Oxford and Cambridge colleges

edit

Can anyone identify the ones she attended? Her FB page says St Anne's College, Oxford, but FB isn't exactly WP:RS. Narky Blert (talk) 21:04, 7 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

I managed to find something a bit better than FB, but it's still not ideal. And nothing for Cambridge. JH (talk page) 21:56, 7 January 2017 (UTC)Reply
Her obituary in English Bridge provides both colleges, plus other useful information that I've added. JH (talk page) 20:34, 1 February 2017 (UTC)Reply

Standard English

edit

I went rather beyond what the reference says in putting that it was Acol-based and aimed at beginners, so another reference would be good. JH (talk page) 21:19, 8 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

I endorse all Jhall1's comments. There must be references in off-line copies of EBU Magazine at least. Narky Blert (talk) 23:59, 8 January 2017 (UTC)Reply
I've found and added a reference. The title is "Standard English Acol" and the subtitle includes "Foundation Level". Also the title page carries the "Bridge for All" logo. So I think both points are covered. I hope next to add a Bibliography section covering all her books, using info from Amazon. JH (talk page) 10:51, 9 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

Computer scientist

edit

I would like to add more about her time as a university lecture on computer science. Unfortunately I couldn't find anything about her on either the University of Brighton or the British Computer Society website, nor on the site for St. Anne's College where she was an undergraduate.

Nationality

edit

Given recent activity at this site, it seems appropriate to pose a broader question about the nationality of bridge players here. In the navigation template for contract bridge articles, there is a link for the category 'English contract bridge players' and one for 'British contract bridge players'. Can someone explain the logic in how members of theses categories are differentiated? Are all English players not British players? Why two categories? Newwhist (talk) 02:08, 15 July 2018 (UTC)Reply

The subsequent discussion has been relocated to the talk page of 'Category:British contract bridge players'.
