Thank you for this article. I note that you are a new editor, so I'll offer some helpful suggestions:

  • You'll need more citations to verify some of the information presented. (I've marked which facts need citations.)
  • As you move forward, you'll need to learn how to properly include inline citations. (I've corrected your article for now, but as you provide more citations, please do so properly. See Referencing for Beginners for pointers.)
  • References without links are difficult to verify. As your references all appear to be relatively recent newspaper articles, it should be relatively easy to provide a URL for the article.
  • External links without actual links are just pointless, so, again, please provide the URLs to go along with these links.

Good luck!

David Hayden (author) edit

David Hayden (born in Dublin) is an author and publisher based in Norwich, England. He has lived and worked in the US and Australia.

His writing has appeared in gorse, the Yellow Nib, the Moth, Stinging Fly, Spolia and the Warwick Review, and his poetry in PN Review. He was shortlisted for the 25th RTÉ Francis MacManus Short Story prize.

His debut collection, Darker With the Lights On (2017) was published in the U.K. by Little Island Press and by Transit Books in the United States. It was shortlisted for the 2017 Republic of Consciousness Prize.

The twenty short stories making up this debut collection have been widely praised. Eimear McBride said: 'It's an open secret that David Hayden is one of the most interesting short story writers around. Why it's taken this long for his first collection to be published is beyond me but I, along with anyone with even the vaguest interest in looking at modernism anew, will be queuing up for a copy.' Kevin Barry described the collection as 'quietly innovative, subtle of tone, full of feeling - this is a superb debut', and Sinéad Gleeson said his stories were 'equalled in invention by their lyrical depth and stunning concision. Sentences sing, startle and ask to be reread immediately. An extraordinary debut that will find readers keen to read more from this gifted writer.' <ref><ref>

Wrong place edit

You put content about David on your Talk page. The proper path is to develop a draft in your Sandbox, or use WP:YFA to create a draft. I recommend you cut/paste the content. David notMD (talk) 23:28, 18 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

Apologies - my first engagement with Wikipedia for some years and I seem to have forgotten everything I once knew. Will fix. Collardoscope (talk) 06:38, 19 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

Your thread has been archived edit

 

Hi Collardoscope! The thread you created at the Wikipedia:Teahouse, Not a question, has been archived because there was no discussion for a few days.

You can still read the archived discussion. If you have follow-up questions, please create a new thread.


See also the help page about the archival process. The archival was done by Lowercase sigmabot III, and this notification was delivered by Muninnbot, both automated accounts.

I noticed you didn't get a response to your other post. I'm not sure where the rule is, but we can only have one article about an individual. Your concern is valid, so you should follow the directions on WP:MOVE and start a discussion about what to call the one article. Consensus determines what the result will be.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 22:23, 20 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
