[edit]@Flat Out You added a tag suggesting this was a draft where you suspect that a LLM has been used and there may be copyright or hallucination issues. What specifically led you to that suspicion and how can it be resolved? The main author has declared a COI (on their user page), which might explain why some statements are not fully backed up by references: i.e. they are writing what they know to be true, rather than what is fully verified by the references. However, User:David notMD and I, both uninvolved editors, have been trying to provide guidance and neither of us has noted this type of problem. See User talk:Louisetarp#References, references, references for some details. Mike Turnbull (talk) 11:53, 27 March 2025 (UTC)
- WP:EARWIG today says "violation unlikely" as far as copyright is concerned. Mike Turnbull (talk) 18:20, 27 March 2025 (UTC)
- @Mike Thanks for your question, I have responded on your talk page but after reading the discussion on the drafting editor's talk page I have removed the tag.Flat Out (talk) 22:13, 27 March 2025 (UTC)
Google Drive
[edit]@Louisetarp - that Google Drive link you just added as a reference, probably not great. You might find this useful: MediaKyle (talk) 14:58, 29 April 2025 (UTC)
- This article also mentions the documentary. MediaKyle (talk) 15:04, 29 April 2025 (UTC)
- thank you, indeed very helpful! I will remove it Louisetarp (talk) 15:37, 29 April 2025 (UTC)
Title
[edit]Just wanted to note that I'd say this Derek Pratt would be the primary topic over the cricketer Derek Pratt. We can probably lose the disambiguator on this article and add (cricketer) to the other. MediaKyle (talk) 16:40, 30 April 2025 (UTC)
- Feel free to RM the two articles, let's see what the other editors will say. AstrooKai (Talk) 17:32, 30 April 2025 (UTC)

Too many pictures
[edit]@MediaKyle: You reverted my recent edit with a summary of "that formatting is abysmal, please try again", which is probably a fair point; but it was not nearly as abysmal as what was there already, which ignored MOS:IMAGESIZE and MOS:IMAGELOC for the size and location of images; and disregarded MOS:SANDWICH causing sandwiching of narrow text between images. There are too many images for the length of the article; either some need to be placed in galleries or centred multiple image sets; or be removed from in the article. I'll leave the article for a while for you, or other interested editors, to solve this problem which I seem not to have been able to do satisfactorily; but eventually one or the other solutions will need to be implemented. Regards, Bazza 7 (talk) 20:35, 19 November 2025 (UTC)
- I agree with you - the current image setup is far from ideal and definitely not MOS compliant, but I don't think the adjustment was an improvement. I'll see what I can do with it. Thanks, MediaKyle (talk) 20:43, 19 November 2025 (UTC)
