Talk:David Cannadine

ODNB
"Unfortunately recent analytical examination of selected ODNB articles online has revealed them to be both inaccurate and incomplete, particularly the older biographies; this has been brought to the attention of both the current Editor and Editor-designate as being the cause of all of these errors and ommissions being repeated in printed publication, including ironically those of Oxford University Press, eg the Darwin family, where 13 biographies have a grand total of 12 authors. [The Editor-designate badly needs to address these issues most urgently.]"

This is a serious problem, one which both OUP and ODNB are already well of, ODNB cannot be seen to be "fit for purpose" if and when individual biographies contain errors/ommissions; for example one famous author's biography contains no reference to her having killed her husband, and committing suicide; both facts having been in the public domain since 2000 when her biography was published!

 * I've removed this both here and on the DNB article. If we're going to discuss a "recent analytical examination", we have to be able to cite it. We can't simply refer to a study without any details by which the reader can assess its validity or relevance; you clearly have some knowledge of this, so please make sure it's published somewhere so we can figure out how best to include it.
