A fact from May Byron appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 4 November 2012 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that May Byron wrote a series of biographies of which critics could not decide whether they were first-hand experiences or fiction based on research?

Peter Pan

She may be known best for her authorised version of the Peter Pan story --we say, and provide a source. OK. We continue (quote):

Her original abridgement in 1915 was titled "Peter Pan and Wendy", the first to use that form. She also re-wrote the J. M. Barrie's Peter Pan novels "for little readers" or "for the nursery". [footnote source: "Peter Pan". Evening Post. 11 July 1925. Retrieved 30 October 2012.]

Three problems: That source supports 1925, not 1915. It doesn't mention that the title is new (as perhaps it wasn't in 1925). It doesn't use the quoted words. --P64 (talk) 23:13, 24 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Continued. At Peter Pan#Physical appearance we provide a cover image with caption "Cover of 1915 edition of J. M. Barrie's novel, first published in 1911, illustrated by F. D. Bedford."

That cover displays title Peter Pan and Wendy, which differs from 1911 Peter and Wendy. Documentation provided for the image File[1] does not give a source for the 1915 date. Nor does it identify the book as an edition of the novel; it may contain an abridged text. The contributor username is inactive since August 2006. --P64 (talk) 23:28, 24 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
