I've removed a dead link to the US Powys Society - does this still exist?

I'm not entirely certain why the reference to Paul Roberts' "Becoming Mr Nobody: the philosophy and poetry of John Cowper Powys" is spam. The book does seem to exist. Agingjb ( talk) 07:44, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
Project Gutenberg has The Complex Vision. How does it fit in? 62.64.205.76 ( talk) 13:48, 6 November 2008 (UTC) Couldnt resist improving the markup Victuallers ( talk) 19:44, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
In the History section, paragraph starting with "Periodically", there's a "(7)" at the end of a sentence. I think this may be for a citation that didn't quite work out, but I don't know if it's for Langridge or what. Modal Jig ( talk) 18:33, 23 February 2010 (UTC) If you decide it is then Ive shown hw to get two callouts for the same ref. If you're not sure then delete it I think Victuallers ( talk) 19:46, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
The (7) indicates the page for the quotation --MLA style. Rwood128 ( talk) 17:51, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
This seems a little crowded. Those that deal with Powys's reputation probably should be deleted, as this is dealt with in the article. Unless there are objections, I'll prune the list -- this will place more emphasis on the major links. Rwood128 ( talk) 18:11, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
Clearly this is no longer start class? Rwood128 ( talk) 12:56, 1 August 2014 (UTC)
I believe that the lede now conforms and have removed that banner. Rwood128 ( talk) 18:24, 5 September 2014 (UTC)
Re User talk:Ost316) recent edit. I understand perfectly the objection re WP: Circular, but the link takes the reader directly to a bibliography that gives details of numerous translations in the particular language. This seems a better form of citation than the obvious alternative, which would be listing these works in a citation. I can cut and paste if required, if rules rule, but that will result in a cumbersome citation – though notes may be better. Or these titles could be added to this page's bibliography?

Bmcln1, re my deletion of the reference to elemental in the lede, there is a need for citations for both JCP and Hardy (or better a section discussing this}. I will try and fix this unless you do it first. Rwood128 ( talk) 14:25, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
