Hello, I'm Adakiko. I noticed that you made an edit to a biography of a living person, Kenneth Williams, 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. Adakiko (talk) 09:18, 18 August 2022 (UTC)


 * First of all Kenneth Williams is not living. He died in 1988.   Secondly, his childhood was spent over his father's barber shop in Bloomsbury, London.  Osnaburgh Street, his last residence (now demolished) where he and his mother lived in separate flats is not in Bloomsbury, it is in Marylebone.  There is a blue plaque also in Marylebone - Farley Court, Allsop Place Marylebone where Williams lived 1963-1970 which was unveiled by Barbara Windsor many years ago and is still there.  https://www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/blue-plaques/kenneth-williams/  Mike1558 (talk) 09:40, 18 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Not living, my apologies. Why the removal of the Telegraph citation? And that Osnaburgh was his last home? One of the blue plaques is mentioned in Kenneth Williams. Is there a need to mention it twice? Adakiko (talk) 10:19, 18 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Sorry I missed the blue plaque and I am probably not that good at editing. The main thing for me is Osnaburgh Street in Marylebone (now demolished) where he lived in two separate flats with his mother and where he died.  I did not realise I took the Telegraph citation out.  Could you just correct the Marylebone bit and maybe add about the mother? Mike1558 (talk) 11:16, 18 August 2022 (UTC)


 * The second blue plaque is mentioned in the Recognition section. (I should have said "are mentioned")
 * Are you sure? google maps puts Osnaburgh Street east of Marylebone. Streets and boundaries may have changed. Google maps have been in error. I've heard of at least one war over borders occurred. Bloomsbury (google) doesn't show up on google maps as does Marylebone. Bloomsbury is east of Marylebone and could possibly encompass Osnaburgh Street.
 * BTW: I've seen a few Carry On films. Sent links to friends of the kilt scene from Carry On Up the Khyber. Lost a few friends that way. ;o) Cheers Adakiko (talk) 12:19, 18 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Sorry just seen your reply. I thought we had finished speaking.  Didn't mean to be rude.  Osnaburgh Street is definitely not in Bloomsbury.  The Bloomsbury area is inside Grays Inn Road and Tottenham Court Raod (east to West); New Oxford Street and Euston Road (south to north).  I would say Osnaburgh Street is in the Regents Park area.  Regents Park is considered an area as well as being a park, but that part of London doesn't have definitive area names but just what people generally call them.  Bloomsbury is a very well known area of London and is WC1, whereas Osnaburgh Street is NW1.  Trust me I am right about this. Sorry about the other confusions though, the late reply and thanks for taking the trouble to reply.  Mike Mike1558 (talk) 10:27, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
