Removed Errors but Page Needs Help!

If I remember how the heck to tag that it needs some help I will, but for now a summary of the edits I just did and the help that is needed:

The "remarks" citation from Ernest Marples was not just odd but also pointing to a paywalled site, have removed it, replaced with ^{[citation needed]} and will leave it for a bit then just remove that little bit altogether if no one finds a suitable reference.
The quote below it is nuts: first, it is very first person yet does not say who is quoted. Second, it had a citation that was replaced in July 2020 with a completely different article. Neither work, or are correct. Again, I think I will make a note to come back and remove it (even though it is interesting) because it just can't be sourced - well, I only tried for 20-30 minutes to find anything resembling it and struck out. I'd *love* to know who said it.

Hoping someone takes an interest here and can help. Thanks --gobears87 (talk) 23:53, 26 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

The Ernest Marples citation was not to a paywalled site when it was posted. The site has since introduced a requirement for registration and payment.

The second quote is taken verbatim from an article by Will Self in The New Statesman magazine.

In both cases the citations have effectively suffered link rot. The original quotes were entirely correct but I don't have alternative links to the original sources. Ponolan (talk) 14:47, 14 September 2025 (UTC)Reply

Rosamund Stacey does not live in Castrol House. As per page 9, she lives in an early twentieth century building. She certainly admires Castrol House but she does not live in it. In any case it was an office building at the time of the novel. 2001:8003:433A:D500:588:7596:5D26:99CA (talk) 08:15, 29 September 2023 (UTC)Reply
