Talk:Mick Aston

message: If you are correct - How can I tell! See policy in link above. This being a public domain encyclopedia anyone can make these claims. How do we "know" this to be the case. I have only seen reference in web based locations to a son. Please state you claim, i.e. give sources etc. or we have to assume this is "spam". :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page) 15:55, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: If you are who you say - this would be an interesting philosphical question - when am I who I say I am? But hopefully you can see my reluctance to let "anyone" claim to be some one of note or connect to such a person. :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page) 16:13, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Talking of which, are you by any chance related to Carenza Lewis? I know her hubby posted for a while on a well-known and related forum a couple of years ago. You could, perchance be the same Mr Lewis? Bruce, aka Agendum | Talk 12:45, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

text: not that I know of, but we haven't completed our family tree so who knows. Actually there are quite a few Lewis's about to so isn't too likely. Also I'm not even sure if "Lewis" is her given name or marital one. I assume by the way you talk probably her marital one. It might be nice to know. :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page) 14:32, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

text: Verifable refernce to a book should be suffient. Although offical style web source would be quicker. :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page) 16:10, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

message: Is it correct that Mick is an emeritus professor?   The University of Bristol webpage says only that he is retired, implying specifically that he is not emeritus.

message: I propose all useful material from Mick's Archaeology be moved to this article. The article on the book simply doesn't have enough material to justify a separate article. It has a couple sentences and a chapter listing, the first of which would be merged, and the second of which doesn't really need to be in the encyclopedia.

replies: text: He was active recently: 13 June report - visits N Cadbury . Hope this is not a silly joke! Vernon White . . . Talk  19:16, 24 June 2013 (UTC)

text: I hope I don't need to remind people that we have been hoaxed before; no source, no go. Guy (Help!) 20:40, 24 June 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: The only sources (as of now) I can see is via the official Time Team's Facebook and Twitter accounts, which I suspect won't be allowed within a million miles of WP:RS, but is not being reported within any secondary mainstream sources either. This could be a difficult condonrum if said secondary sources do not report his passing but official sources says he has passed away. --tgheretford (talk) 20:59, 24 June 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Why wouldn't an official Facebook stream be a RS? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 21:16, 24 June 2013 (UTC)
replies: text:  Because "official" pages/steams come in varying degrees of officialness and reliability and can be hacked (no suggestion of that here though). They're obviously also primary sources. Thryduulf (talk) 21:30, 24 June 2013 (UTC)
replies: text:  The only thing I can find is a essay regarding specific websites here Wikipedia:External links/Perennial websites. Although I suspect WP:BLP and WP:RS will trump both of those and people are being cautious. From what I have read on Twitter, a BBC journalist is researching his death, so an reliable secondary source should be available via the BBC News website soon. --tgheretford (talk) 21:32, 24 June 2013 (UTC)

text: And now The official TimeTeam Twitter account. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 21:28, 24 June 2013 
Sadly true. It's been confirmed by Frances Pryor on his Twitter feed who had it confirmed to him by Phil Harding himself.
