GB84[edit]

What happened to the standalone _GB84_ page? As a histrocial novel about the miners' strike of 1984-5, with real figures - Scargill, Thatcher - and historically based figures in it, it seems strange to miss the dedicated page out.

comment[edit]

Can we ditch the "amazingly well-written" in the Clough book section? This isn't a Year 9 English homework entitled 'My Favourite Book.' 88.109.6.79

Original Research, The Man Himself, or a PR?[edit]

How come whoever wrote this seems to know the titles of the novels Peace will be writing about six years in advance? This is needs to be referenced to its source. Also, unless anyone can give me a good reason why I shouldn't, I'm going to delete all the stuff above debating his work - this isn't the place for it.Bedesboy (talk) 22:05, 4 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Bibliography[edit]

I have commenced a tidy-up of the Bibliography section using cite templates. Capitalization and punctuation follow standard cataloguing rules in AACR2 and RDA, as much as Wikipedia templates allow it. ISBNs and other persistent identifiers, where available, are commented out, but still available for reference. Feel free to continue. Sunwin1960 (talk) 02:03, 5 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

There is absolutely no reason for commenting out identifiers such as ISBNs in these entries. They should be left alone so that readers can see them. Keith D (talk) 17:08, 6 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Remove banner?[edit]

I have added quite a few citations so it seems to be well sourced now, the banner could be removed? Enderbyinside (talk) 13:51, 21 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I mean the banner above the article that says "needs additional citations for verification". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Enderbyinside (talk • contribs) 13:53, 21 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I meant 'template', not used to the jargon yet. As there is not a huge amount of concern either way I will remove the current template, it can be re-instated, or another template added, if anyone is concerned. Enderbyinside (talk) 13:09, 24 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If people have new problems then would be useful to use the inline templates, so we know where the problem is rather than one at the top of the article. Keith D (talk) 17:16, 24 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, noted. Enderbyinside (talk) 14:46, 12 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Leaving polytechnic[edit]

It says he left polytechnic to go to Istanbul. Does this mean left without finishing his studies? 180.219.83.36 (talk) 06:37, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
