For this review, I am considering all sources to be reliable except the K and M antiques cite. This is just information written on some store-owner's web site, which is basically about as credible as a blog. However, that source claims that all their information came from what would probably be a credible secondary source, and nothing supported by this web cite is particularly questionable or controversial, so I'm calling the sources and citations good. It may be worthwhile to find a different source for those claims in the future.

Regarding coverage, I think everything's basically there, there's not much to write about. I wondered about needing a section for the value of collecting duncan miller glass, but when I looked into it, it doesn't look unusually pricey. Pretty nice, but they apparently made a whole lot of everything they made. Also, the article is about the company, so collecting the glass itself would only be a minor part of this article.

* It is not necessary at all to cite the same source over and over again after each sentence in a paragraph. For example, if one source covers four consecutive sentences, you can just put it after that 4th consecutive sentence in the paragraph which uses that source. (You probably still need to re-cite if needed for non-consecutive sentences or for the next paragraph) Having a cite after every single sentence when it is not necessary gets to be a bit distracting. (when a reference runs to footnote #ab, that could be a sign that the cites can be consolidated!) This is merely a comment on possible excessive cites. Like the other notes in this section, this comment has no impact on the outcome of a GA review if you really want to cite every sentence.

  • Is there a free or fair-use picture of all or any of the Duncan family members who started the company?
