When proposing edit requests it is important to highlight in the text, through the use of ref tags, which specific sources are doing the referencing for each claim. The point of these inline ref tags is to allow the reviewer and readers to check that the material is sourced; that point will be lost if the ref tags are not clearly placed. Note the examples below:
Examples
|
---|
In the first example above there are three references provided, but the claim statements do not contain ref tags indicating which reference applies where. Your edit request similarly does not specify where the references you have provided are to be placed. These links between material and their source references must be more clearly made, as shown in the next example below:
|
In the second example above, the links between the provided references and their claim statement ref tags are perfectly clear. Kindly reformulate your edit request so that it aligns more with the second example above, and feel free to re-submit that edit request at your earliest convenience.

[a] "The New Royal Scottish Academician, Mr. A. K. Brown, R.S.A.",
The Scottish Review, February 20, 1908, page 203
"... He belongs to a family that came from Fifeshire. When Mr. Brown
was about three years old his father, who was a partner in a
brass-finishing firm, removed to Glasgow, and there in the west
he has resided ever since. It was in the Free Church Normal School,
Cowcaddens, that he received his first drawing lessons. There was
first discovered the art faculty which was subsequently developed
when he became a student of the art school conducted by Mr. Robert
Greenlees in Ingram Street. On leaving school Mr. Brown was for
seven years an apprentice in the designing department of Messrs.
Inglis and Wakefield, calico printers - a useful if somewhat
protracted training for his subsequent career. Finally he abandoned
the commercial side of art for its more aesthetic enjoyments. One
of the first pictures he exhibited, while still an apprentice, was
a landscape in oils of Dunnottar Castle, which was hung in the Glasgow
Institute of 1870."
[b] "A Scottish Artist, Death of Mr. A. K. Brown", The Glasgow Herald
May 10, 1922, pg. 4
" Mr. A. K. Brown, though a native of Edinburgh, may be claimed
as a Glasgow man. He was but a child when his parents removed to
the Western Metropolis, where he ever afterwards resided. In his
teens he entered a calico printing establishment in the city as
a designer. He early displayed a bent for an artistic career. While
still engaged in the calico works he attended the night classes
at the Glasgow School of Art, then under the direction of Mr. Robert
Greenless, the trainer of many local painters who have since won
distinction. Subsequently he pursued his studies at the Heatherly
School in London, and returned to Glasgow, where he settled as a
landscaper painter. His progress was rapid. He was only 20 years
of age when his first picture was exhibited. ..."
NOTE: I have provided more of the paragraphs of the relevance citations
than might be strictly required. My hope is that this gives you
a bit more context to help in selecting the portion which, in your
experience, gives a satisfactory citation.
NOTE: I searched for tlx|request|edit in order to make the change you
requested. I only found request|edit at the top and changed that. I
hope I got that right.
