Talk:David Downie

Untitled
The title should include his middle initial as there are other people with the same name. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.121.192.148 (talk) 21:20, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
 * The article was moved, and then moved back, a long time ago now. This is the name that David Downie uses on his published work. A headnote links to David L. Downie, the environmental scholar, and and I think that was the right solution. Andrew Dalby 19:48, 24 February 2021 (UTC)

Starting to revise
I'm beginning to work on this article, adding references, revising the text.

I removed the "COI" tag, because I think this arose from the single edit by "DownieDavid1337". If I'm right, this wasn't a useful edit, and surely wasn't written by the subject of the article, it was a little joke or low-level vandalism. It has already been reverted.

 * I'm still working on the text, but I think there are now enough citations of sources, so I am removing the "More sources needed" tag. If anyone disagrees, please comment. Andrew Dalby 16:59, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
 * I've completed that rewrite and expansion. Comments welcome. Note that among many other sources I have cited myself (currently footnotes 23 and 26) for two book reviews. Andrew Dalby 20:57, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
