A few copy changes to take a look at, but that's about all. Solid article. Ping me when addressed. Sammi Brie (she/her · t · c) 04:58, 30 January 2025 (UTC)

Did you know? If you fancy doing so, I always have plenty of GA nominees to review. Just look for the all-uppercase titles in the Television section. Reviews always appreciated.

Copy changes

• The newspaper was sold after Bethell's death in 1909, and became Remove comma (WP:CINS)
• However, Cowen was secretly supportive of Japan, and unbenownst to Bethell, Correct some comma and spelling errors. However, Cowen was secretly supportive of Japan and, unbeknownst to Bethell,
• Try "left for Japan" not "left to Japan"
• Three straight paragraphs start with a date: "On 21 February 1907", "On 23 May 1907", "In 1907". Consider reshuffling a sentence to improve variety of paragraph starts.
• Bethell eventually won his second trial at the British Supreme Court for China in December 1908, and defiantly immediately returned to continue reporting. Remove comma (CINS)
• The paper stopped publishing in English, and Remove comma CINS

Sourcing and spot checks

I reviewed 1, 5, and 6. No issues found. The largest Earwig text issue is the attributed blockquote.

Images

The two newspaper scans are public domain. Normally, I'd suggest adding alt text, but here the only workable alt text is "Refer to caption".
