Revising again

I shall be revising this article again in the coming weeks. I see that too many people have been tinkering with what I had originally written. As usual, everything I add or subtract will be meticulously sourced and WP:DUE. Fowler&fowler«Talk» 13:14, 26 March 2021 (UTC)

Trinidad(ian) vs Trinidad and Tobago

@FreeEncyclopediaMusic: Please use the talk page instead of repeatedly editing the article. Onus is on the person making the change.

It's pretty simple though: the country's name is Trinidad and Tobago. Yes, something from Trinidad is "Trinidadian" the same way someone from New York is a New Yorker. But we use subnational entities to describe people, especially when those subnational entities have no legal standing. (This isn't like English vs British - England is a constituent country of the United Kingdom. There is no political entity called Trinidad. Guettarda (talk) 14:57, 21 January 2022 (UTC)

General Incompleteness of the biography from 1970 onwards.

Biography is incomplete from 1970 onwards. There is large gaps in chronology. Also, major works and the creative ideation behind them are missing. Personal life should have been a separate paragraph with two distinct sections - his partners and the background of his family. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.245.86.244 (talk) 04:20, 12 February 2022 (UTC)

Yes, at least I am aware of it. Much personal life appears in his biography, for example, his family background; his relationship with the woman who was to became his first wife, Patty Hale; Shiva Naipaul; his father; and so forth. Have it in my mind to complete the biography. Thanks. Fowler&fowler«Talk» 10:28, 12 February 2022 (UTC)
