I'll be glad to take this review--comments in the next 1-2 days. I actually might try to tackle all four of your new coin nominations today; your articles are usually such quick passes that there's no reason to make them wait in the queue. We'll see if I get to it. Thanks as always for the contributions, and I hope things are continuing to improve for you on the health front. -- Khazar2 (talk) 12:40, 23 July 2013 (UTC)
- My health has improved, thanks, just about back to normal. Glad for your efforts on any or all.--Wehwalt (talk) 13:07, 23 July 2013 (UTC)
Initial comments
This looks ripe for promotion. I've made a few tweaks here and there; feel free to reverse any with which you disagree, as I'm not an expert in this area. (I am an expert in the St. Louis World's Fair, though, as is everyone from here. You wouldn't believe how much St. Louisans still talk about the fair, the last moment our city could be considered one of the world's major destinations--curse Chicago and its railroads--)
- "and stating that the changes were being made at Roberts's suggestion." --it seems unlikely that the new reverse stated that-- maybe something like "the new design for the reverse"?
- "noting that the gold dollar of the Panama-Pacific " -- "noted" is discouraged per WP:WTW; I've replaced this with "stating" if that's all right. This is more guideline than policy, though, so if you feel strongly, feel free to revert.
That's all I got; once that first point is fixed, this is probably ready to pass. I'll begin the checklist in a second to make sure I'm not missing anything. -- Khazar2 (talk) 14:01, 23 July 2013 (UTC)

Suggested correction: confusing shortened footnotes
The shortened footnotes refer to a work called "Bowers Encyclopedia, Part [n]", while the full references are to Bowers, Q. David. "Chapter 9: Gold commemoratives, Chapter [n]"—"encyclopedia" does not appear in the title, and "part" is replaced with "chapter". Please change where appropriate.

- I've switched the "chapter" to "part". On the other, I do not believe you are correct, the pages are from the digital edition of the book whose title is laid out in the refs, and which is stated on the webpages.--Wehwalt (talk) 03:17, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
- I have no opinion on which form is correct—I only think that the title used in the footnotes should match the full bibliography. הסרפד (call me Hasirpad) 04:34, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
What about "Bowers, Encyclopedia?
- Never mind about the "encyclopedia" part: my mistake. I didn't read the full bibliographic reference until the end. Thank you for fixing the chapter/part confusion. הסרפד (call me Hasirpad) 18:04, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
