The article currently states that his original name was Ryszard Przecicki. However, the National Archives of Australia (www.naa.gov.au) has a record of Raphael PRZETYCKI aged four arriving in Australia in 1939 with his family, including Arja Lejb PRZETYCKI. A subsequent record shows that Arja Leab PRZETYCKI was known as Leon PRATT. Just to add to the confusion, the Victorian Death Index shows that Leon PRATT's father was Josef PRZEPYCKI. 220.253.52.103 ( talk) 23:35, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
For starters we don't need such a long passage about his death. Unfortunately some people see Wikipedia as a newsite.-- Jack Upland ( talk) 10:48, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
OK, is it 10 December (lede and infobox) or 12 March (text) 1934? -- JackofOz ( talk) 21:47, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
I have undone Bidgee's recent edit because it seems to be about airbrushing. I don't think there's any real doubt that he was involved in criminality. If there is an alternative interpretation of events it should be cited. Nor do I see a problem saying that he donated to Israeli causes (unless it's untrue).-- Jack Upland ( talk) 10:23, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
I don't think the Israeli donations are a secret - see http://www.prattfoundation-israel.co.il/-- Jack Upland ( talk) 01:11, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
I think you're misinterpreting the primary source/original research issue. There's nothing wrong with that citation. You seem to see the Israeli issue as a slur, whereas I think it's purely factual. There is a lot of uncited material in the article but you're picking on this.
As to the criminality, there is ample evidence given in the article. The criminal charges were only dropped because he was dying. Sure, you can be legalistic about it, but that's no reason to delete the fact that his honour was handed back.-- Jack Upland ( talk) 01:28, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
Pratt, being Jewish, could not possibly have been the godfather to Deborah Beale. The source referenced from The Australian was a misinformed piece of journalism. Pratt was perhaps "like" a godfather to Ms Beale. Anglicant ( talk) 12:19, 11 February 2017 (UTC)
