My only problem is with the "bravely." Otherwise, except, I suppose, for the bizarrely archaic prose, I don't have any problem with this article. Hydriotaphia 05:07, Dec 19, 2004 (UTC)
I agree that "bravely" displays a bias best ommitted, and I have revised accordingly. Other than that, I fail to understand the nature of the objections to the entry. Perhaps those who flagged the article would be kind enough to indicate the nature of the alleged problems. To me the article, aside from the one misplaced adjective, is scrupulously objective. I'd be happy to work further on the article if needed.--BenJonson 00:24, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Apart from a rather excessive interest in praising various Novocastrian libraries, I can't see what's NPOV about this article. Paul B 11.28, 20 Mar (UTC)
I have noted the last point and removed the first Lit and Phil reference.author: Emmet 3.52, 8 May
Does this article really need to be disputed? Seems fine to me? User:mattsday 12:52, May 22, 2005 (UTC)
Today I edited this page to read "teacher and scholar." Without comment, someone silently edited out the word "scholar." I'd like to know why. What is so threatening about acknowleding Looney as a scholar? Also, I added a reference to Looney's critical role in 1921, with Sir George Greenwood, the author of a half dozen or more books on the Shakespearean question and a british MP active in the India Independence campaign, in founding the Shakespeare Fellowship. I respectfully request that whoever removed these edits without comment justify their reasons for doing so. Thanks.--BenJonson 03:26, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
