- Hi Iainmacintyre, do you know anything about the threadinburgh website? Is it a reliable source?--Llewee (talk) 17:07, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
- New enough, long enough. Article is in a decent condition. I would suggest changing "local citizens" to " local people" as the former could indicate British citizens which presumably they weren't. The quote is interested and the reliability has been discussed. QPQ done. Llewee (talk) 22:48, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
