Hi. You originally created this article with the title Sean O'Callaghan (Journalist) to distinguish it from the other Sean O'Callaghan (IRA ex-member) but then you moved it to Sean O'Callaghan (Playwright).
As you will see from my edits your original title was correct - this Sean O'Callaghan wrote no plays but was indeed a journlalist and also writer of non-fiction books. His widely-cited book on the deportation of Irish people to Barbados, mistakenly calling them slaves, has made him somewhat notable.

Hello! Thank you for expanding the page of William Rundell. Honestly, I think I probably should've looked up what a philatelist is before determining the sources I was finding didn't his notability. I thought a philatelist was similar to a botanist but it turns out that a philatelist is an avid stamp collector.

I know I already gave you a barnstar, but about a month ago I would've thought that there was no way William Rundell would be featured in the DYK section of the main page. When I saw it, it was literally only 1 sentence. Yet here we are now, the article having undergone a major expansion and having been featured as a DYK. Way to go!

Hi. You originally created this article with the title Sean O'Callaghan (Journalist) to distinguish it from the other Sean O'Callaghan (IRA ex-member) but then you moved it to Sean O'Callaghan (Playwright).
As you will see from my edits your original title was correct - this Sean O'Callaghan wrote no plays but was indeed a journlalist and also writer of non-fiction books. His widely-cited book on the deportation of Irish people to Barbados, mistakenly calling them slaves, has made him somewhat notable.
Although I'm a seasoned WP editor I'd rather leave it to you to revert the title back! if you wouldn't mind. Unless you feel a different title is appropriate. Straw Cat ( talk) 00:49, 2 August 2021 (UTC)

Hello! Thank you for expanding the page of William Rundell. Honestly, I think I probably should've looked up what a philatelist is before determining the sources I was finding didn't his notability. I thought a philatelist was similar to a botanist but it turns out that a philatelist is an avid stamp collector. So the sources I Found related to him having something to do with stamps were actually rather relevant. Blaze The Wolf | Proud Furry and Wikipedia Editor ( talk) 13:53, 26 August 2021 (UTC)

I know I already gave you a barnstar, but about a month ago I would've thought that there was no way William Rundell would be featured in the DYK section of the main page. When I saw it, it was literally only 1 sentence. Yet here we are now, the article having undergone a major expansion and having been featured as a DYK. Way to go! You definitely deserve this for managing to do something like that. ― Blaze The Wolf TalkBlaze Wolf#0001 14:41, 20 September 2021 (UTC) |
