May 1918 lynchings
Add citation for some elements of the description of the death by lynching of Mary Turner and her unborn child. (The bibliography in Straw Dogs also contains the following "The Guardian, 7 July 2000, reprints the story of the death of Mary Turner from George magazine, July 2000." I cannot locate these further sources.)Tag: Visual edit

Grizzy & the Lemmings
→Synopsis: Proofing: join two sentences as the second continues the thought in the first and begins with "but". ps. apologies for the last uncommented edit which was more substantial than this and the one that preceded it. It is an attempt to reduce redundancy and ambiguity.Tag: Visual edit

Billy Nomates
→Reception: Add the Laura Snapes article to reception since Billy Nomates was picked out as one to watch. (I have linked to a non-existent page on Snapes as I think she may be considered notable.)Tag: Visual edit

Billy Nomates
→Life: Add the origin of her stage name, sourced from a review in the Guardian. This could be in the next section but this would split reference to the Sleaford Mods gig so I left it in Life.Tag: Visual edit

Antimicrobial resistance
→Natural occurrence: Remove mis-formatted reference to Wikipedia page which does not include a reference for the statement and displayed incorrectly. Correct spelling of Alexander Fleming. Link first mention of Penicillin to the appropriate page as in-line internal link rather than reference.Tag: Visual edit

Vladimír Boudník
→Biography: Add citations for Boudník's meeting /friendship with Hrabal and his suicide. (That he died of asphyxiation is a clearer matter than that it was intentional but this source has the latter not the former, hence the position.)Tag: Visual edit

Vladimír Boudník
→Boudník as an artist: Add citations to sentence relating to Hrabal's writing about Boudník. Change of wording. The Gentle Barbarian could be considered a novel (Hrabal himself only thought of I Served the King of England as such and in his latest collected works it is in a volume titled "novels"); otherwise, Boudník features in stories, an autobiography, and Hrabal's literary journalism so "texts" is, I think, clearer.Tag: Visual edit

Edit sentence relating to Egon Bondy writing texts for The Plastic People of the Universe; the texts were written in the 1950s and were set to music in the mid 1970s. Add sources for this statement.Tag: Visual edit

Bohumil Hrabal
→Early life: Add a source for statement that both of Hrabal's parents ie. mother and stepfather, were involved in amateur dramatics (there are, I think, more sources for his mother's involvement but here both played in a play by Alois Jirásek called Vojnarka).Tag: Visual edit

Bohumil Hrabal
→Early life: Add some detail relating to Hrabal's relationship to his stepfather, František Hrabal. Since his stepfather is a character in several of his most important novellas and appears in one of the better known films, this is, I think, relevant here.Tag: Visual edit

Bohumil Hrabal
→Death: Rework section relating to the myth of Hrabal falling to his death while feeding pigeons. This has been recanted by its originator, Professor Dungl of Bulovka hospital. I have reused sources where possible.Tag: Visual edit
