Numerous uncited sections, a disputed tag from 2019, disorganised prose (for example, in the "In popular culture" section). Z1720 (talk) 00:22, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
- I'm sorry, have you tagged the right article? I don't see a single uncited section. Please be very specific about what you think needs fixing. Rewording the sentence to which the disputed tag is attached is pretty trivial. Jclemens (talk) 02:16, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
- Yep, the right article is tagged. I have gone through the article and added "citation needed" templates after the phrases missing citations. This includes a whole paragraph in "1990–1994: Dangerous Journeys" and the second half of the second paragraph of the "Leaving TSR" section. I think most of these can be easy fixes by moving the references to the end of the paragraph's last sentence but someone needs to verify that the information is verified by the source.
- Fixed. Chiswick Chap (talk) 20:00, 27 August 2023 (UTC)

- Fixed what was, as Jclemens says, a remarkably trivial disputed tag. Chiswick Chap (talk) 18:49, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
- Oh, you meant uncited sentences rather than sections, correct? Jclemens (talk) 21:16, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
- When I use sections, I refer to parts of the article (either phrases, single sentences, multiple sentences or whole paragraphs) where there are uncited statements. I will try to be more clear in future comments. Z1720 (talk) 21:50, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
- Yeah, perfectly understandable in hindsight. There are specific templates for sections as units of article like {{Unreferenced section}}, so that's why I was so puzzled at first. Jclemens (talk) 06:32, 31 August 2023 (UTC)

- Concerning the "In popular culture" section, the entries listed there are not in chronological order, and I cannot discern what the organisational structure of that section is. I also wonder if more entries can be added there, but that is of lesser concern. Let me know when the above are addressed and I'll take another look at the article.

- Added date and reordered. As popcult sections go, it's not bad - the entries are relevant, intelligent, and cited, which is three advantages over a lot of articles I've seen. Chiswick Chap (talk) 18:45, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
Z1720 - all done to date. Chiswick Chap (talk) 20:02, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
- My concerns have been resolved, so I think this can be closed as keep. Z1720 (talk) 16:54, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
