Information icon Hello, I'm Peaceray. I noticed that you recently removed content from Lucy Wills without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. You left no edit surrmary explaining why you removed the "BurekHiggs2007" footnotes & the Sutton Coldfield wikilink, plus other material. Peaceray (talk) 21:30, 3 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Peaceray.
I have just googled your name and see that you are a real person, not some automated response!
Lucy Wills was my great aunt. I knew her well, she died when I was 17. I hold a large volume of archives relating to her, in fact all the archives other than those at the Royal Free. I know Victor Hoffbrand who has just produced a biography of her. It was I who wrote the original Wiki article about her back in 2009.
I would like to improve the current version of the Wiki article, much mauled as a result of the Google Doodle about her in 2019.
Can you help me? I am obviously not an expert editor on Wiki, having no experience of it!
