Abortive move[edit]

sorry folks, i haven't edited anything correctly in the last 45 minutes. I thot i'd discovered that Tom Hardy's first wife was an industry professional, and that therefore she needed to be disambiguated from the Victorian-era politician. Oops! Dunno what i misread, but i can't find it now, and am muddying the history by re~~quest~~moving useless stuff. (I'm not sure there's any reason but an excess of caution to not do the deletes myself, but i'm tagging the for speedy deln instead.)

In case you haven't noticed, i'm obsessive-compulsive, at least on what counts here, i.e. the (written) verbal level. No doubt it's at least annoying for some WP colleagues, but the process here is IMO effective in protecting the articles, at least on the long run.
Here's what the above two talk contributions (saved at 14:11 and, actually, a few seconds into 14:18) were intended to communicate: I was overtired. I found that the existing bios on the two Victorian-era Sarah Wards were presented as calling for a primary topic (the politician), presumably (there being no relevant edit-summary, let alone a discussion) on the (false) assumption that the policy on titling of bios, where ambiguity exists is, so to speak,

"First up, [(literally, out of bed) gets to the closet first, and has the opportunity to selfishly be] best dressed" [(figuratively, treated as primary topic)].

So i let the titling convince me that the off-stage theatrical professional, SW, was a contemporary and colleague of Tom Hardy, and that they met thru their work in the same industry. Then i

lost track of the fact that that assumption was based on an existing WP article,

confused Sarah's married and maiden names (which each have a non-plosive first phoneme and "ard" as the rhyme of the first -- or only -- syll), and

went searching for the off-WP Web evidence that i assumed i must have seen.

Well! (I guess i was more subtly confused than it felt like!) And i see no evidence of our contemporary, Sarah (nee Hardy) Ward meeting our notability criteria.

OK, i was confused, but not as inexplicably as it for a while seemed. I'm not sure whether deleting or speedy-ing is really called for after all, but i'll sleep before trying to tease that out.... to everyone's benefit, and perhaps also our relief.
