Article location

From recollection "H. Montgomery Hyde" is the name that appears on his books - would that be a better location? If there's no objection at all I'll move the page in three days. Timrollpickering 21:33, 11 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No mention

According to the article Battle of Cape Matapan, Hyde published a story in 1966 alleging that the spy Amy Elizabeth Thorpe seduced Admiral Alberto Lais, (the Italian naval attaché in Washington, D.C.) and that she obtained a codebook used by the British to defeat the Italians at Matapan. It continued : "Hyde was found guilty of libeling the dead." The reference given was ^[1]. There is nothing in this article about this. Does anyone have a copy of the book to provide details?

Ref Improve Tag

MyTuppence the vast majority of this article is unreferenced. Please restore the ref improve maintenance tag that you have repeatedly removed without explanation or resolution of the problem. Your editing appears WP:DISRUPTIVE. -Ad Orientem (talk) 06:45, 17 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I concur with Ad Orientem. Five references comes no where close to being appropriate for this article. IMO Hyde (a dab hand at research) would be embarrassed to see the lack of sourcing in his article. MarnetteD|Talk 05:28, 20 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't remove references. Account Control (talk) 13:23, 20 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No one has removed any references. The tag is a request for references to be added. MarnetteD|Talk 13:24, 20 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please look again at your edit. Account Control (talk) 13:31, 20 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I have restored the ref. That does not change the fact that you removed the tag that asks for references to be added to the article. MarnetteD|Talk 13:36, 20 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Re H. Montgomery Hyde revert

Hi Moriori. Re your revert(s): there now is a redirect for "History of homosexuality in Great Britain and Ireland (#REDIRECT Timeline of LGBT history in the United Kingdom) I understand your first revert but the second time it's not redlinked anymore. I'd appreciate if we can resolve this amicably. Regards. DadaNeem (talk) 09:16, 4 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Of course. Let's look at the problematic paragraph:

"Hyde later in 1972 wrote the first history of homosexuality in Great Britain and Ireland, The Other Love, perhaps his most memorable and long-lasting work. With its rich and detailed narratives, "fusing legal knowledge with illustrative anecdotage," it was the most extensive book on the subject. Antony Grey, secretary of the Homosexual Law Reform Society (HLRS) provided case histories and cuttings from the society's files for its contemporary section."

The link in the first sentence does not go to a first history of homosexuality in Great Britain and Ireland, or to the book The Other Love. It goes to a redirect to a Wiki list which is hardly the same thing. Another point, the paragraph is missing references.

Maybe I am seeing a problem where there isn't one, so tell you what, I will copy this over to the article's talk page to hopefully get more input. Moriori (talk) 23:01, 4 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
