Material from A. J. Raffles was split to A. J. Raffles (character) on 22 February 2014. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted so long as the latter page exists. Please leave this template in place to link the article histories and preserve this attribution. The former page's talk page can be accessed at Talk:A. J. Raffles.
I just left a message with the Help Desk about this. I didn't create any of this content, I simply moved it from the A. J. Raffles page. And, indeed, the pre-split article looks remarkably similar to http://www.factualworld.com/article/A._J._Raffles. The wikipedia article has a history of incremental edits, though, so I'm wondering if it's possible that the copy when the other direction. I'm not sure what's going on, but I'm attempting to look into it. --Morphovariant (talk) 21:45, 22 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Help Desk confirmed that factualworld.com is copying Wikipedia, not the other way around. Notice removed. --Morphovariant (talk) 21:58, 22 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
This article needs an account of Raffles career in print, and a list of Raffles principal collections, if not all stories. When were the stories written? How many? (There are many story and book articles at Wikipedia.) --P64 (talk) 02:47, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
That info is on a different article: Raffles stories and adaptations. There is a link to it at the top of this article. (There used to be only one A. J. Raffles article for both the character and the stories, but it was split into two articles in 2014.) If it would be helpful, I could make the link to that other article more noticeable.

Looking over them again, I think both articles have changed over time and an argument could be made for merging them back together, but that would be a different discussion. In any case, I've added a 'Works' section to this article with a short list of the Raffles books and a prominent link to the Raffles stories article. Miles26 (talk) 00:18, 21 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. That yields 90% of the value. I revised the headnote to use template {{main}}, which achieves 91% maybe.
I have worked on some of those characters or series or novels, such as characters Mary Poppins and Doctor Dolittle and The Borrowers. Ah! the fictional nanny has been renamed Mary Poppins (character) --no doubt, thanks to the 2018 film return-- whose parenthetical disambiguation serves notice to the hasty reader.
And we have biographies of prolific writers with zero listings in their biography Works sections. --P64 (talk) 18:17, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
