I suggest that most of the content about the Brash biography gets moved to an article about the book itself once that has been written. Schwede66 11:59, 26 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The link supporting the MA in history is dead. Should that be removed? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2407:7000:9B74:AF01:4403:4B75:6498:2C47 (talk) 09:34, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The underlying principle is that content should be referenced, but there is no requirement that the reference be online. If something used to be online, that’s good enough. In this case, another editor has found an archived reference, which is better still. Schwede66 16:57, 4 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
