# Talk:Histoire Naturelle

It has been a while since this article was last reviewed, so I took a look and noticed lots of uncited statements, including entire paragraphs. The lead also is quite short and does not summarise all major aspects of the article. Should this article go to WP:GAR? Z1720 (talk) 01:48, 29 June 2025 (UTC)

No need for that. Many of the uncited paragraphs are simply descriptions of the content, i.e. they are the equivalent of a "Plot" section which is implicitly cited to the book itself. I've added subsection headings and rearranged slightly to make this clearer. I've added refs for the various editions and translations. Chiswick Chap (talk) 11:02, 29 June 2025 (UTC)
@Chiswick Chap: Thanks for stepping forward. There are some statements in "Authors and artists" that will need citations. I am happy to add citation needed templates to those places if requested. The lead could also be expanded to include all major aspects of the article. Z1720 (talk) 14:11, 29 June 2025 (UTC)
Keep: Normally I'd consider a book's authors, like its table of contents, to be adequately cited to the primary source. Given the complexity of this work, spread over many decades, I've added secondary sources to account for the major authors and artists involved. I've extended the lead to reflect the article's contents. Chiswick Chap (talk) 14:45, 29 June 2025 (UTC)
My concerns have been resolved. Z1720 (talk) 14:47, 29 June 2025 (UTC)
