thread_title: Notability

message: Untrue, and in fact Simon has never made it; it was 'invented' by an imaginative reporter.  Simon Tolkien never was an "estate trustee" or member of the Tolkien Company board; he was bitter over this, but he could never have been removed, in retaliation or otherwise.  
Solicitr (talk) 21:00, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Even the source you cite above claims Simon Tolkien was a trustee: "These relate to the family trust, of which Simon is a trustee." You secomd claim is uncited. I'm restoring the line, as your argument is unconvincing. MikeWazowski (talk) 04:26, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Simon remains a trustee of the Tolkien Discretionary Settlement- a position from which he has never been removed.  His complaint, however, was that he was never offered a seat on the board of the Tolkien Company, the umbrella organization which controls the family's literary properties.  Rewriting.

replies: text: Well, seeing as how the text I'm restoring is based on a valid source, while your is based on personal opinion nd a questionable link that doesn't exist, I'll say that I'm on firmer ground here. Your personal opinions are not a reliable source, and unless you can come up with valid sources that actually exist (since this link you posted does not), I will continue to remove any unsupported information.

message: Re this edit:  What we have here is an anonymous editor who is asserting that his daughter, his agent and his birth certificate all say he was born on 16 October 1941, although all reference books have consistently given us the date 19 October 1941.  We cannot diverge from what reliable sources say, merely on the say-so of an editor, however well-intentioned they may be.   We need proper citations for any, preferably all, of the above 3 claims.  I note IMDb has changed their date to 16 October, but we can't use IMDb since they're not considered a reliable source.  --  ♬ Jack of Oz ♬ [your turn] 00:23, 28 July 2012 (UTC)

You've probably read  in the article and deduced that it is Cumnor House School in Croydon in South London, as our article indeed used to say from January 2012.  But Williams contributed as a former pupil to  which is about the other Cumnor House School in Haywards Heath.
