John Rhys-Davies
Hi, regarding birthplace of John Rhys-Davies: two references in the article (BBC Wales and the South Wales Guardian) both give his birth place as Ammanford. If you have a reliable source stating Salisbury, please provide it: but it's best discussed at Talk:John Rhys-Davies, where you will see that there has already been some discussion on the matter. See also WP:BLP and WP:REFBEGIN. -- Red rose64 (talk) 20:35, 4 November 2011 (UTC)


 * I am a cousin of John Rhys-Davies' late wife and met him in my student days. He told me himself that he was born in Salisbury, and on the FreeBMD web site you will find his birth registration there in the 2nd quarter of 1944: Henry J. Davies, mother's maiden surname Jones.  It was later that he adopted the surname Rhys-Davies, Rhys being his father's forename.  He was baptized in the Ammanford chapel, but that does not mean he was born there!

- I prefer to keep discussion in one place, but since you replied on my talk page, I've replied to you there. -- Red rose64 (talk) 09:37, 22 November 2011 (UTC)

Date formats
Thank you for the copyedits you have made recently on numerous articles; your grammar and punctuation edits are impeccable. However, I want to caution you about date format changes you are making, which your edit summaries say are "appropriate for a European". Per MOS:DATERETAIN, Wikipedia policy is to retain an article's existing date format unless strong national ties are an issue. Please see MOS:DATETIES for a definition of "strong national ties": "Articles on topics with strong ties to a particular English-speaking country should generally use the date format most commonly used in that nation". If strong national ties to non-English-speaking countries mattered, the policy quoted above would read: "Articles on topics with strong ties to a particular country should generally use the date format most commonly used in that nation". But that's not the policy; the adjective "English-speaking" is there for a purpose. Ewulp (talk) 01:47, 4 December 2022 (UTC)
