Quote template?

Hi all, I've been experimenting with {{cquote}} and {{bquote}} for this article; which one looks better? Should we also try {{rquote}}? Open to any and all ideas, Willow 21:09, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Fine article

Well done on this. I know it was transferred from the main article, so there were more involved. It's a good read and balances heavy facts with curious details and quotes, and has a goldilocks balance on use of citations. I made a few small edits (forgot to sign in). Too tired to have a look at the quote templates.--Shtove 19:18, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Encyclopeadia Britannica Films

I don't understand why in either article (the main one or this one), there is no mention of the filmmaking arm of this company. I greatly enjoyed watching the films they made when I was in school and most everyone who was in any grammar school up to the 1990's certainly viewed several of them at some point. If someone doesn't add something, I will. 24.177.168.130 (talk) 03:53, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

GA Review

This review is transcluded from Talk:History of the Encyclopædia Britannica/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

This article does not meet the good article criteria and has too many issues. It has therefore failed its nomination. Issues include but are not limited to:

• Insufficient references, especially for quotes
  • "Historical context"
  • "1st edition"
  • "1st edition"
  • "3rd edition"
  • "4th edition"
  • etc.

Once these issues have been resolved, feel free to renominate the article. Thanks! Gary King (talk) 01:13, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

Costs and related sales materials

I see some mention of a few costs, but I'd like to know if anyone can dig up the historical costs of EB. Are there any recent (20yr or less) color flyers, or something more modern? The old scans are great! 66.190.241.89 (talk) 04:40, 9 November 2014 (UTC)
