Conflict of interest[edit]

Hello SkylarWoodward, it appears that your account is an WP:SPA. If you have any connection to John Hall you should declare that WP:COI here on the talk page. TipsyElephant (talk) 14:11, 3 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, no, not connected. I just very much enjoyed Lizard on the Rock and Wrang-Gaites and was surprised that there wasn't a Wikipedia page for him, bearing in mind how many plays he wrote.

My account isn't WP:SPA, but it is taking me a long time to work out how to edit and help out. ~~~~ SkylarWoodward (talk) 20:48, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Notability[edit]

SkylarWoodward, would you mind pointing to the WP:THREESOURCES that you believe best demonstrates that John Hall passes WP:BIO? Before you do so, you may want to give WP:GOLDENRULE a quick read so you know what AfC reviewers are looking for. TipsyElephant (talk) 14:13, 3 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, another user has already requested other articles about John Hall or his work from mainstream newspapers. That is what I'm working on now. It is quite time-consuming as it involves going into archives etc ~~~~ SkylarWoodward (talk) 20:50, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
