OAE and Huntford

[edit]

Don't know if anyone is interested but I was equally surprised by the article. Close to an article on Hitler not mentioning Mein Kampf. I'll see if I get time but this page could really do with a rewrite. I'll punt a few mails to people who might be able to help. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:44B8:F10:E600:8D15:1812:891C:938 (talk) 07:27, 28 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Birth name

[edit]

The article, prior to my edit of 26 June, stated that Huntford was 'born R. Horwitch'; this was unsourced. I expanded this to read 'Roland Horwitch' and provided this source: https://www.thegazette.co.uk/London/issue/40602/supplement/5663/data.pdf which supported this change in name. I include this information- now apparently unilaterally decided to be unworthy of inclusion by the same editor who quite impertinently reverted my edit as 'botched unnecessary' (sic)- should anyone have noted its absence from the article proper. Given the manner in which the aforementioned edit was received, let it be noted that I a) was not the editor who first added mention of his name having been 'R. Horwitch' and b) provided a source for a statement in the article that required one. Ashiyura (talk) 00:40, 2 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
