Happy to offer a review. As ever, if you'd rather hear more voices, do let me know and I'll hold off your articles at GAC. J Milburn ( talk) 17:40, 12 January 2015 (UTC) reply

Not at all; your reviews are great. Thank you for doing them! There's only one left, and I probably won't be bringing any more to GA for a while, so it would be great if you'd review that too. Mike Christie ( talk - contribs - library) 01:06, 13 January 2015 (UTC) reply

• I note that you have included Ashley 2000, but not cited it- have you perhaps made a mistake with your citations again?

  No, thank God. I don't want to be that embarrassed twice in a day. I added it to the refs list thinking I would use it, but it doesn't have anything not in the other refs, so I've dropped it. Mike Christie ( talk - contribs - library) 01:10, 13 January 2015 (UTC) reply

• Our article The Signal-Man has a dash in the title of Dickens's short story- how was it titled in the magazine?

  It's spelled "The Signalman" in the source I have, and also in this bibliographic index. It may be that the article we have is correct for the original printing, but I think we should stick with the source spelling for this article, since we don't have anything to say it wasn't spelled that way in the magazine.

• Can we have some kind of link for "slick paper"? This is not going to be familiar to most.

  After years of thinking there ought to be a link for this, I finally broke down and created an article. Mike Christie ( talk - contribs - library) 23:47, 12 January 2015 (UTC) reply

• Are The Sovereign Magazine and Mystery-Story Magazine worth linking?

  I don't think so -- I did do some searching for them and couldn't find enough to justify a redlink. Mike Christie ( talk - contribs - library) 23:47, 12 January 2015 (UTC) reply

• "In March 1930 Harold Hersey took over as publisher, but he was unable to revive the magazine's fortunes" You don't mention the sale in the main body, just the lead

  I meant to imply the sale in the body, but I see it wasn't very clear. Reworded and expanded a little. Mike Christie ( talk - contribs - library) 01:06, 13 January 2015 (UTC) reply

• "both published by League Publications, a subsidiary of MacFadden-Bartell, which owned the rights to the original stories." Why?

  I don't have a reliable source for this (my source just states they owned the rights) but per Macfadden Communications Group it seems clear that Macfadden-Bartell still retained the copyright to the magazine in the 1960s as they were a direct descendant of Macfadden's original company. Does this need to be explained in the article? Mike Christie ( talk - contribs - library) 01:06, 13 January 2015 (UTC) reply

• Category:Horror fiction magazines?

  Done. Mike Christie ( talk - contribs - library) 01:06, 13 January 2015 (UTC) reply

Generally solid, as ever. J Milburn ( talk) 18:30, 12 January 2015 (UTC) reply
