Bit odd that the section on his pro career mostly covers a few losses. I'm not qualified to do it but someone with the knowledge could maybe add in a line or two about his occasional victories.

Early years[edit]

Some confusion here, Boxingrec has Wilde moving to Ponygwaith (near Tylorstown) at the age of 3/4 and that he started working down the mine at 12. Or did he leave Merthyr at 3 and then moved again to Tylorstown when 12. Any ideas?FruitMonkey (talk) 18:13, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nationality[edit]

How can he have Welsh nationality? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.69.216.130 (talk) 08:44, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

As Wales is a nation, he can have Welsh nationality. As valid as being English or Scottish. FruitMonkey (talk) 08:54, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
