Talk:Kit Williams

Does this really merit being said:

Today, solving these kinds of puzzles are known as armchair treasure hunts. This name was given to it by Dan James. He founded The Armchair Treasure Hunt Club.

It's hardly a coinage, just putting the word 'armchair' next to 'treasure hunts'. Sounds like a small bit of wikipedia advertising by the Armchair Treasure Hunt Club, whoever they are.


 * I agree.
 * This is an article about Kit Williams.
 * Not about the origin of the term armchair treasure hunt.

The con
More background on the story is given in an unpublished letter by Frank Branston, then editor of the local paper Bedfordshire on Sunday, at the link. Canon 13:35, 11 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Wouldn't such be better in the Masquerade (book) article? The emphasis here is about the artist, not the book. Thefool 19:22, 11 March 2006 (UTC)


 * I agree, so I've moved most of the Masquerade infomation to the Masquerade page. Canon 21:28, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

Italian Prize?
A modified version of the book also appeared in Italian, with a treasure buried in Italy.

The book was translated in numerous languages, but an additional prize? In Italy? This needs a source. Bamber Gascoigne, the designated witness to Masquerade, tells nothing of another prize buried in Italy in his book The Quest for the Golden Hare.

 * I agree. I've never seen any reference to this book in any article.  I'll write to the owner of bunnyears.net to see if he has heard of anything. Canon 21:07, 8 May 2006 (UTC)


 * My memory was flawed. The Italian version is described in Chapter 10 of Gascoigne's book.  Nonetheless, this sentence probably belongs on the Masquerade page, which is where I will now move it. Canon 14:18, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

Gulp. Color me embarrassed.

A mind is a terrible thing to lose.

Watching this article
Whoever watches this article, or has made the most recent contributions, needs to be on their toes. Back in 2008 someone added a sentence which, though probably true, was placed with no regard for the article whatsoever, and required immediate removal or re-placement.

A fact may be a fact, but if it divides two sentnece about an entirely different subject, then it creates nonsense. This is what I removed: "His brother Dominic Williams is a renowned translator of oriental text, resident in Brighton, UK."

Look at the history to see why it should not have been permitted to stay where it was for two years.

Primarily promotional
The article contains almost no information about background, education, family, personal life, etc: all the information that would normally form a substantial part of a biographical article. All that we have amounts to a promotional, cv- type list. 86.191.214.55 (talk) 10:13, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
