@ Kuru: -- Thanks for giving the new article a look'sie. Re: the citation/source you removed. Prabook is a component of World Biographical Encyclopedia, Inc. I had assumed this was a RS. Interested in your thoughts. Meanwhile, I'll see what else is out there. Thanks for looking out. -- Gwillhickers ( talk) 21:53, 9 August 2019 (UTC)
This isn't really important for the DYK nomination, but A) the works in the #Works section should have their publication data and {{
citation}} template formatting (use |display-authors=0
to remove Jackson's name) or be removed as a laundry list to a
Wikisource author page; B) his publications and journals are their own citations and don't need references (let alone duplicate and double footnoted references) for their existence; C) the
WOI he worked for should be disambiguated: AM station, FM station, or both; D) the nature of his career should be better fleshed out: there should be some material on his approach to historiography and what his stewardship meant for the Washington and L'n'C projects; if he was just a bland cipher, that would be worth noting as well; E) if George Washington and the War of Independence was his second notable work, it should get its own subsection; similarly, if his L'n'C project wasn't notable enough for the #Works lede, it shouldn't have its own subsection; F) most of the material currently in the L'n'C subsection isn't about the project, its scholarship, or its reception/importance but about the work Jackson put into getting it made; all of that belongs in his #Career section as things he was doing in his career, not as works he saw published; G) some of the citation references need to be cleaned up: Journal: , 1988
isn't really a sensible ref for Lange & al. or Montana or Montana Historical Society; H) source specifies
prostate cancer, which should be mentioned and possibly categorized; I) the article should also be listed at
Donald Jackson (disambiguation). —
