editErr, why was the perfectly good listing of Denys Rayner's book removed? He was her captain for a substantial chunk of time during WWII, his book is a primary source, it contains extensive material on her (pp. 188-217), etc? Noel (talk) 22:07, 5 May 2012 (UTC)
- I'd never heard of neither the book, nor the author before.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 22:39, 5 May 2012 (UTC)
- Well, we do have a pretty lengthy article on him (he's fairly notable). Also, the preface to his book contains some very nice words by no less a writer on the subject than Roskill (quoted in our Rayner article, in the "Writer" section). With all that in hand, do you object to putting the reference back? (And maybe in the future you might want to be a bit slower to remove refernces to books you've never seen - since you clearly can't have a good handle on whether they are good references if you haven't ever seen them...)
