Semi-protected edit request on 1 November 2022
In the "Death" section, the word "quote" (a verb) should be changed to "quotation" (a noun), as follows:

The inscription on his gravestone, chosen by his mother Susan, is based on a quotation from his poetry: 67.83.127.49 (talk) 02:50, 1 November 2022 (UTC)

Education
"In 1911 he passed the matriculation exam for the University of London, but not with the first-class honours needed for a scholarship, which in his family's circumstances was the only way he could have afforded to attend".

A matriculation exam is a university entrance exam, so how would it be possible to insist on achieving "first-class honours" in it when the latter only applies to first degrees achieved after three or four years of studies at a university? Helmardine (talk) 12:47, 25 February 2023 (UTC)

Caption inaccuracy in article 'Shrewsbury'
The caption under Owens' portrait in the 'Shrewsbury' article has a significant error in stating that he was a 'World War 2 poet'. Will some wikipedian please correct this caption please. Wilfred Owen was a 'World War ONE poet' Spyglasses (talk) 05:38, 31 March 2023 (UTC)


 * ✅ I don't know when or by whom, but this has been fixed. Thank you for the alert. DBaK (talk) 09:08, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

Section structure
Is it really logical that "Relationship with Sassoon" is currently a subsection of "Sexuality"? I worry that his relationship with Sassoon, whilst it seemingly may have had a sexual element, was rather more than just a subset or condition or consequence of Owen's gayness. Might it not perhaps be on the same level, just as the next subhead? It feels to me almost like an editorialization, or perhaps an oversimplification, for us to have decided to slot the one topic in under the other. But what do you think?
