Removal of tags

I removed all the unsourced content and added high quality secondary WP:RS. The article is now in a much better state.4meter4 (talk) 04:41, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you @4meter4. I agree your improvements mean the N-tag can go, and the blocked user means the COI-tag can also go for now. Much appreciated! JFHJr (㊟) 04:45, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@JFHJr No problem. Happy to be of service.4meter4 (talk) 04:46, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like most of the article is cited to WP:TERTIARY sources, rather than WP:SECONDARY sources. Most of the article is also sourced to a single source, [1]. A more citations tag may still be useful. – notwally (talk) 17:59, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think that is really necessary. The more citations tag is only appropriate when there is unverified content, and some of the content is duplicated in the OUP reference. You could swap one source for the other in the citations in some cases. The Aust Lit resource has a list of 13 secondary sources about the author, and 31 secondary sources about Flood's works. Unfortunately those lists are only viewable for those with subscription access. Best.4meter4 (talk) 20:20, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
