Just trying out a new keyboard with predictive text. Hence Atkins rather than about.

I like the title. 
Did somebody say that John Ruskin was 'the greatest Victorian other than Victoria'? If so, ,maybe a footnote?
Or am I missing something?

In the ignorance of my bliss I had thought that the quote was from Lytton Strachey (who wrote "Eminent Victorians") but I can find no immediate trace, either via quotation reference books or Mr. Google. Ruskin was not included amongst his biographies. Having said that, it must come from somewhere - certainly not from my remaining grey cell alone. Thus you can either take away the quotation marks or just delete it altogether. I have, I am afraid, forgotten how to write in guideML. Apologies.

Ah, I see. I wondered who'd said that.
If you take out the quotations, I'd suggest adding 'arguably', or similar.Because it's just remotely possible that some readers might not agree about John Ruskin.

I will convert it to Guide Ml as I am applying the update and remove this from Peer Review for you
Would you like the title changing to "W J Linton, Victorian Geezer, with beard" or to remain as WJ Linton - Engraver and Author?
