People with Wikipedia pages that I have known
I saw a section entitled "People with Wikipedia articles that I've met" on another user's page, and I thought, that's interesting, I wonder how many I have. I haven't included people who are still alive, but only people who can't come back and say they have no idea who I am. I also don't include people that I met very casually in circumstances where they wouldn't remember me afterwards, such as the Nobel Prizewinner whose car I helped to push when it broke down in Oxford, or another Nobel Prizewinner that I exchanged a few words with when we found ourselves next to one another at the urinals at a meeting at Harvard.

CHECKED 1 June 2024 The composer Christopher Willis is my nephew. However, it doesn't say so either in his Wikipedia article or in mine, because I don't know of a source that would be acceptable as verification.
