Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Ideal city, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Enlightenment and Savannah Historic District (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

Response re Barry N. Haack

edit

Hi, Tom. Thanks for the note on my Talk page. I think the article is almost there. As you are probably aware, BLPs demand a higher level of support from reliable sources; most significant assertions need to be supported by citations, and I think most paragraphs are now well sourced.

The main area to address is, I think, the list of publications. Where possible/appropriate, consider linking to the journal articles, adding Wikilinks to first mentions of journals, maybe adding DOI links, ISBNs for books, etc, using the journal citation template (at the moment, these appear as assertions that cannot easily be verified by readers and other editors, so adding some inline citations will give confidence). I have added some for the first two articles in the list. Paul W (talk) 15:33, 28 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

I have just had a look at the latest version, and it looks good to resubmit. Paul W (talk) 12:05, 1 June 2021 (UTC)Reply
