COI
editI have marked this page with the COI template, because it appears to contain autobiographic and self-promoting details ("indisputably", "exhaustive research", "scrupulous editing"). The contributions by User:Henry Hardy seem to be in conflict with WP:AUTO guidelines. Needs cleanup to avoid it sounding like a PR puff for the illustrious Mr Hardy and his "indisputable" "lasting contributions" to arts and letters! Note the attempts at self-promotion by User:Henry Hardy on the article for Isaiah Berlin as well. —Zalktis (talk) 17:35, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
'Appears' is right. I am not the author of the phrases in question, as the history presumably shows. There is no COI, and the template should be removed. HH 163.1.182.13 (talk) 18:11, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
- The main body of this flattering text was created by 163.1.167.180, which is an Oxford University Computing Services registered IP address. It is thus not unreasonable to suspect that this text was posted by Mr Hardy himself, or someone with a close relationship to him, especially as "HH" above (claiming to be Mr Hardy) also posted with an OUCS-registered IP address. Pending a rewrite that tones down some of the unmitigated praise for the subject, I'd have to protest the removal of the COI template. — Zalktis (talk) 11:26, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
I don't know what more I can say. I have no idea who wrote the article, and have confined my own input to the correction of factual errors. If my word is doubted on this, so be it. HH 86.128.174.4 (talk) 16:00, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
- COI template has now been removed. Nevertheless, a few sources would be needed to back up some of the statememnts presented herein. — Zalktis (talk) 11:19, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
Wolfson sources
editAll of the sources, as well as the subject's Official website, previously hosted by wolf.ox.ac.uk, now produce "Not found (default 404)" errors. Any ideas? Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 22:13, 12 December 2019 (UTC)
- Note: all of those sources now "Forbidden". Martinevans123 (talk) 17:14, 2 January 2020 (UTC)
- I have inserted missing Titles in citations. The supposedly dead link Ref 8 works for me at the moment (Windows 10 PC) Brymor (talk) 14:17, 25 July 2022 (UTC)
No Bibliography?
editWhy is there no bibliography for HH? Surely his editions of Isaiah Berlin rate a mention: Liberty, The Roots of Romanticism, The Soviet Mind, Letters etc. Plus the Bowra edition. Brymor (talk) 21:24, 24 July 2022 (UTC)
