message: What evidence is there for calling Wyke a "long-established English country gentleman"? From his manner and affluent surroundings he may appear one, but the manner could well be adopted and the surroundings acquired. Shaffer may even have had a particular English crime writer in mind, Dennis Wheatley who bought Milton Court.  Hors-la-loi 17:53, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

message: The main character in Andrew Wyke's novels—Sinjin Lord Merridew—is actually St. John Lord Merridew. "Sinjin" is a UK pronounciation of St. John. This is difficult information to come by, so it is being noted here. Tisn't (talk) 23:17, 25 August 2014 (UTC)

message: Ring Cinema deleted my text noting the similarities between this film and Deathtrap (film). I had provided multiple sources, including reviews by Roger Ebert and Janet Maslin and several published books, which explicitly note the similarity between these two Michael Caine films. Ring Cinema first deleted my sources, then deleted the sentence they were supporting. Ring Cinema performed both these deletions AFTER I opened a discussion on this issue on the Deathtrap article's Talk page. Coming to this page and performing the exact same deletion when he fully knew I had opened a dialogue with him to try to resolve this conflict dispute verges on edit warring. I have  opened a Dispute Resolution Noticeboard discussion on this issue as it pertains to Deathtrap, and the resolution of that discussion will be binding to this article as well.

replies: text: Actually, the citations don't agree on the nature of the similarity. It's not a good practice to single out critics in the lead section either. This proposal has not received any support in the discussion at Deathtrap, so I think until there is a consensus to include it in the lead it is correct to leave it out. I don't see where you are opening a dialogue, actually. You are simply ignoring everyone's objections. I believe I offered the idea of including the material elsewhere in the article instead of cutting it altogether, so perhaps you could take my suggestion. --Ring Cinema (talk) 04:31, 6 August 2015 (UTC)
