[edit]

I am the original author of the page; however, I am uncertain as to how I should cite my sources. I know Peter Willcox personally, and have acquired the desired data from him by word of mouth. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Venter (talkcontribs)

Actually, you probably shouldn't have mentioned. Primary sources aren't very favored on Wikipedia, and the fact that you say you know him personally discloses a potential Conflict of Interest. It is much better to find articles or books elsewhere that publish the information as secondary sources - if a secondary source is willing to publish it, then it will most likely meet the WP notability guideline. Thanks for editing though, please keep at it! Psu256 (talk) 01:17, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Early years

[edit]

This section is unsourced, and there seems to be a disagreement over his adopted mother's name. The article says she died in 1973, but could this 1974 obituary be for her?-gadfium 08:02, 2 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
