A fact from Richard Garnons Williams appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 25 April 2009 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that Richard Summers, Edward Peake, Godfrey Darbishire and Richard Williams were all single cap Wales rugby union players after the team (pictured) was humiliated by England in its first international match?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2009/April.

Wikipedia

Association Football?[edit]

The black and ambers website states that Richard Garnons Williams also played international football for Wales. Using the www.wfda.co.uk site, I have scanned through all international Welsh games from the 1870s and 1880s and have not found RDG Williams among the players. There may be confusion with Richard Parry Williams, who played for Carnarvon Athletic and faced Scotland in 1886. FruitMonkey (talk) 07:17, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

E. H. D. Sewell says that when RDGW was asked to 'fill a gap in the Welsh XI, that he should play as goalkeeper, which he did.'

Comments[edit]

If the comment is numbered, it must be addressed for the article to pass, if it is bulleted, it's an optional suggestion or comment that you don't need to act on right now.
When I quote things, you can use ctrl+f to search the page for the specific line I quoted.

"Penry was Fleet Surgeon aboard HMS Hampshire and died when his vessel was wrecked in 1916" Who is Penry?
Mark Penry. Fixed. FunkyCanute (talk) 12:30, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
"She was herself serving in France at the time." Serving as what, considering I don't think women were allowed in service during the first world war? I'd assume a nurse but I shouldn't have to assume.
Unfortunately, the source merely states that she was serving in France. FunkyCanute (talk) 12:30, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
"He seems to have soon been posted back to 12th Royal Fusiliers" What does "seems" mean here?
Fixed. FunkyCanute (talk) 12:30, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The article says he died 25 September, but that he issued orders on 27 September? Wasn't he dead on the 27th?
Clarified. FunkyCanute (talk) 12:30, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The references need their date formats to be consistent.
Done. FunkyCanute (talk) 12:30, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the review. All ok now? FunkyCanute (talk) 12:30, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Results[edit]

On Hold for 7 days. A well written article with just a few minor issues to fix. I look forward to the revisions, and feel free to reply with any comments or questions. Wugapodes (talk) 18:23, 14 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

My apologies, same as with Pierre Guillemin, I haven't made any progress: I've only just seen this, as there wasn't a message left on my talk page. If you wouldn't mind leaving for an additional 7 days, I'll get on to it and ensure all is covered off. FunkyCanute (talk) 15:05, 20 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

In fact, this is clearly untrue, I just hadn't seen it. Nevertheless, if I could have further time, I'd be grateful. FunkyCanute (talk) 15:09, 20 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hold extended for 7 days. Stuff happens, but luckily there is no deadline so it's not a big deal. Wugapodes (talk) 16:50, 20 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Listed Interesting article with very well written prose. I hope I get to read more like it. Thanks for the contribution and keep up the good work! Wugapodes (talk) 16:20, 25 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
