"Royal" prefix[edit]

I think the "Royal" prefix came about in 1966 but haven't yet found a great source for it. The Liverpool Echo or similar will have noted it, if anyone has access to the British Newspaper Archives etc - Sitush (talk) 21:43, 8 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Conflict of interest?[edit]

Royden1 (talk · contribs) is quite probably the same person who wrote the history of the school mentioned in the text & published in 1991. Not a major issue but we should perhaps be aware of WP:COI in the context of publishing their own research & just maybe copying from the book. - Sitush (talk) 18:03, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A bit of a question mark, too, regarding that book's publisher. The company was dissolved in 2015 but looks likely to have been what WP would consider to be a vanity press. Again, probably not worth worrying about but at least the issue is now noted. - Sitush (talk) 18:13, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
