Life[edit]

In the third proper paragraph of the Life section, we see this sentence:

"In recorded fact, Oscar Wilde’s lecture tour was underwritten and suggested by Mr. Liberty of Liberty’s of London and Mr. D’Oyly Carte to promote the latest successful Gilbert and Sullivan Musical “Patience” of the D’Oyly Carte Opera Company.^{[citation needed]"}

What does this have to do with Willie, or the failed marriage being previously discussed the rest of the paragraph? Tttttarleton (talk) 14:30, 5 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
