Thank you for your contribution at Olivia Frank[edit]

Am I correctly assuming that you are the author of this article? FortunateSons (talk) 11:10, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. I wrote the Tablet article. I also contributed a full obituary, published by Lobster at https://www.lobster-magazine.co.uk/article/issue/88/olivia-jayne-frank-1956-2023-2/ Andrew rosthorn (talk) 11:23, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That’s quite detailed, thank you very much. I’m looking to include it into the article, but would like to run it through the reliable sources noticeboard first because I would like to heavily use it. Is that ok? FortunateSons (talk) 11:36, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Certainly OK. Andrew rosthorn (talk) 11:37, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Perfect, thank you! FortunateSons (talk) 11:38, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Here, I don’t think it should be an issue, but would tag you in case an in-depth question appears? FortunateSons (talk) 12:03, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
OK. Andrew rosthorn (talk) 12:39, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It might be worth pointing out to Rainsage that Olivia Frank's last book The Third Direction includes on pages 207 and 337 scanned images of two Security Service letters, including the image of a government envelope addressed to "Mr & Mrs J Frank". Both letters to Mr and Mrs Frank are signed by "T. Denham for the Director General" of MI5. The The Third Direction also includes on page 399 the text of a key email sent to the banker Elizabeth Forsyth by one of the Asil Nadir trial barristers. The accuracy of Olivia Frank's account of her encounters with Elizabeth Forsyth in prisons at Holloway and Cookham Wood was confirmed by Mrs Forsyth in personal interviews and emails, published at https://www.lobster-magazine.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/lob79-mossad-john-le-carre.pdf Andrew rosthorn (talk) 23:19, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for the additional information, that’s quite interesting. I will bring it up if there are further disputes regarding the reliability of specific claims :) FortunateSons (talk) 23:28, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
