This page needs clean-up. Poorly written. Zaslav 07:43, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] John Ponsonby
The article says, "The one man with whom Harriette fell deeply in love, John Ponsonby...". However, the linked Ponsonby cannot be correct, since he died when Wilson was three years old. Wikipedia has two other candidates with the same name, whose age makes the relationship feasible: John Ponsonby, 4th Earl of Bessborough and John Ponsonby, 1st Viscount Ponsonby. Does anyone happen to know which of these was the man in question? Or, if it is neither, which other Ponsonby it could be? -- Hux 08:53, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Speedy deletion tag
When researching the above, I came across this page, which contains an excerpt from a book about Wilson. As you can see, the text is almost identical to that added in this diff, so I tagged the page for speedy deletion on the basis of blatant copyright infringement. If speedy deletion is not appropriate then perhaps it can simply be reverted to a much earlier diff, before the infringing material was added. -- Hux 09:15, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
- I took out the Guardian review stuff and took off the speedy tag. It can be rewritten and kept. Daniel Case 14:23, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
The Ponsonby in question was 1st Viscount Ponsonby. See Lesley Blanch's introduction to her edition of Wilson's memoirs. Misskaylea (talk) 17:20, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
