[edit] Sources

This is my first attempt to add fairly major changes to an article. Unfortunately, I don't actually know a lot about the man beyond one series of his books and his Guardian columns. Contributions, corrections, etc, gratefully received.

Apparently I am supposed to cite my sources. I took the names and ISBNs and publishers of the books off the backs of my copies of them. They are different from the ISBNs on Amazon. I don't know why. So I left mine in and ignored Amazon's. I took the (minimal, I know) details on his career from an issue of UCL News which covered his retirement and from the URLs listed in "External References". If they should be in the talk section, or the URL above in the main article, please rearrange to taste.

[edit] Literary theory

There was a reference to literary theory in the version I edited. It fell out. Feel free to restore it. I don't know anything about literary theory.

[edit] Text messaging

"Beep. It's from Hamlet. 2B? NT2B?=???", from Reuters, on Nov. 16th, available at [1] was my source. I doubt that link will last long, and I don't know how to cite it.--Prosfilaes 20:36, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Oxford World's Classics

"He is especially noteworthy for being the only author published by the significant imprint of Oxford University Press, Oxford World's Classics during his own lifespan."

"Henry V, War Criminal? and Other Shakespeare Puzzles" by Sutherland, published in that series, was co-authored by Cedric Watts. I haven't done an exhaustive search, but it strikes me unlikely that's the only exception.--Prosfilaes 03:41, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Controversy

Just created/edited the controversy section. Here are some links:

• Removing per WP:BLP. Abusive attack video contains the likes of "Die! You asshole!" -- plus it is hardly notable enough for an encyclopedia entry. -- Stbalbach 21:02, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
