King
editWilliams-Thomas claims to have brought Jonathan King to book; King himself claims otherwise. Williams-Thomas was with the police for 11 years. Would that kind of seniority have left him in charge of a major investigation of that nature?
According to the "Times" of November 22, 2001, the investigation was led by Mervyn McFadden of NCIS; there were a dozen officers working on the team. Is Williams-Thomas really a reliable source? The Surrey officer on the case was Detective Inspector Brian Marjoram. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.177.3.142 (talk) 17:11, 5 November 2014 (UTC)

Gum removal business delete and revert?
editIn my opinion MWT's involvment in a gum removal business has no relevant whatsoever to the career that has made him notable. To the person that reverted my deletion, you example of naming relatives (typically only parents) can help create a context for a person's past. Describing every job they ever held, not. Please consider reverting your revert. Oh, and the citation you restored for Surrey police is a dead link. David notMD (talk) 12:32, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
- I've seen nieces etc mentioned. - I think it rounds the image of a person, even if that one fact alone would not make him notable. - Links often become dead, but at least show that they existed at a time. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:35, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
- You can use this for Surrey, and more, if you like. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:41, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
- As I just explained, even a dead link shows some history. I don't delete them, - sometimes just remove the url. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:22, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
Masters Degree?
edit"Williams-Thomas completed his MA in criminology from Birmingham City University in 2007.[5]
In 2013 Williams-Thomas was awarded a Post Graduate Diploma (Honours) and master's degree (MA) in Criminology at Birmingham City University."
This seems to imply that he graduated in both 2007 and 2013 from the same university with the same degree. One of these should be removed, but I don't know which one.
Conflict of interest
editThis article has been extensively edited by MWT579 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) which is suggestive of a COI and then when they stopped editing in 2018, YazahWiki (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) began editing. YazahWiki has edited articles almost exclusively related to Williams-Thomas. At present, they have written 40% of the text: [1]. As evidenced by Paul W's edits there are problems with the content which need to be addressed. SmartSE (talk) 20:57, 19 December 2023 (UTC)
- I've just logged in and seen this conflict of interest - to clarify, I do know Mark and I have been updating elements which are related to his TV programmes. I would consider them to be minor edits, but as I don't use Wikipedia much I was not aware of the content (conflict) policies. Everything I have entered is accurate, verifiable and linked to sources, but if somebody else wants to verify it and edit it then please do. Thanks YazahWiki (talk) 17:05, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
