Photo

There are several good photos, but they are all so large that they cannot be used as is. I've had trouble shrinking them and maintaining clarity. A discussion on the article's talk page would be a good idea because we need to make sure we find a public domain image of it that will still be clear after it is shrunk to a more appropriate size. --Macha Panta (talk) 21:22, 13 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Recent Edits to Correctness

The article de-revisions by GreenC reverted numerous grammatical and editing issues. There are several misspelled words, poor clarity, incorrect usage of commas and punctuation, repetitive words, and verb forms that need to be amended, and was written with no obvious copyediting. I have reverted the changes. If you have specific issues, please list them out rather than do wholesale reverts, which removed citations and re-introduced the grammatical issues. seicer | talk | contribs 14:20, 26 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You actually deleted entire sentences and content and I disagree with many of your changes. Make editorial corrections, fine, but deleted content needs to be discussed. -- GreenC 15:52, 26 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

As for "several misspelled words" I have a spelling checker and am not seeing it. Which words, specifically (please list them here) are misspelled? As for "poor clarity" I would like you to list, what exactly are you referring to that is not clear? If anything your edits are less clear because you deleted so much content making it essentially a bare list of basic facts in paragraph form. What citations were removed? It's possible I removed some new ones you added by accident, but you loaded up the lead section with citations when WP:LEAD says do not do that. You added content to the lead section that did not exist in the body, but this is how how LEAD sections work. Have you read WP:LEAD? It is supposed to be repetitive with the body. Maybe there are some commas you want to adjust, or some grammatical issues, start with this version and make the least controversial edits first that don't involve deleting content and let's take a look.-- GreenC 16:05, 26 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'd also add the most recent version of the article is not a simple revert to a prior version, there were significant changes made to what it was before your original edit. It added new content, rearranged for chronological order and clarity etc.. -- GreenC 16:07, 26 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

After this series of edits the article is basically reconciled with most of your changes to grammar and wording, except it does not have citations in the lead section, some other things like removing the coordinates template from within a section heading, and restoring deleted sentences. It is now a merger of the two versions. -- GreenC 16:42, 26 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
