"Since The War" doesn't mean the 20th C.

Would think that's kind of obvious. Nonetheless, someone has written: "His The Pursuit of the Millennium was ranked as one of the 100 most influential books of the 20th century." And this was referenced to a TLS article entitled: "The hundred most influential books since the war". WTF? Was the war referred to the Boer war??? No. The reference makes it clear it is the mid-century WWII tht is referred to. There should be a policy prohibiting high-functioning retards from editing wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 116.228.6.74 (talk) 15:20, 29 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Death

Earlier this week someone has anonymously declared Norman Cohn dead without giving any sources. This is generally unacceptable and in this case even worse because the only source I could find, The Daily Telegraph, gives a different date and no information concerning the place of death at all.

If no source for the different information is added within the next days, I will modify the date and delete the place of death. Wikipedia articles must only contain information that has been published elsewhere as well. --217.232.150.186 19:40, 3 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Come to think of it, the whole bloody thing is unreferenced, isn't it? I've tagged it as such and removed the unverified information per the obituary. Canadian Paul 03:37, 7 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I added a link to the net version of the before mentioned Guardian obituary on the bottom here. --Strappado 16:55, 24 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Astor

It says Cohn was approached after Astor gave a speech, which makes no logical sense. EITHER Cohn gave the speech, occasioning Astor's approach, OR Astor did indeed give the speech but was subsequently approached by Cohn. I'm betting it is the former, not the latter, but a source would be nice here, as confirmation or disconfirmation.Theonemacduff (talk) 21:16, 3 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
