Locational Error

[edit]

When you wrote “ In 1871, when Wilde was seventeen, his elder half-sisters Mary and Emily died aged 22 and 24, fatally burned at a dance in their home at Drumacon, Co Cavan.” Your information was wrong, I am unsure if you genuinely made a mistake but the home was not in Cavan, the home was in Monaghan, I know this as I know the owners of that home and the sisters were layed to rest less than a mile away from that home. Monaghan and Cavan are two different counties. Thank you 2A04:4A43:89CF:FF1D:115A:4DC:B31F:1A24 (talk) 01:31, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I have changed it to Co Monaghan. DuncanHill (talk) 01:50, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Errors of fact still present

[edit]

I'm not sure why none of the suggestions I made above have been acted on - the article still contains the errors of fact pointed out re. Walter Grainger's age and the book with the transcript of the libel trial. 80.41.31.136 (talk) 15:00, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
