 19 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
"November 3, 1924 at " comma
- Ditto. Ergo Sum 19:44, 18 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Looks like em-dashes rather than en-dashes in the year ranges in the suc-box.
- Good catch. Ergo Sum 19:46, 18 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Otherwise, as usual, a top notch piece of work. On hold for the moment. The Rambling Man (Staying alive since 2005!) 19:12, 18 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@The Rambling Man: Thanks for you review. I believe I've responded to all your comments. Ergo Sum 19:46, 18 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Ergo Sum I've responded to your queries. The Rambling Man (Staying alive since 2005!) 19:51, 18 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@The Rambling Man: Likewise. I've resolved all the outstanding issues, I believe.

All good, I've promoted now. Just FYI, adding a "ping" after the event doesn't seem to work. I think you need to add a new signed comment to ensure it gets through to me. Cheers. The Rambling Man (Staying alive since 2005!) 07:54, 19 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
