Possible COI edits and lack of sources edit

Latest comment: 1 year ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Recent edits by User:Colinfalconer have removed what appears to be highly relevant content regarding pseudonym usage and books purportedly by the same author but published under other names. Because that content was unsourced, I am not restoring it. However, the content that replaced it is also unsourced; while none of it seems controversial, we need to do better in a WP:BLP article.

The template message related to this on the page dates from 2011. If the issue is resolved as above, could the template message be removed? 14.201.52.253 (talk) 04:21, 27 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

What is his real name? edit

Latest comment: 9 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

This says his real name is Mark D'Arbanville, under which he wrote The Naked Husband.

This seems to support that.

This says his real name is Colin Bowles, and that Colin Falconer and Mark D'Arbanville are pseudonyms.

Here he's Colin Bowles, aka Colin Richard Bowles, who also writes under Colin Falconer ; Ric West ; Mark D'Arbanville .

This review, of which I have a hard copy, says his real name is Colin Richard, and that D'Arbanville, Bowles and Falconer are all pseudonyms.

Can anyone assist in sorting out this confusion? -- Jack of Oz ^{[pleasantries]} 22:20, 1 December 2014 (UTC)Reply
