- I don't see TimesNowNews as a reputable reliable source. A much better source would be The Guardian, but for me his inclusion would be a dubious, one-trick notability magnified only by his death. (Widespread internet reports of his death do not assert an automatic notability for him.) The pig kidney transplant first has not so far been seen as worthy of having its own event article, so there's currently nothing to redirect to from an entry. Not being done by me, but others may disagree and include it. Thanks. Ref (chew)(do) 18:34, 12 May 2024 (UTC)
Owen John Thomas[edit]
The postnominal letters for a member of the National Assembly for Wales were AM (for 'Assembly Member') not MNA (presumably 'Member of the National Assembly'?) as currently shown in the list. Could this be corrected please? 217.155.59.206 (talk) 12:17, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
- Not so. The body is now known as the Senedd and a representative is therefore a Member of the Senedd or MS for short. Your analysis was true prior to 2020, when the body was known as the National Assembly for Wales. - Derek R Bullamore (talk) 12:45, 15 May 2024 (UTC) PS. I am partly correct in this - Owen John Thomas actually left the Assembly in 2007, when the previous 'names' were in effect. - Derek R Bullamore (talk) 14:05, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
- I'm aware of the change in 2020 thank you, which is why I wrote that the postnominal letters were AM not that they are. I think it's reasonable that the description should be correct for the time in which the individual in question served, thus AM, not MS. Both link to the same article, but the fact that they're different shouldn't be ignored 217.155.59.206 (talk) 12:09, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
Canadian retirement AND questionable claims of compound surnames[edit]
Arthur Irving is being shown as chairman of Irving Oil "since 1992". The company's website announced his death referring to him as "Chairman Emeritus" and a source linked in his article indicates that he stepped down as substantive chairman in October 2023.
I note that someone re-alphabetized Mary Wells Lawrence from "Lawrence" to "Wells" and a while back the listing on the death of Mary Higgins Clark was moved from "Clark" to "Higgins". While Wells Rich Greene was founded before Mary Wells married Harding Lawrence,both women used their husbands' surnames and I don't think they claimed compound surnames...does any "alpha by author" catalogue list Mrs. Clark under "H"?71.105.190.227 (talk) 07:50, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
