Untitled[edit]

The following odd change was made by an editor with a handful of edits to his name:

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sheila_Fitzpatrick&diff=362146274&oldid=358016410

It is very unusual that Fitzpatrick's father's alleged sympathies are mentioned here (without citations), whereas his own wikipedia page seems to paint a much more balanced picture. Sh. Fitzpatrick's personal life is also gone into in too much detail. Feketekave (talk) 10:52, 26 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Bibliography[edit]

I have commenced a tidy-up of the Bibliography section using cite templates and tables for short stories, poems and/or book reviews. Capitalization and punctuation follow standard cataloguing rules in AACR2 and RDA, as much as Wikipedia templates allow it. ISBNs and other persistent identifiers, where available, are commented out, but still available for reference. Feel free to continue. Sunwin1960 (talk) 04:13, 4 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

British?[edit]

Her autobiography mentions holding a British passport in the period after Australians no longer held British passports (post 1967).^[1]

Recent edits[edit]

I quickly fixed a few things. Keep in mind that some of them were not only of doubtful quality or interpretation by a wikipedian of primary sources, but also copyright violations. For example, Sheila Fitzpatrick almost singlehandedly created the field of Soviet social history with an impressive series of pioneering, now classic studies was a copyright violation. Welcome to fix/restore if properly written, sourced to secondary RS by 3rd parties and without copyright violations. My very best wishes (talk) 23:01, 1 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
