Happy New Year, and pleased to see you're still editing. It seems an age since ]. I'm wondering if you can help me on ]. I'm doing some work on a Copyvio investigation, and I've a query regarding the "College years and depression" section, specially the bit below:
:"She was furious at not being at a meeting the editor had arranged with Welsh poet ] — a writer whom she loved, said one of her boyfriends, "more than life itself". She hung around the ] and the ] for two days, hoping to meet Thomas, but he was already on his way home. A few weeks later, she slashed her legs to see if she had enough "courage" to kill herself."{{sfn|Thomas|2008|p=35}}
Do you happen to have access to the Thomas source, so that we could check whether it is close paraphrasing? I could just re-write it, but I'm reluctant to meddle with a GA, and I know you were a major contributor. And just to be clear, I'm not for one moment suggesting your own editing may be CV, this addition was made in 2012 by a different editor. Anyways, if you can help, I'd be most grateful. Best regards. ] (]) 09:59, 10 January 2024 (UTC) ] (]) 09:59, 10 January 2024 (UTC)

::Hi, I'll look into it. I don't have the books but I can root about online. The text has been there in the article a long time. The GA was slapped on as a "drive by" (as it were). The nominator did very little (if any) editing to the article before nominating and succeeding in GA, if I remember rightly. Thanks for your work. 10:21, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
:{{tps}} If I ever find out who this different editor was, 12 years ago, I'll certainly ask them to check... haha If you don't have a copy of Thomas (2008) Anna, I'd be happy to send you a copy of page 35! Regards and Happy New Year also. ] (]) 10:26, 10 January 2024 (UTC)

Hi Martin, happy new year. Yes, please do send me p35. I hope all is well. (I'm staying well out of any WP politics that might be floating around.) All best wishes. <span style="font-family:Monotype Corsiva;">] (])</span> 10:29, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
