Hi Lyddonian -- Thanks for removing nonreliable sources and replacing with The Guardian obituary, however we cannot just use the Guardian's words as they are copyrighted; it's necessary to rewrite everything in your own words. Regards, Espresso Addict (talk) 01:08, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for January 19
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Charles Campion, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Tiverton. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Jo Johnson
[edit]Please self-revert your edit on Charlotte Johnson Wahl. Baron Johnson of Marylebone is just a title, not Jo Johnson's real name. If you continue edit-warring I'll complain you to the admins. LéKashmiriSocialiste (talk) 22:00, 14 September 2021 (UTC)
Per MOS:HONORIFIC: Except for the initial reference and infobox, do not add honorific titles to existing instances of a person's name where they are absent, because doing so implies that the existing version is incorrect (similar in spirit to the guideline on English spelling differences). Similarly, honorific titles should not be deleted when they are used throughout an article unless there is consensus. Where the use of an honorific title is widely misunderstood, this can be mentioned in the article; see, for example, Bob Geldof. Honorific titles used with forenames only (such as "Sir Elton", "Sir David", "Dame Judi") should be avoided unless this form is so heavily preferred in popular usage that the use of the surname alone would render the entire name unrecognizable.
I ask you to stop adding Jo Johnson's title. LéKashmiriSocialiste (talk) 12:52, 15 September 2021 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Nardog. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Jack Windsor Lewis, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Nardog (talk) 04:53, 7 October 2021 (UTC)

Dear Lyddonian, I hope is OK to bother you and thanks for your additions and help on the page on David Beetham. Do you have any more sources that can be used to support some of the info added. Is Margaret Newbigin for example the "Home Is Where" Margaret Newbigin Beetham - the daughter of Lesslie Newbigin and could there be a page on Margaret Newbigin - should she be red inked on the page on David Beetham? No worries if not - or not interested. (Msrasnw (talk) 10:33, 27 July 2022 (UTC))
- Hello, I used the sources I added to the piece and also the freebmd site (https://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl) to trace the wife's maiden name. I was able to cross-check accuracy with the birth records of the two daughters named in the Leeds University obituary. I'm afraid I'm unaware of any connection between Margaret Newbigin and Lesslie Newbigin. Lyddonian (talk) 10:54, 27 July 2022 (UTC)

Hello Lyddonian. Well done for your recent updates to this article. Would you be agreeable to it being nominated at WP:ITN/RD? Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 20:33, 6 November 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks. I'm not sure exactly what a nomination would be for, but I have no objection. Lyddonian (talk) 08:00, 7 November 2024 (UTC)
- In The News on the Main page carries a list of people (who have articles) who have recently died. The overall purpose, as with most of the main page content, is to showcase good articles. This one seems quite well constructed and well referenced. You would get the credit for updating it. Alternatively, you could always nominate it yourself and also get the credit for that. I'd certainly vote in support. Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 08:22, 7 November 2024 (UTC)
- Have now nominated. Regards. Martinevans123 (talk) 09:16, 7 November 2024 (UTC)
