Talk:R. S. Thomas

Untitled

The internet gives three seperate dates for Thomas' Nobel prize nomination. Anyone know for sure? maybe he was nominated more than once. Also should the little category|writer/poets tags be added to articles? cant find any info on this. Is it done automatically? someone who knows could add a link here to where the instructions on that are, can't seem to find them. cheers.Monk Bretton 16:37, 31 May 2004 (UTC)

Wrong link in references

The link to Byron G. Rogers as author of "The Man who Went into the West" is incorrect. That is a different Byron Rogers. The actual author does not appear to have a wikipedia page (though I thought he did at some point in the past). I'm not sure how to edit the reference so I'll leave it to someone else rather than mess it up. Also this page's visual edit option is not working for me at the moment so I hope I haven't messed this up either. Hundovir (talk) 20:48, 23 December 2020 (UTC)

On further perusal there is a page for the correct author: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byron_Rogers_(author). But I don't know how to edit the reference list. to be clear, this is reference number 4. The link to the author might also be useful in reference 5. Hundovir (talk) 09:13, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

 Done. Yes, it's Byron Rogers (author). Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 10:03, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

Exact place of birth

This blog site says he was born at 5, Newfoundland Road, Gabalfa, in Cardiff. But I am unable to find any better source to verify. Martinevans123 (talk) 20:57, 15 April 2021 (UTC)

Supported by ODNB here, so have added. Martinevans123 (talk) 20:17, 23 September 2024 (UTC)

Category

Remarkably, he's not in the Wiki 'Welsh poets' category. I don't know how to do this. Can someone with the competence fix it? Snugglepuss (talk) 19:51, 23 September 2024 (UTC)

He's already in Category:20th-century Welsh poets, so no need? Martinevans123 (talk) 20:02, 23 September 2024 (UTC)
