"Surviving manuscripts" is unsourced, including the map File:ASC.svg. A455bcd9 (talk) 15:49, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Now cited. I had to make one change, and there's one slight vagueness I should point out. I dropped the mention of Mercian dialect from the description of the Parker Chronicle; Swanton doesn't mention it, at least in the passage I'm citing, and looking in other sources it's not clear that the Mercian elements continue to 1070 anyway. The vagueness is that Swanton doesn't really cite that the Easter Table Chronicle is given the letter [I] because of the Rolls edition's A through F letters; he only says this for G and H. I think this is obvious enough that it doesn't need to be cited. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 18:21, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! Reference added to Commons as well. A455bcd9 (talk) 19:08, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Mike Christie and A455bcd9: - It looks like these issues have been resolved through citing or removing the uncited text. Is this article good to remove from WP:FARGIVEN and mark as satisfactory at WP:URFA/2020? Hog Farm _Talk 04:47, 14 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the reminder @Hog Farm:  Done a455bcd9 (Antoine) (talk) 07:55, 14 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• I read the article and can see no problems. Marked satisfactory. Desertarun (talk) 21:39, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Mike Christie this article is very different from the one you got promoted to FAC in 2007, and I am thinking of tidying the references and sources. Would it be OK with you if I convert them to sfn? Dudley Miles (talk) 14:58, 8 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sure -- I'm not a fan of sfn, but I'm not the only person who keeps an eye on this page so go ahead. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 15:27, 8 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not a fan of sfn either, but if you're keen to use it to harmonise the references then fair enough :-) Alarichall (talk) 16:59, 8 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It is not to harmonise the references but because I find it makes editing much easier as it alerts me to mistakes which I would otherwise miss. Dudley Miles (talk) 17:31, 8 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
