*Please unprotect this article. It should not be protected indefinitely, as is ''still'' the case. Even semi-protection prevents improvements by editors who are concerned about privacy and thus wish to remain anonymous. That violates Wilkipedia's editing policies. Anyone should be able to edit this article following Wikipedia's Manual of Style. It should not remain captive of a small group of editors and administrators who have little or even no knowledge about the subject or its main sources and thus cannot improve it. Both past and recent careless alterations have introduced errors that remain. [[Special:Contributions/204.138.179.3|204.138.179.3]] ([[User talk:204.138.179.3|talk]]) 19:42, 16 May 2012 (UTC) |

There are errors introduced throughout the templates (especially re: edited book collections of essays and incorrect or obsolete (unnecessary) ISSN instead of ISBN #s ; other misinformation) that could be corrected by other editors with actual knowledge of the sources ''if'' this article were unprotected. See pre-2009 versions of source citations (for details) and subsequent corrections and other important changes reverted by Jezhotwells and related editors during and after "peer" and "featured article" reviews. Some annotations of External links also have errors. Due primarily to Jezhotwells' many attempts to "own" this article (violating [[WP:OWN]], such errors and problems have affected this article for over four years, rendering it unreliable. His updated versions of several citation links should be retained, however. All source citations now need verification.

:: Sure. For starters, I would replace the images of Pinter as a young actor and in his last role, or from the Nobel Prize broadcast. It would be a great aid if there were images depicting performances (or just programme covers) of his most famous works. -- [[User:Ssilvers|Ssilvers]] ([[User talk:Ssilvers|talk]]) 18:05, 21 December 2011 (UTC) |

::: Strongly disagree. Inappropriate suggestions. Image of Pinter as actor from his official website mentioned in former suggestion previously rejected in feature article review due to W image policy violations. Jezhotwells added portion of still from Nobel Lecture clip into Info box some time ago. Re: latter suggestion: Works article where some such covers if useable more pertinent is allready W-linked. Much material pertaining to Pinter's literary work removed during featured article review.

I am sure that this image (HaroldPinter.jpg) is surely better than this (Pinterfoto cropped2.jpg)

- Unfortunately, this is not a free image and so it falls foul of the FAC criteria, please see the discussion at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Harold Pinter/archive1. --Jezhotwells (talk) 19:07, 23 June 2011 (UTC)

sacerdotal
I had to look this word up in a dictionary - I've never even heard it before. It currently appears in a quote. Can I suggest its presence indicates the quote is less than suitable for an accessable encyclopedia? Can someone suggest a truncation of the quote or its replacement altogether with original text? hamiltonstone (talk) 11:55, 11 July 2011 (UTC)
- It is a perfectly proper English word. Just beacuse some readers may have to look it up in a dictionary, I don't see any problem with its use. I often have to look up military tedchnical terms when reviewing military history artciles or even baseball or basketball artciles for that matter. Discovering new words and their meanings is one of the joys of reading. Jezhotwells (talk) 14:03, 11 July 2011 (UTC)
- I agree in general, I just wasn't sure if this wasn't a bit...extreme. If no other editor has raised it, then I agree that it is one of the joys of reading! hamiltonstone (talk) 03:32, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
Images
Sadly, this article has very few images. Can anyone do anything about this before it goes on the main page? Most of the images were deleted at FAC because of, IMO, overzealous and misinformed enforcement of WP:NFCC#8. -- Ssilvers (talk) 23:11, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
- Do you have any specific instances where another image would aid the encyclopaedic content of the article? Jezhotwells (talk) 03:09, 21 December 2011 (UTC)
- Sure. For starters, I would replace the images of Pinter as a young actor and in his last role, or from the Nobel Prize broadcast. It would be a great aid if there were images depicting performances (or just programme covers) of his most famous works. -- Ssilvers (talk) 18:05, 21 December 2011 (UTC)
