Category fix at A Ballad upon the Popish Plot

Good attempts, but cats have to be much narrower than that. For example "Printmaking" is waaaay to broad for an article this specific. In the same sense that an article caldo verde about a Portuguese soup, should go in category:Portuguese cuisine , not Category:Portugal directly. Not a big deal, you develop a feel for it with practice, but basic rule is "as narrow as possible in each applicable category tree".

Nice work overall! Note, any footnote you have to GoogleBooks, plug it into http://reftag.appspot.com and it'll convert it to a full Wikipedia footnote.

Further, a great way to really jazz up an article on a broadsheet is to include an image of said sheet. Any photo of said broadsheet is out of copyright (so long as the photo, regardless of when taken, shows only the original work with no further artistry added), so you can upload any plain image of it to Wikipedia Commons and add it to your article. Note how same was done on the period book The Fable of the Bees. Try it, give it a cool visual.

Thanks for your good article, hope you'll continue to add to Wikipedia! MatthewVanitas (talk) 02:18, 13 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for September 18

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Robin Hood's Progress to Nottingham, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Brythonic. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Please do not use "Ibid"

Wikipeda foonotes are auto-numbered, so if someone were to rearrange the text as a partial rewrite later, footnote #8 "Ibid" could end up becoming footnote #14, leading someone to erroneously believe it's an Ibid of #13, not #7. See WP:Ibid for ways to avoid this thorny issue. MatthewVanitas (talk) 17:26, 6 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
