['Updated request first made on 19 Feb. 2015] Please see request added to top section (on Julian Sands program); an edit made by someone else on 24 Dec. 2014 created plagiarism from a source (current note 85). It removed quotation marks and added words ("notoriously pugnacious") not in the source ; the source uses all the other adjectives and puts them within quotation marks. Before these quoted words the source States that Pinter "knew" he was considered to be " 'enigmatic .....' " etc. Please delete the editor's added "notoriously pugnacious" and restore the quotation marks around the rest of the adjectives as per the source article as explained above (quotation within quotation marks). These are not Wikipedia's words; they seem to be Pinter's as quoted in the Economist (http://www.economist.com/node/21526301). The Economist's writer does not clearly identify the source of the quotation. Check Pinter's acceptance speech for his David Cohen British Literature Prize as a possibility. 66.66.27.196 (talk) 04:30, 19 February 2015 (UTC) Updated by adding proper SPER template. 66.66.27.196 (talk) 04:12, 11 March 2015 (UTC) Thus, requesting that one replace current sentence preceding source citation #85: Harold Pinter earned a reputation for being notoriously pugnacious, enigmatic, taciturn, terse, prickly, explosive and forbidding. (In which an edit added the unsourced words "notoriously pugnacious" and removed subsequent necessary internal quotation marks and quotation wthin quotation marks) with the following sentence: As Harold Pinter himself acknowledged, he "had earned a reputation for being 'enigmatic, taciturn, terse, prickly, explosive and forbidding'."[85] Also please add the URL in the Economist source citation 85 (as given above). Thank you. (Updated as per template.) 66.66.27.196 (talk) 04:12, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

Here's a link to a Telegraph obituary quoting Pinter's own use of the quoted words placed within his own quotation marks (suggesting some sense of self-irony). 66.66.27.196 (talk) 04:12, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
