SirSwindon continues to improve various Wikipedia biographies including: Edward John Trelawny, Pierre Laval, Edward Elleker Williams, Hans Eysenck, George Gordon Byron, Percy Bysshe Shelley, Claire Clairmont, Daniel Roberts (British Navy Captain), Henry Roberts (British Navy Captain), René de Chambrun, Bernard Benson, Milton Prell, and Charles Armitage Brown.

Above all else --- SirSwindon has a disdain for items in biographies containing 'hearsay' material, lacking valid citations.

Scholarship demands thorough research; examining many conflicting sources then weighing the evidence and explaining how and why it was weighed as it was; also objectivity in assessing the validity of the material and attempting to present an unbiased credible summary with detailed citations.
