Hi Nbhistorybuff. I have had a go at adjusting Draft:Alexander Wilmer Duff to be more in the Wikipedia style. Most of what I did was link to other people and places, and move some of the long list of general citations to be inline citations for particular facts. The ones I've left may be pages that could be used for you to source some of the paragraphs I tagged as needing citation or clarification.

I noticed that the page here is very similar to the corresponding page on WikiTree. This is not necessarily a problem since I think you wrote them both. See Wikipedia:Copyrights and WikiTree Help:Copying from Wikipedia.

Thank you for your contributions. Feel free to ask if there is anything else you think I can help with. I set up Alexander Wilmer Duff (Q110396110) on Wikidata for you, too. It has the link to WikiTree, but needs the Wikipedia article to be moved to mainspace before it can be linked. --Scott Davis ^Talk 10:49, 3 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

John A. Humphrey

Hi again Nbhistorybuff. Your edit to John A. Humphrey in January introduced a sentence using "MPP". I linked it, hoping to work out what it means, but couldn't pick an appropriate link target from the disambiguation page. Could you please have a look and either link it correctly, expand the initials to full words, or both? I wondered abut Member of Provincial Parliament (Canada) but that explicitly does not apply to New Brunswick, so if that is correct, it needs a new section like Member of Provincial Parliament (Ontario) which I am not competent to create. Thank you. --Scott Davis ^Talk 10:53, 16 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
