Shelley Holroyd
Please see Manual of Style/Biography for post nominals, also if no middle name then a citation is needed. Thanks Racingmanager (talk) 18:09, 10 August 2020 (UTC) I am quite happy to remove the middle name if you can explain why both sources/references listed are incorrect. Racingmanager (talk) 18:17, 12 August 2020 (UTC)

Shelley has no middle name. The reason I know this is because she is my cousin. Short of supplying her birth certificate this is the only way I can confirm it.

As for the OLY, all Olympians are entitled to have the post nominal OLY after their name as per the link below. Other athletes use OLY too on wiki.

If you want to add OLY then do so but using the style required by wikipedia for post nominals, link sent to you earlier tells you how to do it. Racingmanager (talk) 11:12, 13 August 2020 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Liu1126. I noticed that you made an edit to a biography of a living person, Bob Birrell, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. Wikipedia has a strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Liu1126 (talk) 00:02, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
