[edit]

First sentence "Louise Nicholson (Born 1st May 1954) was a British journalist, historian and lecturer ..." should be "Louise Nicholson (born 1 May 1954) is a British journalist, historian and lecturer, a specialist in ..."

There needs to be a lot of work on the referencing. The Alchetron site doesn't count as a reliable source.

https://www.corfuliteraryfestival.com/speakers has some factual information about Nicholson. But it is not a strong reference - probably Nicholson herself supplied the text.

https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=OfaIEAAAQBAJ&pg=PT13 has some information also. The 2010 award from the National Association of Professional Women (of America) is something that might be verifiable. The Wikipedia article

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Association_of_Professional_Women

is confusing, however. The first link above says 2011 and award from the IAW.

https://www.outlookindia.com/magazine/story/for-the-deprived-of-the-earth-this-trust-offers-a-patch-of-life/211356 gives something about her activities in India.

While there is plenty to say about Louise Nicholson, clearly, there are big issues with verifiability from independent sources, as Wikipedia requires.

I have tracked down an elder brother George Howard Joseph Nicholson, born 1936, involved with the British Olympic Association. But otherwise there is little I can see of personal information. Charles Matthews (talk) 10:42, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Charles Matthews:Can i have some extra feedback on what to do before i submit this please i want this to achieve high marks. Also can i have help to fix the reference, i duplicated the same reference 7 times. I know i still have to do some reference through the text but i need overall feedback thank you.

@RBorokini14: Actually, what you are doing there with references to Nicholas Wapshott is contrary to a Wikipedia guideline: WP:CIRCULAR. You should remove most of the text, since the link to the Wapshott article is available. You should use the Who's Who reference for facts about Wapshott.
To reuse that reference, make it <ref name="WW">{{Cite web |title=Wapshott, Nicholas Henry, (born 13 Jan. 1952), author and journalist; Senior Advisor, Europa Partners, since 2019 |url=https://www.ukwhoswho.com/display/10.1093/ww/9780199540884.001.0001/ww-9780199540884-e-38817 |access-date=2023-04-25 |website=WHO'S WHO & WHO WAS WHO |language=en }}</ref> Then in other places you only need <ref name="WW"/> to reuse the reference.
You have work to do in placing the references into the text, and taking [edit] out of the headings. Charles Matthews (talk) 08:49, 26 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
