Sorry, one fringe book putting forward a contested theory does not make it not Ludwig Wittgenstein. We would require a reliable source for that. -- Rodhull andemu  16:03, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your email. I have looked into this now, and am of opinion that the evidence that the boy indicated is LW is strong but not conclusive. Therefore, despite the labelling, we should not express certainty and I've therefore (mostly) restored your caption. Sorry for my error but I'm usually in a hurry around here. -- Rodhull andemu  12:54, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Toddst1. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person   on Orlando Figes, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source, so I removed it. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. 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! Toddst1 (talk) 19:35, 15 July 2020 (UTC)
