"Urban legend" section

This recently-added section covers a topic that was already included elsewhere in the article. Also, titling the new section "urban legend" suggests that the story might not be true, when it is actually quite well documented. The new text is good and probably ought to be merged with the earlier material, but it doesn't belong in a separate section. I don't have time to fix it right now; if I remember to come back, I will, but I'm flagging it in case I don't. Isomorphic (talk) 20:45, 22 May 2015 (UTC)

I changed the section title to "Early Anecdote", but the material is still duplicated under "Work" Brianbleakley (talk) 15:41, 6 June 2015 (UTC)

Personal life section contains info about education

It's already covered in the Education section, so no need to reiterate it. Especially given that it doesn't provide context for anything. EditorPerson53 (talk) 04:47, 6 December 2021 (UTC)

Can we get a better photo?

The current photo is blurry and low quality. It would be nice to get a portrait, if possible. 2601:547:501:8F90:D9D:D2D3:48A0:85FB (talk) 21:14, 5 November 2022 (UTC)

National pedigree vs linguistic pedigree

QUOTE: George Bernard Shaw, the Irish writer. END OF QUOTE.

George Bernard Shaw was known as a British writer in my younger days. Did any of the creepy spontaneous geniuses who abound in Misplaced Pages pages find that information was wrong? Inserting misinforamtion onine seems to be a pastime for creeps. 117.223.88.242 (talk) 10:01, 25 November 2023 (UTC)
